Badger PG Traevon Jackson Fractured Foot

[Smashcat]

Surgery this week. Saying he'll be out six weeks. Bad for Wisconsin.

 

[Bardstown]

Hate to hear it and 6 weeks sounds very optimistic.

Bye bye 1 seed.

 

[Smashcat]

^^^Agree

Or even our 4 or 5 seed. They could lose quite a few without him.

That said, the committee will be somewhat forgiving so they might be our 3 or 2...depends on well they play without him.

6 weeks is just about the time March rolls around. Not an ideal time to mess with chemistry. They are hosed.

I agree; this probably does push Wisconsin towards our 'regional' bracket.

Depends on how they play without him, and he is a big piece.

Wisconsin will end up being whatever # seed no one wants to have in their bracket.

Koenig is a starter level backup. They will still win the big10.

B1G is very down this year, so I wouldn't be surprised if they just drop 2 or 3 more games and still get a 1 seed.

Prayers for speedy recovery.

Oh I'm not scared of them at all. That said, if they drop from the 1 line (idk how they don't now), they will be in our bracket. I would bet all my savings on that. Anyone want to debate?

 

[Tummygoat]

Being early enough this can help backup point guard grow. Might end up helping them down the road if he comes back strong and they assimilate quickly.

Prayers for speedy recovery.

Every team is one serious injury away from seing their season blow up!

Sounds like a "jones fracture" fracture of the 5th metatarsal, same one Durant did and consquently same one i just had surgery for, its a mofo.....

Except Kentucky. Losing Poythress would have annihilated any chance of a Final Four run for most programs. Kentucky is still stung by the loss, but they are still a contender. If Duke lost Jefferson or if Arizona lost Ashley, they'd both be finished as far as national title contention is concerned due to lack of depth.

When I saw him go down in the Rutgers game, is was a VERY awkward way in which he went down. You never want to think a player is going to be down and out after something like that, but it juts looked very very bad. I had a bad feeling something serious had been done, but was hoping that it was just a sprain or something like that (not serious).

Hope he gets well soon and fully recovers.

 

[MWes11]

Hoping for a speedy recovery and he can get back to 100%.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Even if he does make it back before the tournament, he won't be in basketball shape and will be rusty. This would be a big blow to any team.

Didn't know they had a coffee maker on their team.

Hope the kid recovers quickly.
