Meeks

Hopefully the knee injury is mild and Kennedy can get healed up for the Sweet 16. If the Heels end up drawing Wisconsin, they are going to need him 100% ready to battle Kaminsky!

Hopefully it is mild right? Different degrees of sprain, hopefully he is alright.

Tar Heel Radio Network said the official word was a knee sprain.
Let's hope the big fella is ready for the Sweet 16.

our luck that he would get hurt like that. Hell the way we were playing with out him I would have left him on the bench. I do hope he is ready though for the sweet 16. Great win.

Hopefully so. Did they happen to mention whether they would perform an MRI/X-Ray on it tomorrow?

I was afraid of a casualty in that game. It was so fast and physical. When I saw his leg bend inward I cringed.

I hope he's okay. I hope they don't take any risk on him either. No need to risk a possible tear.

Guess he said "it popped" when the trainer first got to him.

We need Meeks just don't have the depth without him.

What is your source SJung???? "It Popped" is NEVER a good thing with a knee!!!!

Did Meeks come back in the game after the injury? I missed part of the game, but I was told he played a bit afterwards.....I just hope it isn't serious.

You could read Meeks lips saying it popped while he was on the floor.

Thanks SJung, not that I don't believe you, it is just a shock.

Meeks after the game in a left knee brace... Couldn't really participate in postgame celebration. Cool video still.

Really hope meeks can play next week, we are going to really need him and especially if we end up playing whisky, which I expect. We are going to need his strength and bulk vs a whisky team that will want to play more half court than what Arky wanted to do last night. I really hope Theo's foot is OK because we are IMO going to need him defensively as well. I am not as worred about kaminski as I am the rest of his mates, don't give them clean outisde looks and contain Decker and we can take whisky, kaminsky can not beat you by himself, don't care how many times he wants to fire it from the 3pt arch.

I found this on Inside Carolina. It shows a slow-mo of the collision.

OUCH!
