Nothing else mattered tonight after our heart and soul left the game. I am hoping by some sort of miracle he can play in the NCAAs, but really it is simply a tough break for CW. The epitome of the saying "life isn't fair"

Oddly poetic turn of events for a player who began is career in a boot. He will finish it four years later in a cast.

NCAA's are in 3 weeks. Pending severity, let's hope CW is better by then. I know Chris doesn't want this to be his last Hoya game.

Terrible turn of events for both Chris and the team. Really feel bad for the kid. Not quite sure Starks is ready to run the show as the primary PG, but now's his opportunity to step up.

This just feels so unfair for Chris. Awful. I feel horrible for him. Now that he has a broken hand, I hope he breaks his foot off in the butts of some of his teammates. You can lead from the bench CW. Still need the heart and competetiveness from you. I'd sure love to have the guy that breaks the presses on the floor too but that's, apparently, not to be.

Googled for some comps. Not promising but not 100% impossible ... I hope ...
Indiana's Christian Watford (6'8" forward) broke his left/non-shooting hand 1/30. "Out indefinitely." He had surgery and was back for their 2/12 game.
Iowa State's DeMarcus Phillips (6'2" guard) broke his left/non-shooting hand in practice 10/26/10. His first game back was 12/21/10, but he doesn't appear to play much so it's hard to tell whether he could have come back sooner.
USC's Alex Stepheson (6'9" forward) broke his left/non-shooting hand 11/13/10 and didn't miss a game! He played with a bulky cast ... obviously that won't work for a PG.
Carlos Boozer broke his right/shooting hand 10/2/10 and was "out 2 months." His first game back was 12/1/10.
Kevin Love broke his left/non-shooting hand in October 2009 during the NBA pre-season and was "out 6 weeks." His first game back was December 4.

Makes you sick. The kid has fought so hard this year, and through his career. You saw the tepid display in the second half by our guys, and that's directly correlated to the fact that Chris wasn't out there grabbing the team by the scruff of the neck and bringing it back into the game.
I hope he can make a shock return like his freshman year and play in the tourney for us. But if not, he'll always be a star in my book. One of the most underappreciated Hoyas I can remember, and I guy we're all going to miss dearly next year. Poor kid.

You know what may be the most ironic thing? I am fairly certain the play on which he broke his hand, he was called for a foul (he had fell on the floor and had the ball in his hand.)

You could see how despondent he was on the bench. He knew it was the probably end of his career at Georgetown, when his team needed him most, with no way to change the facts. Just horrible - for us, but even more for him. To be honest, sitting across from the Hoya bench, I couldn't focus on the game after he went out, because it seemed less important than this guy that we have all gotten to know so well over four years.
Markel isn't remotely close and never will be, IMO. He's not without talent, but so far he strikes me as cocky without much justification. Let's hope he grows. At least we'll finally see more Vee.
FWIW (and I was not a 22-year old athlete at the time), it took me 8 weeks plus lots of PT to recover from my broken wrist (bike crash).

The same thing happened to me. I actually couldn't have cared less about the game the second time he went out. You just knew.....

All the guys you mention (sans the benchwamer Phillips) are big men though. A PG who uses his hands for dribbling, penetration and shooting will have to have their hand healed alot more than a big man who can grab boards.

Looks like the Chris Wright haters finally got their wish to start Markel and bench Chris.
Horrible news.
