Thank you young man for your service in destroying the Cheating Tarheels ....

Man you would think there would be some sort of invention of a strong light weight knee sleeve made by now that prevented knee injuries like these... just dreaming i guess. It was a terrible when it happened, I figured it was bad.

I feel bad for Auburn nation and the young man and his family.

UK has been in the same position multiple times over the years. We know all too well how this feels. It's a horrific situation.

I hope for a speedy recovery for the young man and a future in the NBA where he can make millions.

I think there needs to be something in the college game that compensates players when this happens, especially if they are going to be drafted. I have no idea how it could be structured, but it just seems wrong that something like that could jeopardize the rest of their lives and they not get anything out of it. Outside the education of course.

Best wishes to the young man for a speedy recovery. He really developed this year.

I knew it was bad by the way he was writhing in pain.

We all love March Madness and are die hard UK fans but I never want to see any kid get hurt even if it means it's easier for us to win.

Just an example of how fleeting sports is. This young man tore his ACL on a NON CONTACT play. Prayers up for him from the BBN.

Feel terrible for Chuma. He is a great kid off the court as well as a great player on it. To play that well...potentially 3 more games away from a national championship...and have that happen is just sickening.

He's got Dr. Andrews working on him so he's in good hands. Hopefully he recovers quickly and goes on a tear next season ending with a lottery pick in next year's draft. He's got that type of talent. WDE Chuma.

Hate it for this kid. Hope the surgery goes well and he resumes his basketball career as soon as he can. He’s a great player. Good luck and prayers.

They do have insurance policies

Pretty obvious that's what it was. Almost for certain with him walking off the floor. You can walk with a torn ACL but not with some other knee injuries.

My granddaughter had 2 of them costing her parts of 2 years. She walked off the floor with both of them.

I hate hearing these stories. The guy was phenomenal last night. Not sure if I can handle any more injury news in this tournament.

Y’all are a bunch of virtue signaling nerds. I hope their whole freakin starting 5 goes down. We’re trying to get to a final four!
