I know a kid who dislocate his kneecap in football. He was out 2-3 weeks, when he came back he did it again in the 1st quarter of his 1st game back, after reinjuring it he had to have surgery:sad:.

I had a dislocated kneecap in HS, and it had me out the rest of a FB season, so the above wouldn't happen. Sprain, much different and could have him back within a couple of weeks. Hope the MRI goes well.
Losing to #1 teams...a tradition since 1957. There are times to be upset with this team. Tonight is not one of those times.
I'm not really upset about just tonite. Its kind of the cumulative build up of frustration.
He wasn't getting the double teams and it seemed to help him establish better position resulting in more buckets. Had to be a confidence builder.
Why did you have to go there? It did happen, I saw it, it was gross. It was actually the 3rd time he dislocated his knee cap, once as a freshman, twice as a JR in a knee brace right now, plans on playing next year. Some kids are just tougher than others.

Hilton Magic was DEFINATLY there 2nite!! I've never been to an isu game that loud before it was insane!! My voice is gone and both my hands are bruised from banging on the chairs.
The point guard position for ISU is not good. That said, we still played inspired. College basketball is mostly about guard play and we are weak at that position. If we play with the energy we had tonight, we may finish 8-8 in the Big 12 which in my opinion, would be a good year.
Now for the next step - keep it like that for every game and not just top ranked teams - then we have something going :yes:
I thought that was by far our best rebounding effort of the season. When we went up against guys who had better position, several times we at least got a hand on the ball and kept it in play until someone else could grab it. They didn't out rebound us by much.
I also thought we did a great job at breaking on the ball in the passing lanes, especially in the first half.
For the first time this season, we finally played to our potential. And it wasn't like Texas was sitting on their hands. We played at a high level for most of the game against an excellent team which was also playing well.
I think we ran out of gas in the second half, but considering Texas' depth, that's understandable. Yet we hung in there.
When you look at our lineup from top to bottom, no one had a bad game, and some guys were playing out of their minds.
The only negatives I saw tonight was that they were successful in getting open outside shots, especially against our zone. I think that killed us. But not that many teams are going to be able to spread the floor with the talent and depth which Texas can.
Overall, it was the kind of effort necessary to be successful. I am VERY proud of the effort. If we play with this type of intensity, we will win our share of conference games.

Ummmmm, no it wasnt. Not even remotely close. It was a morgue in the 2nd half. 1st half was def as loud as it has been this year. I was shocked how quiet it was with only being down 7 pts, not just CA but the entire crowd.
A lot of people thought DG didnt play well, I thought he did. He seems like a player that, in the future, is going to be able to get his own shot and drive to the basket easily. Somewhat like Tinsley was able to once Fizer left. Not as good as Tinsley but similar.
I think Gilstrap is ok, but everytime he touches the ball I hold my breathe waiting for him to make a poor decision. Sometimes I feel like he forces everything. His line is usually good but watching him move around with the ball, it just seems awkward. Also, I cant imagine anyone thinking that he has any chance at the next level, maybe overseas? I do however think he is an effective college player and valuable member of the team. He also often out hustles people to the ball which on this team is invaluable! He reminds me of Rashon Clark for some reason.

was the crowd good tonight, yes. was it by far the loudest it has been in a fairly long time, yes. does that equate to back during the floyd/eustachy eras when the place damn near shook and there weren't entire minutes of silence (2nd half especially) when we were only a few points down to the #1 team in the country, no. this season isn't showing up much of anything thus far, unless you're measuring those things with moral victories and "what ifs?" The magic will not return until we are capable of winning big games at home, not just coming close.
this is not to say that I was not happy with what I saw tonight and that I wasn't screaming and yelling throughout. but to say that tonight "showed up" the environment at hilton a decade ago only tells me that you obviously were not there to experience it when it was truly crazy and have no idea what you're talking about.
My favorite thing was just the mindset of the team today. The toughest we've played all year, night and day compared to the Duke game.
After hearing about the whole Colvin situation, I had wondered if he hadn't single-handedly caused all of our chemistry issues. It can be hard to gel as a team when there is one player constantly bringing everyone down. To his credit, he seems to be changing his ways. Maybe his suspension will have more of an immediate positive effect than we thought. The next few games will really show if the team is starting to mesh and I can't wait to play Nebraska and find out.
