March 29, 201412 yr Hoping it's not serious, but anytime a player says they heard or felt a "pop" it's not a good sign. However, I am excited by the way Dakari played. Prayers to Willie!
March 29, 201412 yr It will be very tough without Willie. It was already thought that Michigan was a poor matchup for UK.
March 29, 201412 yr It is going to be tough with or without him from here on out...but really tough without him
March 29, 201412 yr Its going to be really tough. UK has their hands full, but to be in the Elite 8 with a legitimate shot to win it all is all that you can ask. The team is playing well and playing together. If WCS is out the rest of the way, Dakari continuing to contribute will be a big help. Poythress and Young have to play big as well going down the stretch. And more Hawkins please. Like his defense. Horrible offensive player though.
March 29, 201412 yr Things will be tough without him. Anything is possible after the way the game just finished. If they did this to Louisville without him, I wouldn't consider it impossible against anyone else remaining.
March 29, 201412 yr I've read rumors it's an Achilles tear. Which would mean WCS would be a real asset to Kentucky. In 2016.
March 29, 201412 yr BTW, you could put WCS on the floor with an achilles injury and simply tell him to stand in the paint on the defensive end and he'd be more effective than Marcus Lee.
March 29, 201412 yr BTW, you could put WCS on the floor with an achilles injury and simply tell him to stand in the paint on the defensive end and he'd be more effective than Marcus Lee. Lee will probably have to play some against Michigan. That's scary. Hopefully he won't do too bad. Foul trouble on Sunday could be a huge issue.
March 29, 201412 yr WCS seen riding on a golf cart/getting off with crutches. I don't think that's all precautionary.
March 29, 201412 yr Will be extremely difficult, but with the way Poythress and Johnson picked their game up tonight made our road look a little more promising moving on without WCS.
March 29, 201412 yr Everything I've seen and heard said Achilles. If so, he's obviously done and facing a long recovery.
March 29, 201412 yr I think best case he's just out for the rest of this year. If not an Achilles then severe sprain or even a break. If it's achillies see Dragonfires post above.
March 29, 201412 yr Lee will probably have to play some against Michigan. That's scary. Hopefully he won't do too bad. Foul trouble on Sunday could be a huge issue. It will be a lot like 1992, trying to milk minutes from a young Riddick and terrible Aminu Timberlake.
