AO Is A-OK

PrintThe MRI results are in and it sounds like best-case scenerio has been acheived.
Arinze Onuaku had an MRI taken of his right knee this afternoon. It was determined, based on the MRI, that he has a right quadriceps injury. He has begun receiving treatment for the injury. His status is day-to-day. Arinze’s return to practice is anticipated on Monday.
WHEW.
Obviously this doesn't mean that AO won't be nagged by the injury but at least we won't have to consider the thought of playing without him altogether. If it's all the same, I'd still like to keep DaShonte limber...
The lesson learned? Mom's always right.
Update: Ryan Miller puts the fear of God back into us by saying "Syracuse fans relieved about Onuaku but another Cuse player had an MRI today. just sayin'." JUST SAYIN? YOU CAN JUST BE SAYIN STUFF LIKE THAT.

I don't
believe them. I’ll put it at that. Quadriceps injury?
Let’s see what they say after the seeds are announced.
I can't help but agree with the sentiment
That said, lets all hope that accuracy and honesty from the SU athletic department rules the day. And lets hope we can keep him mostly on the bench that first weekend.
As a Hoya
I still hope this is true. I can hate your program but will never wish injury on a kid.
I can have oodles of charm when I want to.
Kind of funny
Because I am thinking that Georgetown winning the BET would be acceptable.
I think it would be cool for our 8th seed to be ranked and win the BET. Take THAT Big 12.
Does this mean my hatred of G’Town is waning? I think so. JTIII just does not get under my skin.
I'm thinking it would look like this:
Orange t-shirt (naturally) with the word “QUADRICEPTUPLETS” in navy on the front. On the back, the jersey numbers of the seven man rotation.
Ooo yea that's hot.
If you can make it fit on the shirt, by all means, do it.
It’s uh lotta letterin’, but a compelling idea.

He's walking without crutches or a crazy brace...
and a smile on his face.
Hopefully he felt something tweak and just freaked out. I would be skeptical if not for that photo and the return to practice expected on Monday. That said, will he be 100%? Probably not. But if he can play 10-15 minutes? That’ll do. Really though, hopefully he doesn’t have to play at all next week in the first two rounds.
Agreed
We should be able to get by in the 1st round without him. In that case, I would love to see Riley get some solid minutes in the event that he needs to be out there in a big spot later on. Get him a solid burn and hopefully build up some confidence against lesser competition. For that matter, let’s get Mookie out there for some good minutes as well.

Lets not kid ourselves
He was limping on crutches with a definite knee brace to keep the join stable. This is not a quad injury. AO was clutching his knee not a quad. Have to admit its a clever move my the training staff.
i dont know
Injury over-reactions happen all the time, especially to someone who has experienced something similar before. I did that in high school, when I thought I had done the same damage to my right ankle as I did to my left the season before, only it turned out to only be a sprain this time around. The pain and fear of the end of the season might have caused AO’s reaction. That said, you might end up being right. But hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, you aren’t.
Yep - I've been there before.
When he heard that pop, he probably freaked. But hopefully it was just an overreaction. Cannot blame him.
Who else got an MRI is what I would like to know. KJo? Wes’s hand? John Wallace? (it doesn’t say current…just thinkin outside the box…)
Ridiculousness
I snuck home for lunch today to do my P90X workout (legs & back) and as I was doing the side lunges, coming up from my left side, I heard a tiny little “pop” in the center of my knee. I tried to keep going but it hurt, and kills when I try to stand up from sitting down or go up stairs, but otherwise it’s good.
I’m on AO’s wavelength and getting ready for the South Boston St. Patty’s Day Parade; I will participate and win even more than I usually do. Extrapolate this into AO’s world, and I think an NC is a lock.

it's too bad...
Manny Harris couldn’t be a team leader for the year like he was this afternoon. I was watching that game live this afternoon, and he was just incredible, you knew he was getting it every time and they still had no answer
also, this all but locks Turner in as the POY. I think he would have won it anyway, but voters love “those moments” that you can put your finger on as a game or tournament changing performance

It says something about this blog
that I came here first looking for AO news rather than to syracuse.com.
Happy to hear things are about as well as can be expected. However, as a Mets fan I am conditioned to take every positive diagnosis with a massive grain of salt, so we shall see what actually happens when the tourney rolls around. Hoping for a Friday-Sunday to give his knees that extra day off.

Does this mean no one else had an MRI
@NunesMagician Sorry, that tweet was premature. And you know Boeheim says premature anything isn’t very good!
as long as he can play...
we can ease him through the first game.. we’re in it.. we’re still in it :D
#21 - Get Well, AO

Hope KrisJo's knee is ok

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
They're discussing the AO situation on CBS right now with the committee chair
And yeah, injuries matter in terms of seeding.
So basically, keep all of the positive info coming until Sunday night at like 8pm.

It was Kris Jo
He’s fine though, he should be back at practice tomorrow
