Okeke torn ACL

[EmCats3]

Hate to see that for the kid. Prayers up for him and hopefully he has a good recovery. Best player on the floor yesterday

 

[UKWildcatT]

Well that sucks. He was really playing great. Tough loss

 

[John Henry]

Tough and the BBN wishes him a successful surgery and future

 

[o_Ricky]

Best of luck to him, that really sucks. Happens when he's on the doorstep of the elite 8 and that'll derail most of the next season for him too.

 

[akaukswoosh]

Tough break. We’ve had several over the years and I keep my fingers crossed we stay healthy after missing two players temporarily this season.

 

[Cawood86_rivals]

Really tough for the kid and Auburn. Hopefully he has a full recovery.

 

[dynastydreamuk]

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.

 

[irishcat1965]

Terrible news. I hope he makes a full recovery and has an outstanding season next year.

 

[billoliver40]

Hope for a full recovery for the young guy

 

[Wildcatfan66]

Speedy recovery and prayers for a full recovery.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

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.

 

[MNantz]

Just awful news for the young man, he was really making a name for himself last night, wish him a full and speedy recovery

 

[RoyKent]

Never ever like to hear news like this. He was playing so well.

Best wishes for a successful and speedy recovery.

 

[Harrelson55]

I don't care if its Tennessee,Duke,Indiana, Louisville. You never want to see this.

Hope that kid makes a full recovery and can make the draft at some point.

 

[blubo]

Bruce talking about it on cbs sports tv. surgery tuesday. bummer.

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

Hate to see that for the kid. Prayers up for him and hopefully he has a good recovery. Best player on the floor yesterday

Tragic, happening right at the end of the season will likely cost him all of next season as well.

 

[TomTraubertsBlues]

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.

 

[MegaBlue05]

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.

 

[TBCat]

Ugh. That sucks. Sadly that was what I was expecting to hear.

 

[kybassfan]

Very bad break for their player. I would much prefer to play Auburn at full strength.

 

[seccats04]

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.

 

[ukfan041]

Feel horrible for the kid! Get well soon

 

[jcmc225]

All you people who ‘liked’ that are disgraceful..... just kidding i know you dont mean it like that. Sorry to hear but hope we spank that *** into next week

 

[anon_9qtxg60vqzy0y]

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.

 

[wromanp7]

I don't care if its Tennessee,Duke,Indiana, Louisville. You never want to see this.

Hope that kid makes a full recovery and can make the draft at some point.

Can I wish it on K, though?

 

[J_Dee]

Here's hoping for a fast, full recovery.

 

[jaknfo90]

You knew it was bad when they showed the replay, hate to see any player hurt.

 

[jaknfo90]

Can I wish it on K, though?

Absolutely, no problem here!

 

[AuburnAlumni]

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.

 

[UK2287]

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

 

[Nooneputsbabyinacorner]

What year is he?

 

[Harvey Specter]

What year is he?

True soph

 

[anon_013cn8yrfncx2]

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.

 

[Borotiger_rivals131071]

What year is he?

He's a Sophomore and a really good kid.

It's a huge loss for us but the team will fight hard. They may not win, but they will fight hard.

Here's to a great game tomorrow.

 

[Orange Soda King]

What year is he?

I think he’s a sophomore.

Crushing injury. All the best to him for a quick recovery.

 

[Moss04]

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

 

[BoulderCat_rivals187983]

Sorry Charles, with what he did to UNC Okeke is now my all time favorite Auburn player. Here’s to a full and speedy recovery.

 

[whack0001]

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!

 

[BlueBloodKyFan73]

This sucks kid was playing phenomenal ball.
