Hoops Housekeeping: Jacob Pullen's wrist????

Jacob Pullen: Last night, the Kansas State all-american and the catalyst for their resurgence to national relevancy took a hard fall on a drive to the rim, landing awkwardly on his right hand and wrist. He came out of the game grimacing in pain, but was almost immediately sent back in.

"I'll be all right," Pullen said after the game, although most reports say he was still in pain. Jeff Goodman tweeted late last night that Pullen would be getting x-rays today to determine if the wrist is broken or just sore.

Let's hope for all involved that it is not serious. Talk about a tortuous way to end a career. You spark a resurgence and then break a wrist? That would just be cruel.


Cleveland Melvin: I won't blame you if you don't know who Cleveland Melvin is. (Quick refresher: DePaul freshman, leads the team with 14.3 ppg, originally committed to UConn.) Well, Melvin -- who had a shot at winning the Big East freshman of the year award -- is not done for the year after tearing a ligament in his thumb.
