Thought he needed some vibes.

In Coach K's news conference he said it was the knee but not his ACL. And it's a serious injury.

Get better soon Lance!!

It looked like a dislocated patella or something along those lines...not good.

Vibes to Lance for a quick recovery. I think if he had been in the game for the second half, with his defense, it would have been well in hand before the 3 minute mark.

Me too!!!! Heal fast, big guy. And good luck to Mason as he steps in to fill the void.
Bless all those big, blue hearts!

Haven't heard anything definitive but Coach Collins was on 620 this morning and said it's unlikely Lance will miss an extended period of time.

That sounds hopeful...keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm cool with this. I'd worry a lot more if we weren't at home this weekend, and I know we'll definitely miss him, but I'm looking forward to seeing the other bigs (especially Mason) and how they respond to a move from the frying pan of the Nose Dome to the fire of Saturday's tilt against the other league frontrunner.

I agree. Mason and Miles also seem to play so much better when in the line up together. Kelly should get more PT, and we may even see Singler slide to the 4 some with Nolan, Andre and Jon in the backcourt

I dunno..K said with LT out, expect to see more of Andre on the court, playing 3 guards and moving Kyle.

I saw this on WRAL's website too and initially took it as good news overall. Am I right? Is there a doctor in the house? DukePA? A bone bruise, while serious, I would think can heal before tournament time???? I'm guessing.

Too bad that he'll probably miss a game, but much better than I had feared. I was a bit worried about a fractured patella, which would have been a season-ender.

Depends on the severity and where it is. From my understanding, it's MOSTLY, but not all, a pain management issue. I've had a few bone bruises in my day, and I usually played with them, but I never had a crack Duke medical staff advising me, so if I had, I might not have played with them. ;)
