A Bad Break Or Tear

My beloved Boilers took it on the chin even thogh they won their game against Minnesota.  They retained their first place standing in the Big Ten but the win came at a significant cost.

The star forward, Robbie Hummel tore his ACL and is gone for the season.  When they lost him last season with a back injury, they went 1 - 3 with 8 fewer points per game.  This is a different season and hopefully the extra year together will give the Boilers the opportunity for someone else to step up and fill in the gap. 

At least they have several gamers before the NCAA Tournament to work things out.

Hang in their Boilers, we're all pulling for you even if The Sporting News is already predicting the worst.

Lastly, it comes as no coincidence that the Boilers lose Hummel on the same day GM loses Hummer.
