I thought this post on phog.net was pretty funny...

"My ankles sound like a pack of black cats every time I get off the couch."

Pussy? I know you were probably joking, but let me tell you that is a very painful injury.

At this point it's ankle day to day.


He's gonna be in the facility getting round the clock treatment I'd imagine.

Postgame Press Conf: Elijah on Ben "He's alright, think he panicked more than anything. Ben will bounce back, I'm sure." #kubball

I rolled my ankle pretty bad about 2 or 3 years ago. Thought I had heard a pop. I thought for sure I broke it. Xray showed no break. Just a bad sprain. I was on crutches for a couple weeks or so before I could attempt to get back onto the basketball court. Wore an ankle splint that allowed me to hoop but also gave the ankle good support.

@captainoverreaction Ben Mclemore dead of complications due to an ankle injury.

Good thing you're a wussy.

And not Super Ben.

:)

No shit. He'll be back high flying Saturday against Texas.

I still think KU will be more than okay without him Saturday.

I went from elation... to OH SHIT! In like 10 seconds...

Hope BMac is back on Saturday...

Postgame Press Conf w/ @coachbillself: On Ben "I think he's fine, he twisted his ankle." Hopeful he won't be out more than 2-3 days.

Thomas Robinson had a sick alley oop on Sportscenter's Top 10.

Can't find a link yet though.

Now I can sleep. #kubball RT“@GaryBedore: Self said it is Grade one sprain. Day to day on Ben. Hes been evaluated. So it's a sprain”

Rock chalk! Praying Ben's ankle is alright.

Man, Baylor is not good. They had the talent to whop the shit out of us as poorly as we shot.

We played really solid defense, but seriously. They should have pounded us pretty good as poorly as we shot.

I enjoy laughing at Percy Jackson. End.

Hope BMac is OK. RE: "Pop" Every time I've sprained my ankle more than just a little tweak it has popped very noticeably. Must be his first one though because he didn't look like he had any support or tape there. I don't know how a kid can make it 2 years out of highschool without rolling one.

The thing I noticed about McLemore is that he is naturally fast. I kept thinking he was looking lackadaisical guarding Heslip, like he didn't give a shit and wasn't trying, but he'd beat him to the spot every time. Dude is other-worldly good. Just wild.

I liked what Young was doing in there save missing bunnies. He continues to make me eat crow. Good on him.

That flagrant BS is so goddamn horse shit. God that pisses me the **** off. They don't call a ****ing body on the D, even though he was riding Releford like the Donks rode a used up Manning, He can't go low or the defender will hack like crazy, which won't be called. Releford barely touched him with 0 ****ing malice. Boop Flagrant. The glorious thing was they missed both the freethrows and didn't make the basket on the posession. Either way, ****ing horseshit rule. If you're going to try to ride him off the ball, get your face out of the way.
