Any update on Hassan?

[FearThePups]

Anybody hear what’s up with Diarra?

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Got elbowed in the nose.

 

[HHusky]

He'll be hyper motivated by Monday night, so watch out!

 

[bendm]

He went back in the game so it can’t be broken

Donovan Clingan played the game with his right hand taped. Hassan Diarra ended the night taking an elbow flush in the nose.

Neither injury is serious and neither will keep the two UConn Huskies out of Monday night's national championship game against Purdue.

Diarra also said he was fine despite getting his nose bloodied by the elbow of Alabama's Rylan Griffen in the final minute of play. Blood was still running down Diarra's nose in the locker room and he was wiping it away with a white towel.

Diarra looked fine in the locker room answering dumb questions from Pardon My Take.

Imagine Hassan coming out with a mask and headband… hammer his over in points

I could see him playing in full Jason from Halloween hockey mask. That would be awesome!

That would make sense due to the Connecticut ties of Friday the 13th part 2. (Which was shot in Kent and New Preston.)

He’s hungry

 

[Stinger92860]

I’ve broken my nose 6 times. He is playing no matter what.

 

[Captbluefin]

Hell and fire will NOT keep Hass off that floor tonight.

A battle tested Old Veteran. He will make his presence known during the night

 

[IndyLives]

Just a few facial fractures. It will just motivate him to play harder.

Damn - all this time I thought Jimmy Durante had passed away

Normal size, but crooked. Most breaks were on a basketball court, someone’s head to nose being the #1 choice. Other popular methods include line drives during batting practice, and face planting as a youngster.

Broke my nose so many times it got yanked back to straight again after the last one. He'll be playing.

Hass would be playing if you chopped one of his arms off. He's a winner.

Post-game at team hotel, very briefly spoke with Clingan (no hand wrap) and Hassan looked like Diarra with pizza in hand waiting for elevator. Unprofessional 2 cents insight of zero value, both will be OK in NCAA final.

 

[BGesus4]

Nose definitely looks jacked up

 

[Palatine]

Reminds me of Roscoe with the black eye. That turned out pretty well.

 

[freescooter]

Only a flesh wound!
