Basketball: Robertson doubtful with foot injury

Just got word from a team spokesman that senior small forward Theo Robertson has a right foot injury and, according to coach Mike Montgomery, is doubtful to play tonight.
The ailment apparently has not been fully diagnosed, and was not considered even potentially an issue until Tuesday evening. Robertson practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday and skipped today’s walk-through practice.
I don’t know much more than that, except that if Robertson is held out of tonight’s game vs. Syracuse, it’s apparently more of a precautionary move to make certain the situation doesn’t worsen. It seems unlikely he would play Friday if he doesn’t go tonight.
The best guess is that sophomore Jorge Gutierrez would start if Robertson is held out. We’ll pass on more as soon as we have it.

My God -You’re kidding.
This is just sick.
Biggest two games of the season and no Theo or Harper?
Is it some kind of April Fools in November?
Well forget it then. I’m completely giving up.
There’s no fight in this Bear.
Okay, Scratch that.
Time to step up, DJ. Something tells me you’re the surprise awaiting the Orange.
Gut’s going to get into foul trouble and then we are going to have to have a running + dunking guard parade all over ‘em.
Okay, scratch that – that’s for another time.
Max – get in there. Just don’t make a bunch of silly fouls!
Oh, who am I kidding?
Omondi, you’re the one!

WOW, this hurts.

Major bummer. Theo for 3 was going to be a primary weapon. If we lose, it’s not a fair assessment. If we win, we’re freaking great.

That’s disappointing news. I think he would have done a great job guarding Harris on Syracuse. And we obviously miss Theo’s offense. Ugh. Bad timing for an injury on the national stage.
