Zach Freemantle OUT for the remainder of the season

Ouch. Now I wish we had gotten the 3 seed. RIP in peace to Xavier's season

Hate to see it, it’s good if conference teams go far in the tourney.

Were they expecting him back?
X did go 6-3 without him.

He was "available" in their last game and then this happened. Very weird

That's horrible news, I feel terrible for Xavier and especially for Zach. He's a great player.

Must have reinjured it or had bad pain trying to full go. It hasn't been long for a bone to take the stress of college hoops. Stinks for him. He has been a big name in the BE since he was a freshman.

He had a screw put in his foot last year and its come loose. Ew.

Should’ve used the red loctite.

Eh if UConn got the 3, then they’d have a Nova team they just handled and a hobbled Xavier team likely. Winning the BET doesn’t do a ton for seeding if the quality of those wins only ends up being so-so. Be the best, best the best…

They said publicly that he would come back in the first week of March, but I never believed that fakakta (spelling) statement.

Yeah I feel terrible for him, Xavier, and their fans. They will still be good, but I don’t think they are a Final Four team without him.

Great player who I loved to hate. Still wish him the best.

I really liked watching Xavier play at full strength. They were as good an offensive team as there is in the country with Freemantle.

I hate to see any player impacted like this, but this foot surgery is probably the finish line for Freemantle's future basketball career. I wish him the best in the next chapter of his life.

 

[Scrutiner]

Disappointing for Xavier and their fans but, as someone else mentioned, having them at full strength for the NCAA tourney would help the Big East's performance, $ shares, and recruiting.

That really sucks. Feel terrible for the kid. Just imagine the years of working your body and skills to the limit just to have it go poof...
