Ok since no one else has mentioned Washington’s leg wrap I will

[HerrosHeroes]

Thats not an ankle injury. He did something to the knee that UK has not disclosed.
I realize they dont have to but all the linked reports were talking about a mild ankle sprain.

Well on the play he hurt himself tonight I saw no movement on the ankle.

He is clearly dealing with a knee problem.

Sprain? Hyperextension? I dont know but we got to get him right by the Dance or the S16 is our ceiling.

I guessed hyperextension from the get go but who knows.

The sweet 16 will be good. From 9 wins to that Cal may win coach of the year. This is just not a final 4 kind of team. If ty can't play we done before then tho.

If we're healthy we're at least E8. What 3 or 4 seed you picking over us on a neutral floor?

Man come on now. This is still one of the 3-5 teams that can win it all. No team will win every time out. Teams pick up L’s. Don’t let it make you crazy. That said, Ty does need to be healthy

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

It could be a calf problem to they wear sleeves like that for calf injuries to

 

[specialkd24]

TyTy and Sahvir are unfortunately injury prone. Not a good thing to have heading into March.

 

[Cats192]

It's not a knee injury.

You don't call a knee injury "lower leg."
You can't put weight on a significant knee injury.

You also don't put a kid out there after a significant knee injury when he's not 100%.

 

[Big Cat fan]

If we're healthy we're at least E8. What 3 or 4 seed you picking over us on a neutral floor?

If no ty we will be the 3 seed and a 6 seed Texas or Ohio St or a Mich St will beat us in the second round.Remember the ncaa will seed as they see if our second best player is out .The 2 seed would beat us in sweet16. Have a chance if tyty plays.

It’s a Tumor, it’s not a tumor…

 

[LineSkiCat14]

It's gonna be a heavy debated topic this week: should we hold Ty out longer, in hopes he gets a bit more healing (and removing chance of reiniury)?

I say yes. Don't think he or Toppin should have played tonight, because this wasn't Toppins first injury to the leg. I figured both would be out for a week, so I was surprised to see them back without missing a game.

purdue almost lost to a bad maryland team do you see them final four good?

 

[SpamburgerHamburger]

No chance in France he's out there giving it a go with knee injury. Most likely just a pain management thing and the competitor in him tried to give it a go tonight.

Toppin did miss a game. This was the 1-week mark since his injury.

And just lost to a mediocre Michigan team by 24

It is. TyTy's health will determine how far, but, UK can win it all if healthy.

right,it happens maybe shouldn’t have lost as bad but ty ty being down that hurt us offensively in every facet

It all depends on the injury. I doubt they would have played him with an injury that could be made worse. That’s not happening. Whatever it is is likely to nag him from here on out.

 

[bucsrule8872]

Washington tried to come back too quickly from an injury. He played awful and hurt his team while he was on the floor.

I actually think it’s his pride that hurts the most right now.

 

[Bigblueamdyou]

Notre Dame

i doubt they get in

 

[UK_born_b_bread]

Th

i doubt they get in

They are very solidly in and have a super easy schedule the rest of the way.

 

[CB3UK]

We need him healthy. If he has to sit out until Florida then so be it.

 

[BBNShelbyville]

I noticed it too! That looked like a knee to me. He never even tweaked his ankle tonight. He planted and immediately felt something. Has me a little worried it's not an ankle.

 

[CatOfDaVille]

And just lost to a mediocre Michigan team by 24

Michigan might not even make the tournament.

 

[Big Cat fan]

purdue almost lost to a bad maryland team do you see them final four good?

No I said from the start they are the worst team I seen in the top 10. Too 20 maybe they out in the first week unless they get a 1. A 7 seed beats them.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Toppin did miss a game. This was the 1-week mark since his injury.

Did he? Idk why I thought they both got injured in the same game with Florida.

 

[BlueSince92]

All I know is sitting on the sideline Tyty looked six kinds of mad and scared. You don’t get like that if all you’re thinking about is you won’t be going back into a game you didn’t even know you would play in 12 hours ago.

Yep, not sure why he and a trainer didn't go back to the locker-room and start treatment immediately.

After reading some of the responses Im inclined to think it may not be the knee but some kind of calf strain.

I agree no way they let him play with a knee issue. Also the Dr.’s probably decided he couldn't hurt it worse.

However, Im with those that say he needs to take a few weeks off and get whatever it is healed.

After tonight I think that's what we will see moving forward.

Get well soon Ty.

 

[CBBCrazy]

It could be a bone bruise, they are tough to get over. You go fine and certain leg movements shoot pain up your leg that hurts badly. I have no idea what he has but I have done the bone bruise thing and it is no fun.

Good point. Could be a sever contusion on his lower leg and thats why they let him try to play thru it.

 

[Blisterpac]

I don't think it's a knee given he started. Cal has a track record of not playing kids with that type injury, even giving them an extra game off when they say they are ready. I agree it's most likely a bone bruise the way he was rolled up on and some time off will heal it up nicely.

 

[502 Wildcat]

Whichever one is more physical.

Physicality gets equalized quite a bit when we play on a neutral court. Every game in which we have been manhandled (assaulted) has been on the road. LSU, Auburn, South Carolina, Alabama, and now Tennessee.

Just maybe....he injured both (knee and ankle) !

I had not seen that angle or that speed of the injury from last game until last night. But you can see the ankle sprain happen. AND.... it wasn't a normal sprain where the outside ligaments are partially torn, it was one where the inside ligaments are partially torn. That is what a sprain is, a partial tear in a ligament.

On that drive, I couldn't see any imbalance in either (knee or ankle). But the 13min he played before that, he clearly did not have the same quick-twitch explosion you expect to see from Tyty.

[HerrosHeroes]

CP it really, really, really, really, really, really is a lower leg injury and Ty needs to get about 10% tougher.

 

[blackcat714]

This team will only go as far as TyTy takes it hope he gets to playing better.He has been in a slump for a while now even before injuries.

 

[Smashcat]

Agree. Hold him out longer. If TyTy isn't fully healthy we won't do much in March anyway.
