Polley Tears ACL

[Jimdish255]

Feel really bad for him. Big weapon lost just as he was breaking out and expanding his game. This one hurts.

 

[3rdbass]

Great I turn on the game and I hear this news. Down to 9 scholarship players now and Sid will have to pick up his game big time. He finally showed some toughness inside and then this injury. It might be a tough season if the Freshman can't become more consistent. We need consistent offense from them.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Wow, that's terrible. Just heard it on the broadcast, was busy until now. Get a good reconstruction and get ready for next year, Tyler. The team will miss the outside shooting and the Tyler Phommachanh of last game.

We will really find out now what Akok, Bouknight, Whaley and Wilson can do to take up the slack.

Have you ever seen a team this snake bit? The best player of the last game goes down right before they're most important league game of the year so far. These guys just can't catch a break. Carlton needs to emerge and emerge now.

ACLs are such A hole ligaments. This is so sad.

 

[Tommyboy]

Dammit. Was out working in the yard and started the game a little late and this is the first thing I see. We are truly snakebitten.

Feel terrible for Tyler.

 

[superjohn]

Unfortunate given this was totally avoidable.

This happened on the XL Center court didn't it?

As someone who is about 5 months post acl reconstruction, I feel so bad for Polley. Best game of his career then is out for 8-10 months

Happened on Friday

I bet it was on the XL court. If that's the case I'm livid.

Terrible

The report I read said it was a non contact injury too.

win this game for tyler

 

[Jaybo]

I hate UConn. They’re Seriously cursed

 

[Shine33]

Amazing to me - kid gets major injury, is facing surgery and long recovery and who knows how this will impact his future playing days, his dreams and half of you only worry about how this affects the team.

You always come on here and pretend to be morally superior to the rest of the boneyard. People can see right through that. Makes me wonder what you’re motive is, then I realize i don’t care

No motive - I am who I am if it bothers you put me on ignore. Don't claim to be morally superior just viewing through a different lens. Kids more important than team - always been that way.

 

[Horatio]

Premium WTF. Borderline Voodoo.

 

[Palatine]

Many BYers wanted to bench Polley. There was a contingent who constantly criticized his play (except after Tulane).

He will be badly missed. And the haters will lament his absence.

Done and done.

Doesn’t change injury outcome or the suboptimal court condition today but FWIW... Confirmed that it occurred @ Werth on Friday.

 

[Scoe]

Hurley and the medical staff needs to evaluate how this happened yes not all injuries are avoidable but you gotta try and address this.

As for Polley feel awful for him, sure no one was hurting more then him today, have no doubt he will be back and better next year for big east play.

 

[jayteeman]

Very strange this happens after a really aggressive game he played.....I wonder if there is any connection to this

 

[Excalibur]

Any excuse to find fault with someone. It happened. It's done. Sometimes it is just luck.

Thank you, that's good to hear. Obviously not the injury but I would've been livid if it happened on the XL court.
