I don't know why this particular thing bothers me, but it does. The ESPN news article about the injury contains this line...
[URL='https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/28718246/uconn-akok-akok-suffers-season-ending-torn-achilles-tendon'][I]"The injury occurred during the first minute of Sunday's 64-61 victory after Akok had blocked a shot [B]and was running back down court.[/B]"[/I][/URL]
We all saw it. There was no running down court involved. The article even starts with a video that contains the footage of the incident, and clearly shows him react to the injury as he came down from the block, and fall towards the baseline. I don't guess there's any real harm in misrepresenting the facts. I mean it's not going to change the severity of the injury, alter the recovery time or have any effect on the impact the injury will have on our team and Akok's career. But why go to the trouble of inventing something out of whole cloth that is simply wrong?
