NEW YORK -- Syracuse may have lost more than a basketball game on Thursday.
Senior center Arinze Onuaku fell to the floor with a right knee injury with five minutes, seven seconds remaining in the game and left the arena on crutches after No. 8-seeded Georgetown upset top seed Syracuse, 91-84, in the Big East tournament quarterfinals at Madison Square Garden.
“We’re hoping it’s just a strain, but tomorrow we’ll get an MRI — It’s already scheduled,” Dr. Irving Raphael, the Syracuse team physician, said in a hallway after the game. “I expect him to play unless there’s a surprise. But we’ll get the MRI, treat what we get and then you’ll all know as soon as I know.”
for syracuse’s sake, i hope he is ok. If he is out for the tourney they are in deep trouble. Syracuse doesnt have the depth to make up for his loss.
I agree…I hope Onuaka is okay. Don’t wish that on any team.
Its ” Onuaku” MilesCat, lol Get Well Arinze hate this part of the game but If It was going to happen I’d rather see It In the Big East Tourney than the NCAA’s.
It doesn’t matter ……the Cal Express is beginning to stoke the coal …… 6 games …none closer than 20 ……
In the SEC I might add, we’ll see If they cut the nets down In Indy…
The SEC has won 7 out of the last 20 NC’s Einstein …care to guess how the Big East stacks up ?
Great job of coaching by Cal today …… yeah ….. fouling with a 3 point lead ….. always the play
(snickers)
Please and Kentucky has how many of them, oh I forgot Florida Is the only teams that was winning at the time. Lets see how many SEC teams are In the Tourney compared to the Big East this year, we have eight In how about you guys. See you In Indy, If you make It.
