Good lord. I don't recall all of these injuries. Just ours with Cal, but those were not real.
Wondering if the physical nature on both ends of the floor is taking a toll.

Someone else mentioned it could have to do with so many players getting into their 5th and 6th seasons. Could make sense, both from a bodies breaking down, and men playing against kids standpoint.

Would love to see some hard data on whether injuries are really on the rise or if just feels that way.

Injuries are part of the game and no two bodies are created equally. If you're good enough to get to the association, you're already playing more than twice as many games in one season than you would two college seasons. Some are just lucky with the lack of injuries. Some are just hamstrung by them.

Related reading. I referenced this article in another thread but couldn’t remember the details. I was able to dig it back up. Julius Randle makes a cameo appearance.

This is what happens to your conference when you play rugby...

Bit of karma. I hope UF puts Ewetee in the grave tomorrow.
I so want to see UT win and beat UF 2 out of three times, and still see florida get the 1 seed out west and the Vols get a 2 seed, opposite 1)dUKe. lol
