OT: Bol Bol has a Boo-boo
Oregon’s top basketball recruit and player is out for the rest of the year with a foot injury. This puts the PAC 12’s best hope for a tournament team in serious jeopardy.

Well they automatically get one.
January 3rd, 2019 at 8:38 PM ^
Think Arizona State was considered their best chance considering they beat number one Kansas and was the only Pac 12 team ranked last week and is 26th this week in AP poll.
January 3rd, 2019 at 9:30 PM ^
What is this, math or science?
January 3rd, 2019 at 11:21 PM ^
It sure as hell isn't English.
January 3rd, 2019 at 10:11 PM ^
That’s becuase they upset Kansas and came back and lost to Princeton at home. Basketball is very unpredictable and even a national championship team will get upset by someone they don’t expect.
January 3rd, 2019 at 8:59 PM ^
It's called NBAitis.
January 3rd, 2019 at 9:04 PM ^
Pac-12 is garbage in the two big revenue sports.
January 3rd, 2019 at 9:48 PM ^
The answer? Move to an investor-based model; trade 'em on the big board.
January 3rd, 2019 at 11:21 PM ^
I've been shorting them for years
January 4th, 2019 at 12:07 PM ^
I think Duke and Kentucky kinda already do that. The board is just hidden.
January 3rd, 2019 at 9:05 PM ^
Our basketball crowd SUCKED tonight.
January 3rd, 2019 at 9:07 PM ^
Yeah but did you see all those bricks Penn State threw up? The university could build a bell tower with all of them.
January 3rd, 2019 at 9:41 PM ^
It's winter break...
January 3rd, 2019 at 10:13 PM ^
You’ve clearly never been to Crisler. That’s ok. Let me explain it. Over break students aren’t at the game. The students sit in the bleachers and in 8 other sections throughout the arena. They make the most noise. They weren’t all there. Hence the quiet. Wait for Indiana. That game will be rocking!!
January 4th, 2019 at 12:31 PM ^
Logged in to disagree. Crisler was packed, even the upper level, for a 7-6 Penn State team. The place was a graveyard 10 years ago for a game like this.
It may not have been a raucous crowd, but you know, 7-6 Penn State/winter break/etc.
January 3rd, 2019 at 9:17 PM ^
Feel bad for the guy, but there's a reason there are so few humans on Earth like him: bodies aren't really designed to look like that. Think how small feet are in comparison to the bodies of guys like Bol and Yao Ming
January 4th, 2019 at 7:14 AM ^
Is it that the body isn't designed to look like that or is it more that a body like that isn't designed for this type of activity long term?
January 3rd, 2019 at 9:49 PM ^
Probably the beginning of a never ending cycle of injuries.
Dudes legs are so fucking skinny and long. He looks like an alien
January 3rd, 2019 at 10:30 PM ^
Anyone remember the SI story about Manute trying to dunk for the first time and actually knocking out his front teeth on the rim?
That hurts to think about.
January 3rd, 2019 at 11:25 PM ^
Like that guy who hit the backboard trying to block a shot the other night.
Ouch!
January 3rd, 2019 at 11:38 PM ^
A kid i went to high school with was playing an after school pick up game in the gym. He went up for a dunk, threw it down and started jogging back down court. Turned around and saw everybody staring at the rim, where his index finger was hanging.
January 4th, 2019 at 1:38 AM ^
Poor Robin
January 4th, 2019 at 6:06 AM ^
You guys totally misunderstood. He was just giving you the finger.
January 4th, 2019 at 12:10 PM ^
Not nearly the same thing, but I grabbed the rim (can't quite dunk) in HS with my class ring on. The ring caught the rim and sliced the inside of my finger wide open. Still have the scar.
January 3rd, 2019 at 9:55 PM ^
What I found interesting is that the announcement was made by his attorney. I didn’t have an attorney at age 19. Heck, I’m 48 and I still don’t have an attorney.
January 3rd, 2019 at 10:08 PM ^
Whenever I see movies and they say "call my lawyer" I always wonder if I am the only one without a lawyer
January 3rd, 2019 at 10:17 PM ^
I've got an excellent attorney. Please let me know if you need a referral.
January 3rd, 2019 at 10:46 PM ^
You don't want an attorney. It means you need an attorney for something. It also means you're paying for an attorney.
I have an attorney. She has a LOT of my money. She sent me Christmas cookies, which was nice. Until I realized that she could have sent me a gold plated Michigan helmet and still put her kids through college from what I've paid her. I eat a lot of ramen noodles for this very reason.
And no, you CANNOT talk to my attorney. You know how much they charge for that??
January 4th, 2019 at 6:25 AM ^
what if oprah came around and did one of her famous, "you get an attorney! and you get an attorney! and everybody's getting an attorney!!', would you want one then?
January 3rd, 2019 at 11:25 PM ^
Want one? I know a guy.
January 3rd, 2019 at 10:22 PM ^
Now that is a quality title.
January 4th, 2019 at 10:03 AM ^
Anyone speak Swahili? I don't, but one day I ran Bol Bol's name through Google translate. You're welcome.
January 4th, 2019 at 12:05 PM ^
I just ran it and it showed the english translation as "bol bol". Did I miss something?
January 4th, 2019 at 12:24 PM ^
Ah, Sudanese not Swahili! He's from the Sudan.
January 4th, 2019 at 10:05 AM ^
ok....Thanks
January 4th, 2019 at 12:03 PM ^
Always hate to see a kid get injured and I feel bad for him. I'm sure he will recover and have a pro career, but the FBI investigation kinda pointed at Oregon as being kinda on the high end of the crooked curve. With them being Nike U it's kinda obvious, so good for them. I hope they lose 15 games.
January 4th, 2019 at 12:56 PM ^
The PAC12 is now officially as unwatchable as Walton is unlistenable.
January 4th, 2019 at 7:05 PM ^
Man that sucks, a foot injury seems to always be game over for seven-footers.
