Kendall Marshall is to undergo surgery this morning on his right wrist. They are inserting a screw to be sure the bone doesn't fracture anymore. This could be potentially devastating for the Tarheels. I hate to see any player get injured.
It's questionable on whether or not he'll be able to play. On the upside, it's his non-shooting wrist...however, he still has to be able to handle the ball with both hands for passing / catching and shooting.
I really hate this for the young man. Very unfortunate.

Just when the Heels looked like they were poised for a run to the final four, this happens. Marshall is the one player UNC can absolutely not afford to lose. I really hope that through some sort of miracle, he will find a way to play. I do think they can sneak by Ohio without him, but after that they are going to need him. Get well soon Kendall!!! REAL SOON!!!!

What is it with UNC point guards and injuries in the NCAAs? Phil Ford, Kenny Smith, Ty Lawson, Kendall Marshall - untimely injuries have cost the Heels more than one NT. This is a bummer.

At least with Ty, he was able to come back and win a NC. This couldn't be worst timing for Kendall to get injured. I hope he's able to come back and play, not sure what the early prognosis is after the surgery. |

I've watched the play where Marshall was injured over and over, and I can't figure out how the refs can let a game get that far out of hand. That wasn't the first dirty play that happened during the game. Creighton showed a complete lack of class, and it was obvious from the start that their philosophy was to play rough and dirty in order to knock players out of the game in hopes of having a small chance to win.

Yeah, that cheap shot on Zeller was absolutely ridiculous! How do you miss that!?

I loved Kbutter's tweet yesterday morning after surgery:
"Successful morning. I'm screwed."
LOL

Still wishing K-Butter a speedy recovery. Something tells me he may give the wrist a go on Friday night.
