BIG SHOT ROB

[cthomas 5,930]

As far as I'm concerned, I'm always in our guys corner through thick and thin as long as they are committed to the team. I've liked Rob because he has seemed to be a team guy. He has been through a lot and he keeps showing up. And, occasionally, he is superb.

I just hope this game put his confidence level in a place where it stays lol....

If we get that kind of play the rest of the year (not saying he needs to be the hero every night), we're sitting pretty.

Rob was great all night!!!

Our entire team was focused and great all night, especially our Bench!!!

Great win and great job Rob!!!

Let’s hope and pray that Rob just had a cramp or a stinger or something minor. What a great ambassador for the program he’s been.

Really hope Rob's injury isn't serious and he can return for a March run.  Here's my video about his big shot vs purdue for those that missed it...

Also posted this in the IU-PSU game thread. Hope this means the news isn't all that bad ...

Not trying to be a Negative Nancy, but that tweet doesn't read positively to me. I'm not going to speculate further on the injury/tweet though. I hope he's back Saturday. We need him.

[LamarCheeks 16,847]

The latest I've seen, which doesn't really say anything ...

Man, that sucks. From the replay it appeared to be his ankle or foot, but no obvious cause. He was just kinda standing there and seemed surprised by it. 

Hope he's back soon and finishes strong.

I watched a replay last night and it looks like it hit right as he was getting ready to jump for that rebound. If you look close he jumps off one leg.

2 hours ago from Zach Osterman --  Per a spokesman, Rob Phinisee remains in the evaluation process after his injury forced exit from the first half of last night's game against Penn State. Mike Woodson next meets with media tomorrow before his team's trip to Maryland. #iubb

Also from Osterman  --  FWIW (this is me, not spokesman), have heard there's optimism Phinisee's injury is not season-ending, but too early to know anything for certain.

It kind of reminded me of Sherron Wilkerson's spiral fracture in that there was no contact or awkward movement.  Whatever the case, fingers crossed.

Reading tea leaves, sounds like he's gonna be out for a while whatever the nature of this injury is.

That stinks. Hope he can get back sooner rather than later.

Hopefully he doesn’t have to wear the walking boot of doom.

[MikeRoberts 6,834]

While his injury is TBD, we have been very fortunate thus far. Injuries, while the suck, are very normal when you have 13 guys practicing and playing at this level. I feel for him as a senior missing any time but IU has been lucky thus far this season

Better than what we all thought.

I know it’s anecdotal, but when I was about 25, I had a mid-basketball game non-contact tear in my arch that felt like I’d been shot in the foot.

Thought it was serious—it was the fibers tearing/technically plantar fasciitis. Within a few days I was walking ‘okay.’

Within a month I was fine.

I could be misremembering but... isn't plantar what Lander has been dealing with?

yes I think that is what has been rumored. Not sure it has ever been confirmed

That's been thrown out as a problem but simply lower leg injury has also been mentioned.
