UConn vs. Texas - Isaiah Taylor Out

[Silk31]

For anyone who was watching Texas beat up Iowa last night at MSG in the 2K Classic, you saw how good and how valuable Taylor is.

Very late in the game with the game out of reach, Taylor decided to fly down the lane and throw down a monster dunk when he was fouled and took a nasty spill. Well that dunk attempt might have seemed like a good idea to him at the time but now he suffered a wrist injury that will keep him out several months and that will include their starting PG missing the UConn game.

its indefinite, likely out vs UConn but I doubt it stretches to several months.

Bummed on one hand because I'm going to be in Gampel with my dad for my first game in-person since I graduated a couple years ago and this reduces the level at which the game will be played to some degree

But now I really hope we win. Won't look good if we can't win when the other team is missing one of if not their best and most important players.

He was attempting "showtime" when his team didn't need it. If it's only broken and not a ligament he will be lucky.

Sounds like when a Celtic (I am nearly positive it was Tony Allen but could be mistaken) went in for a showtime dunk well after a foul was called, and tore a knee ligament.

Or when a football player hurt his leg celebrating after a tackle in a losing effort earlier this year.

There was literally no need for it and he and Texas paid dearly for it. This makes that Texas game even more of a must win. We need to take advantage of every chance we can get to add to our overall resume OOC being that the AAC looks to be in the shitter with Cincy and Memphis down and SMU off to an 0-2 start
