Polley Tears ACL

[jkfer98]

Crushing

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

We simply cannot have nice things

 

[wheelerdog]

Welcome to the starting lineup Mr. Bouknight

 

[Kenny11]

What the ffffff

 

[Robertelamin]

Get well soon. It came after the best game of his career....I guess Bouk and Sid will be seeing more playing time

 

[Dooooooomed]

fantastic

 

[dannyHAM]

Wow... that sucks. Maybe medical redshirt?

 

[Excalibur]

Wow... that sucks. Maybe medical redshirt?

Too late

 

[UConnSwag11]

Sucks for him. For the team, We finally had a player who can come off screens catch and shoot for three consistently. Hope he gets better soon

 

[CL82]

Man I completely feel for him. It seemed like the light bulb came on and he realized how good a player he can be if he asserts himself more. My heart goes out to him and I hope that he comes back fully.

 

[uconnsouth]

Get well Tyler

 

[DaveHuskiesFan]

The injuries UConn has had over the past 4 years are absolutely insane:

Gilbert Shoulder
Gilbert Shoulder
Larrier ACL
Adams Knee
Diarra career ending Knee issue
Polley ACL

 

[MuchoDogYears]

You got to be kidding.

[BNich]

WHY!?!?! WHY!?!?! This team can't get any luck.

 

[upstater]

I feel really bad for Polley. You can tell how hard he works to improve. His shot, his ball skills, like night and day from freshman year. And then this happens.

We surely need his outside shooting.

 

[MattMang23]

He should be able to play through that, right?

 

[KingAG]

Wow. Deja Vú. I always felt we could still have a successful season as long as we stayed healthy. This is a blow. Injuries doomed us the past couple of seasons. It’s trying to do that again. In disbelief

 

[superjohn]

This is devastating to Tyler and the team, just devastating. We needed another bigtime recruit at guard/small forward for next season, now we need it even more.

 

[Calhoun's Court]

I feel horrible for Polley and and the team.
The kid just gets going and this happens.

 

[Pgh2Storrs]

Awful, awful news for a great kid. Our injury luck over the last 3-4 years, or lack thereof, is simply mind blowing.

We’re going to have to go small fairly often now. Bouknight is the obvious next man up, but if Sid is ever going to find his stride in a UConn uniform, now is his chance. Another idea I’d toy with is playing Gaffney/Alterique together.

 

[Austin316]

Sad. Get well soon TP.

 

[Hoophound]

That’s a big loss but for now we can hope it results in Bouk becoming a major contributor faster and/or the resurgence of Sid Wilson. I don’t consider this injury the end of any hope for this team to get it together. We still have guys with ability that aren’t playing up to their potential that might step up.

Feel bad for TP though. He looked good the other night.

 

[aburks41]

Wow...can he redshirt next year since he's losing an offseason of development and come back in 2021?

 

[Tucker]

I just let out a major league fu%k followed by a huge sigh

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Bouknight gonna need to produce

 

[Excalibur]

Time until Nelson says “why do we care if our players are so bad?” or something similarly dumb?

 

[ToolzieFan]

Poor kid. This sucks for him and the team.

 

[Caronimo]

Hate to see it after his break out game and effort. Unfortunate break for a god kid. Seemed like we had a rotation that started clicking with him in it. Hope for a speedy recovery and time to completely unleash bouk

 

[Tyler2Rings]

I really feel for Tyler. Dude is always working, and has made great adjustments all year to improve defense and rebounding. It sure is a shame because he still has a ways to go and I have no doubt he would have been even better by the end of the year. Hope the team can pick him up and play for him today
