Which has helped give UConn a 6 point lead over MU at the half.
In other news, Rutgers is up by 8 on the Irish in South Bend at the half. As troubling as this season has been, its at least never been THAT bad (and Brey has no excuse with barely any turnover from last year)
UPDATE: The announcers are saying its a foot fracture, out indefinitely

ND is just setting itself up for a big turnaround and a strong finish. Brey has a third coach of the year award in the bag.

UConn recognizes Hasheem Thabeet isn't very good at playing basketball, at least on the offensive end, so why can't Dookie V recognize it?

James is a huge part of that team... but people also need to recognize that he really hasn't gotten much better since his freshman year. Somehow he has become a worse tree throw shooter (who knew it was possible), the rest of his numbers are down, and he is the 3rd/4th option on offense.
No question it hurts Marquette's already slim chances at winning the Big East/more than a round or two in the big dance, but that team is still plenty good to win games without James.

ha sleepy but i mean you never like to see a kid go down with a season (career ending?) injury like that 5th metatarsal is definitely not career ending, he may even be back before the end of season depending on how far they go. They usually only take 4 weeks to heal, sometimes less. But not only are we not playing well this season, but I am pretty sure this just proves that the universe is against us too. Personally I think it is just the karamic balance for things going so well for us in passed years, and things will start turning around next year.

Bound to happen eventually when you play college ball for 10 years like James has.

No question it hurts Marquette's already slim chances at winning the Big East/more than a round or two in the big dance, but that team is still plenty good to win games without James. Depends how you define better. He certainly hasn't become a better scorer; in fact, he may have regressed in that regard. I think it took him until this season, but I think he's shown he has become a better player. He is a better passer, perhaps a better ball-handler, better leader, better at running the break, better defender and he plays within himself. Freshman year, it almost seemed like he wanted to be DWade. Now, he wants to be a true point guard, and I think that has made a huge difference. His role changed, and he's finally embraced it, and I think that turned him into a very good senior, after being a rather disappointing junior. Tough loss for that team -- tougher than statistics would suggest, I think.

I feel bad for him. He's one of the few kids who always had people in his ear telling him to go pro, but he never did. Granted, they were wrong, but most kids would have done it anyway. Tough way to go out.
