Wounded Spartans?

PrintFour of Coach Izzo's top six players have been hobbled with injuries. Forward Raymar Morgan has his foot in a boot to immobilize a sprained ankle. Forward Delvon Roe, who was recovering from knee surgery that ended his senior season in high school, recently suffered a concussion. Guard Korie Lucious sat out more than six months last year because of offseason foot surgery -- now, he's sprained the ankle on the same foot. Finally guard Chris Allen has been bothered by a groin injury.
When Michigan State meets Gonzaga, we should expect to see guards Lucious and Allen even if they aren't at 100%. Concern surrounding the status of the Michigan bigs appears to be substantial. No doubt we shall hear more about this pair in the near future.

Durrell Summers took a hard elbow to the eye in last night’s exhibition.
He returned to the game, so I expect he’ll play in Friday’s opener and next Tuesday against your team, but it could effect his game.

Wow
I had heard there were some injuries to the Spartans but I didn’t know of the severity. I’m kind of hoping they are at as close to 100% as possible. I just can’t wait for this game.

HUGE OPPORTUNITY!!!!!
With MSU a little beat up, this Gonzaga team has a chance to go into East Lansing and put a show on in front of the entire country. As I told Zach B last night…..Zags by 15
Final 4 or bust
A little more on the injuries
From today’s Detroit Free Press:
Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo said this afternoon that junior guard Chris Allen, sophomore forward Delvon Roe and junior guard Durrell Summers will be able to play in Friday’s season opener against Florida Gulf Coast.
…
Senior forward Raymar Morgan (ankle) will not play. Izzo said that he has been cleared to start shooting again, but he is questionable for MSU’s subsequent game, Tuesday against Gonzaga.
Raymar Morgan being out is really, really tough for the Spartans. I’d expect him to play against Gonzaga but he obviously won’t be at 100%.
