Got experience with this one. Bet it's the ring finger. For some reason you seem to jam the ring finger the most in hoops.
You sure about that, the ring finger? A friend of mine went to seton hall and played a lot of hoops. Every time he got hit in the nose he would break his index finger.

In the post game presser. Pike does not dismiss the injury but says the team will have to deal with the repercussions of not having RHJ

Did I mention they were serving beer at the RAC tonight 😂
Fonesca made it a point at the beginning of his piece:

Rutgers continues stampede through Big Ten with blowout over Illinois: Is stunning NCAA Tournament bid locked up?

By Brian Fonseca | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
The moment was ripe for another monumental win in a month full of them.

Rutgers, fresh off a historic week, hosted one of the best teams in the country. Jersey Mike’s Arena, packed to the gills with booze back on the menu...

I don’t know what’s worse, Jammed or dislocated? Can a dislocation be popped back in and maybe quick recovery?

Dislocate is out of the joint but either way you can damage the pocket between the bone or tendons. I dislocated my thumb playing basketball when I was a kid and they just popped it back in at the ER. Didn’t really hurt. I only got a cast because I was going skiing with the fam the next day!

They def said at halftime of NW Purdue that Pike said it was bad... maybe he just said it looked bad or was going off Harper saying it was bad

These later comments make it sounds not as bad and coach knight apparently saying he will be fine.

Maybe just a really bad painful jam in the end?
Thanks brother...I wasn't making it up! Hopefully Ron is just fine. At this point, I don't even care about Purdue game. Just need him back healthy for the final run.

I've broken 3 different fingers in my life and it sucked. Hard to accurately shoot a basketball with a splint on one of your pinkies or ring finger. Hope it's just a bruise for ron with no damage

"Head coach Steve Pikiell could not shed much of a light on the injury in his postgame press conference.



“Honestly, I don’t know,” he said. “He hurt his hand. So we have to kind of figure that out. He’s down there with the doctors now.""

“He’ll be all right,” guard Caleb McConnell said. “We’re really concerned (whenever a teammate gets hurt) but I feel like there’s nothing to really worry about. He’ll bounce back. He’ll be back.”
------------
Still wondering how BTN and Knightline got "it's bad" out of Pikiell with those statements.

So it appears Illi's Stuttering John Melendez was flapping his hand and tapped Ron's shoulder causing Ron to take his eyes off the pass for 1/10th of a second . Is that a foul? It wasn't a push or bump but there was contact and kinda dirty pool.


By the end of the game the Illini were doing actual body blows to get fouls called on them. Saw them body slam Geo, hit Hyatt in the chin, etc. Never seen anything like it.
