Uh-Oh!

Rutgers R.small

Injuries are taking their toll on the Scarlet Knights.

Rutgers’ freshman forward JR Inman fractured his right fibula in the first hallf against Seton Hall on Sunday. He’s going to be sidelined for 4-6 weeks which means the season. Inman was the top shot-blocker among the Big East freshman and the Scarlet Knights’ second leading scorer in Big East play. With junior forward Adrian Hill also sidelined after arthroscopic surgery on his knee, Rutgers will be going into tonight’s game against Notre Dame—and the rest of the season—without two much needed big men.

Junior Byron Joynes, senior Jimmie Inglis and sophomore Ollie Bailey will have to pick up the slack. Junior Frank Russell (6-11) and sophomore Dan Waterstradt (6-11) are sure to get more playing time. It might be time to give 6-10 freshman Zack Gibson more time, too.
