Hate to see any player get hurt.

Kendall Marshall is one of the truly nice kids in college basketball.

He rates somewhere just below Kemba on the 'too good to be true' scale - shame to see him injured.

 

[Scoe]

as much as I want to see UNC go down you hate to see this happen to anyone

 

[Ts5034]

Terrible. Probably the worst thing that can happen to a team at this point besides a losing a game. Kind of reminds me of when Colt McCoy went down in the national championship game vs Alabama.

 

[UCHuskies08]

Really rough. Carolina fans must be feeling very bittersweet right now.

 

[cohenzone]

Very bad for him and his team. Pretty much probably ends my run in my son's law firm humungous office pool where I have UNC and would have a decent shot at some winnings even if not in first place.

Did anyone hear what Jason williams said on First Take? Paraphrased: Marshall doesn't need to play anymore because it may damage his draft status. Kendall is a quality kid and a VG PG. I can't imagine that his status would be effected. Without him NC in deep dodo. I don't think much of williams' opinions.

Williams is an idiot. Marshall shouldn't play if he is seriously injured or could re-injure/injure it worse. It has little to do with his draft status. He could only really mess that up if he hurts himself worse.

BTW it really annoyed me how whiny Roy Williams was about some kid on Creighton fouling Henson, because the foul was on his injured wrist. If the kid is out there, you can't complain when the defensive player slaps at the ball and misses. As long as it wasn't intentional.

Just heard this -- his dad says he'll be ready to play.

Its his non shooting hand.......if that matters. For guards its usually a 2 handed sport, especially at the tourney level. We'll see.

Bingo. Kendall Marshall isn't a spot up shooter, he's a point guard who makes things happen off the dribble and/or finishes at the rim. He needs to be able to use that right hand to break down defenders and be a threat to attack either direction. Now you can pretty much shade him on his left side.

If the doctors clear him, might as well play.

 

[UConn5]

My guess is that Marshall gives it a go as long as the doctor is able to assure him that he isn't risking long term damage by doing so.
