The elephant in the room: Was he drunk when it happened? Even if he was, that's OK, by the way, so long as he wasn't just arriving back after having been behind the wheel of a vehicle. Reset: Late Friday night one source told many national reporters that Bob Huggins had broken four ribs in a fall in his Las Vegas hotel room by falling into a coffee table. Huggins was in Vegas ... Read More

If you thought Da'Sean Butler would create a moment we'd remember from this year's Tournament, it certainly wouldn't have involved him laying on his back as his coach tried to calm him emotions. I'll get to Duke a little later this morning. Because how can I not address what Bob Huggins did? That display of leadership, fatherhood, devotion and nurture was something so damn endearing in such a dire, depressing moment ... Read More

West Virginia fans have joked they have a point guard problem — because Darryl Bryant was playing as one. But Truck Bryant was a factor in WVU's offense, even if it was minor. The Mountaineers lost their starting 1 tonight because he has a busted up right wheel. He's gone for the season and now Joe Mazzulla, who saw some time operating the offense, will be in charge. ESPN.com got the story ... Read More

It's nothing to do with a knee and everything to do with a quad. But we still haven't been given all the details on the injury in question. Did you notice that?

Everything to digest from all of Saturday's action is inside. Come on in. Plenty of analysis and reaction to a frantic, underachieving and future-shifting Thursday.

Most sports fans realize those three words are always followed by another two: season over.

Temporarily lost amid the thrilling news that the Badgers ended Purdue's stainless start to the 2009-10 season was the fact potential Big Ten Player of the Year candidate Jon Leuer went down with a left wrist injury. Now, reality sets in. Leuer, the junior leading the team with 6.2 boards per game and second-highest on the squad with 15.4 points, goes under the knife tomorrow. Wisconsin, with its 13-3 record and newly polished ... Read More

So says this site, an Ohio State blog powered by the Columbus Post-Dispatch. Turner, who had a terrible-looking fall against Eastern Michigan at the beginning of December, was expected to miss approximately two months. But just more than four weeks into the rehabilitation process, it's a good possibility Turner will have a chance at getting his sea legs back against the Hoosiers on Wednesday. Evan Turner will be available to play against Indiana ... Read More

It's gotten pretty gloomy in Bloomington. Maurice Creek was the brightest spot on a team that's probably in Year Two of a four-year rebuilding process. Creek, the freshman from Oxon Hill, Md., went down in IU's 90-42 win over winless Bryant. Driving to put home a layup, Creek landed awkwardly on his left knee and fractured it. (Cringe.) Creek was averaging a freshman-best 17.6 points per game. How Indiana will make up ... Read More

Watching many kinds of basketball injuries are cringe-inducing. A bad ankle turn or two knees tangling up with each other will make you squirm as much as a quintessential episode of "The Office." But for me, there is nothing more unsettling, upsetting and jarring than seeing a player lose his grip on the rim and fall six-plus feet to his demise. It happens, between all of the action happening in the ... Read More

Mouphtaou Yarou, the Villanova freshman center from Benin (borders Nigeria),  is going to be out of action indefinitely after he was diagnosed with hepatitis B earlier today/some time last night. It's been a rocky start already for Yarou, whose age has been in question pretty much since he signed on to play with Villanova. In case you're unaware of what hepatitis B is, I'll link you up to Google Health. It's a ... Read More

Ever-reliable screen-grabber Sports Hernia captured what are two of the most anguishing photos last night of the Syracuse forward's inability to hang on to the rim before he tumbled to the ground. Here's one of the photos. The other can be found here. And in case you need to squirm some more: Kristof Ongenaet runs out of air on a wild reverse 2 1/2 tuck {Sports Hernia} ... Read More

(UPDATE: Curry could be good to go later this week.) Lost in the hoopla of all the terrific individual performances from yesterday was college basketball's baby-faced star overextending his ankle ligaments down in Greenville, S.C. How bad was the twist? News should break (hold the rimshot, please) on that later on today, but it's certainly clear: Davidson's Tournament hopes are done if Curry's injury costs him more than two games. As it ... Read More

Dayton will now be hampered the rest of the season. Third-leading scorer Rob Lowery had surgery on his right knee today, ending his season. {Dayton Daily News} ... Read More

(UPDATE: It appears Dyson could be done for the year.) A little bird told me he saw Jerome Dyson walking around UConn's campus today — on crutches. Dyson was moving slowly and said, "It hurts, man. It hurts." That's a money quote. UConn's second most efficient offensive player went down last night during the Syracuse game after he collided with Kristof Ongenaet in the first half. There hasn't been a story, yet, that tells ... Read More

There will be some consternation around Chapel Hill today over the news that senior defensive stalwart Marcus Ginyard will be done for the rest of the year with a stress fracture in his left foot. Additionally, Will Graves, a moderate bench player, has been suspended for the rest of the year. No one has stated why yet. When will we know? Or will Roy Williams cloak this in mystery for as ... Read More

West Virginia guard Joe Mazzulla will be out the rest of the season. He's been hampered most of the year with a bad left shoulder, and that shoulder will need surgery. {Charleston Gazette} ... Read More

  Or something to that effect. I never got into South Park. Anyhoo, Kenny George might miss the entire season with a bum ('scuse me, infected) right foot. Yum. We may have seen the last of George on an American basketball court. Kind of depressing; I really enjoyed all that Hansbrough dunking on him and stuff.   ... Read More
