What happened Ace?

In post game presser, Pike said Ace got tired.
He looked like he was in a fair amount of pain. He limped off the court and was grabbing at his groin or hamstring. They tried to stretch him out but he was in a lot of pain and limped into the training room. I hope he’s ok
Article yesterday on Scheyer’s concerns with his freshman cramping in the early games.

Connor Noonan is reporting that Ace was disgusted with not getting more shots tonight and is entering the portal.
He’s shutting it down and plans to come off the bench for BYU next season

hope that's true...he was limping pretty good and i saw them give him the theragun before he went into the locker room.
The intensity of college basketball for freshman is always quite the shock. Seems our star players aren't immune to it either.
You can make the argument that Somerville is the best conditioned freshman on the team. I haven’t seem any signs of him wearing down
Nice handle Phil. Go back to the seton hall and Villanova board.
Pikiell rarely knows full story about players health updates in my memory of postgames. He appears clueless, and I think coaches don't overly concern themselves with the topic. Tom Thibs has similar reactions.
Truth is, Ace doesn't get messaged and not be able to shake hands because of cramps. It is something more serious.
I will say, as with any athlete that plays at a very high level, you need a fair amount of structure and strength. Ace is clearly very thin, and it is not healthy to be playing such a high impact game at his weight. For safety and longevity, he needs to put on some bulk and prioritize it. If not, he will have injuries. For right now, I think this will be potentially off and on until he figures out the right program.

There were a couple of defensive possessions in the second half where he didn't even pretend to try, presumably because he was gassed. It sucks that we can't get more minutes out of Ogbole
Another guy who is both a doctor and knows more than the head coach.
Lathan plays fewer minutes than Dylan and Ace. Plays a role in it.
Did you sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night?
Doesn't take a PhD to know that a player doesn't sit out for weeks straight because they have cramps.
Possibly. Why did he not play first two games though? You play and practice to get into shape. Well see. If he is out next game, it is not cramping.
I was watching Duke Vs Army game. Cooper Flagg was cramping. It happens.
Yeah, but Ace missed first two games. Was that for cramping? I hope for the best and as he is young, I hope he prioritizes himself. I'd rather him out for a month than try to rush back and reinjure himself.
Not bad....you managed to denigrate Ace, Pike and Thibs in the same post.
No offense, but they don't need to tell you or anyone what the injury is. Not sure why you want our coaches to give away info that could be used against us.
Absolutely. I have just been reading on here for weeks about people suspecting what his injury is. None of us really know. It is not a competitive answer for coaches to share either.
It's been reported as a hip injury. You could see him limping around during the Wagner game, and to a lesser extent the St Peters game.
He was just cramping during the Monmouth game. They were massaging his leg and people behind the bench heard him say "I'm cramping". Pikiell confirmed it was just cramping post-game as well.
He had a hip flexor injury, that does not mean he did not deal with cramps against Monmouth.
Cramping, especially at the end of games, is usually from dehydration and fatigue. It happens and likely associated with the lack of activity while resting the hip. I’m not searching for reasons to be worried and neither should you.
Apparently, according to one report (from a fan sitting behind the bench, maybe?) , Bailey was offered, multiple times, Gatorade "tabs" - for quick hydration - while on the bench ... refused saying he was fine ... shortly afterwards he cramped.
18-year-olds know everything - no matter that they are stars, he is still just an 18-year-old ... who knows everything ... or think they do. He will learn.

I hope so!
Mark Twain has the best father-son commentary ever (I used it with my kids all the time as they moved from teens to adults):
"When I was 18 my father knew nothing. I went away to college, and I was amazed when 4 years later, after I graduated from college, how much my father had learned."

UF stole the Gatorade receipe from FSU and trademarked it - and still received royalties from it
