UConn's Ryan Boatright left locker room on crutches, ice on his sprained left ankle. But he said, "I'm a dawg, I will be back." Yale fri?

ESPN just reported at halftime of PC-UK that @ESPNAndyKatz said Boatright has a sprained ankle but UConn trainer says he should be fine.

Phew......Ryan, Rodney and Omar need to be healthy pronto.

Keep him out next 2 cupcakes. Get him back for Duke.

Providence coaches think Yale is better than Harvard who is nationally ranked. They have played both. Yale is not a cupcake.

I tend to agree here. If we can't beat Yale on Friday without Boatright we have bigger problems this season than worrying about a tourney seed.

Agreed but Ron is right, Yale isn't a cupcake. Need to beat Yale to buy time. It's straight uphill if they don't beat Yale.

Especially this early in the season I would be nervous about playing anyone without Boat in the lineup.

I just get nervous with ankles as they seem to linger longer than other injuries. I have maybe 1/1,000 of boat's athletic capabilities on the court and I hurt mine bad and took awhile only to reinjure it. Can't imagine with all the extra force he must exert.

Just have to trust the doctors. At least it's a definitive ankle and not the infamous 'lower leg injury' from football.

Glad it's an ankle, did not like the way he twisted as he was falling to the floor. Rest him if at all possible.

 

[BugsyCT]

Still better than a fracture.

 

[zls44]

Yale is better than usual, but if they get a solid lead, keep him out. Goes for both games.

He is too important, have to be smart here.

 

[uchusky32]

Be smart yes. But I'm not sure here. Our guard play with Boat is pitiful. And yes Rp didn't play. But he's not a ball handler. Tsam and SCJr don't do it for me. There is a reason KO was going after another ball handler next year besides JA.
