OT: Pop Isaacs OUT for Year

[Hey Adrien!]

Pop Isaacs is not only Creighton's second leading scorer, but a key distributor (3.9 a/gm) in the Bluejays' three-pronged guard attack w/ Ashworth/Neal.

Fedor Zugic...

 

[ctbro1999]

Ooof, that's huge hit to them.

 

[KemBuckets21]

Yuge bummer. Hip injuries are particularly scary

 

[bendm]

Damn at least he helped beat KU first. Huge win for the BE.

 

[mauconnfan]

He played really well vs Kansas this is a tough loss for Creighton.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

The hits for them on the injury front just haven’t stopped this season. Not sure how they can really recover as a top team without him.

 

[scotty0330]

Agreed this likely will be crippling. Huge loss for Big East as not sure what Creightons ceiling is now without him.

 

[superjohn]

Man, the Big East has had awful luck with injuries the past couple seasons. Awful news for Creighton and Pop.

 

[REB1094]

Brutal. Really tough break for a kid who just had a breakout game, and really tough for Creighton as a team

 

[Rocktheworld]

Dang. Multiple hip surgeries this young tells you he probably didn’t grow into a very athletic frame.

 

[Kathy]

Will be tough going forward for him and Creighton. Best wishes to the young man - hip issues are no fun.

Dang. Multiple hip surgeries this young tells you he probably didn’t grow into a very athletic frame.

Isaacs has probably played his last competitive organized basketball game in his life.

 

[Dove]

Ahhhh, well. They hate us.

 

[uconnsouth]

Dang. Best wishes for this young man on his recovery.

 

[RuffRuff]

Isaacs has probably played his last competitive organized basketball game in his life.

Probably get a gig as a backup wing in Ubekistan pro league.

 

[Jaydumo20]

If you've watched a full Creighton game this year you'll understand how bad this really is. We would've been screaming his name in our sleep if he played us twice this year. All the best wishes. He'll be back

 

[aceboon]

They're gonna need Fedor Zugic cleared ASAP

 

[HooperScooper]

“Feeling crushed for them, losing Pop Isaacs today was just brutal, and I do feel bad for Mac [Creighton coach Greg McDermott] and those players and coaches,” UConn coach Dan Hurley said Saturday.

Creighton has a lot of depth up front. King, Staudt and Miller are good players. I really like King in particular, he is powerful and athletic but smart too. Good touch around the rim, but no range.

 

[ec33]

Ahhhh, well. They hate us.

Yeah, but it is the fun kind of hate. Right?

 

[huskyjawz]

Sucks for the kid. Hope he can recover.
