Willis Hall Out for the Season

Swag

Amid uncertainty at the shooting guard and center positions, the Cougars were dealt another blow on Friday when Willis Hall suffered a torn ACL. He will not play this season.

The injury becomes the third season-ending loss to the Cougar team following Jeremy's blood clot late last season and Antwaine's identical injury prior to the 09-10 season. Not only does Hall's loss leave our front line awfully thin (Sundberg offering relief at center? Yikes), but it also robs this young Cougars team of an experienced veteran presence. With the loss of strong senior leadership from Drew, Jeremy and Donovan, the young guns will be looking to guys like Wiggins, Lawrence and even Wiedeman in times of unrest. Willis brought tenacity and hustle every time he got on the floor and will have to try and instill that mentality on the rest of the team while wearing a suit and riding the pine.
