Yep, pretty much kills any remote chance we had of a deep March run.
Dang our board police must’ve been wrong about the op just because he had a low post count 
I agree. They probably won't officially say it, but if it's a foot injury, day to day is just the polite way of not disclosing his full injury. Also protects his draft stock a bit.
Probably so. Wonder if maybe he needed surgery to start the year and just refused to get it.
Good god. We aren’t going to the NIT.
Big opportunity for SKJ. He was whining about PT, right? This is your chance kid.
We also lost 7 games with Vanderbilt playing. We all know he makes us better, but our resume with and without him isn't substantially different.
Maybe it drops us a seed line or so. Just makes it easier for them to setup whatever matchup suits them.

I couldn't agree more. Put your money where your mouth is. I'm just afraid Cal will throw Richards in there for 25 mins a game now. I'm afraid we may have won out last game this year. Without Vando, we are very weak on the glass.
Geeeeez. I'm afriad this will be a WCS 2014 situation - where no one really said what happened and said he might be back, but after the season they finally told the truth... he was not coming back at any point in that tournament.
I'm on the pessimist side saying that this expedites his departure from UK. He needs to get some sort of paycheck before his foot gives out for good, similar to Harry Giles. If he suffers a career ending foot injury at UK next year, that's on us.
I hope he recovers fully, but wow... we just cannot catch a break whatsoever.

MJ just said that the person who originally told him about the injury said, "it doesn't look good for Vanderbilt"
Cal will NOT reveal anything about this injury if it has anything to do with his previous foot injuries. Cal will protect the kid above all else. He will also protect our team's NCAA Tournament seed.
As someone else mentioned above, If he doesn't play in Friday's game, I don't look for him to play any more this season. Then an announcement will most likely be made on Monday.
Hope it wasn't anything serious and he comes out strong on Friday.

I am beginning to think someone is doing some kind of voodoo on our team. Since Cal has been here we have had a season ending injury to WCS which affected our tournament run, a season ending injury to Poythress that in my opinion cost us a title, Vanderbilt's early injury and now this one, Jamarl Baker season ending injury plus others that were for several games. Meanwhile Duke plays guys 39 minutes per game and hasn't had near the bad luck with injuries. Some bad mojo going on.
**** on a stick. What a waste of a season. Not been healthy one game. Best shooter hasn't played a minute.
What kind of crack are you on? We're in even if we lose the first SEC tourney game. We're in with Vando or no Vando. How far we can go is the question, but were IN for sure. Sheesh.
Many on here are way too prideful and uneducated to do that.
Just saves SEC stripes the trouble of taking him out of the game the way they did at UF.
we just got blown out our last game with Vando......... so its not like we were going to set the world on fire anyways.
We don't even know if he injured his foot. There is a rumor it could just be a finger or hand injury. Someone on KSR just called in and said that on his story he was wearing some type on splint. I am not giving up hope it could be minor.
My opinion right now-
JV is done for the season. He probably has a significant injury. School not releasing anything as of yet isn't out of the norm; but if we don't hear anything specific later today or tomorrow morning - probably means we are trying to protect a seed line; as well as trying to protect JV stock. Doesn't looks or sound good to me.

Well if you believe Matt Jones. He said that UK has their own trainers, and Vanderbilt didn't go to hospital.. I would think if there was a break he would have been at the hospital. I heard it on radio can't link it
