It was his Patellar tendon


Lowery has surgery for tendon tear
By Doug Harris | Thursday, February 12, 2009, 04:28 PM

Dayton junior point guard Rob Lowery had surgery this afternoon for a torn patellar tendon in his right knee, ending his season with the Flyers.

“The good news for Rob is there was no other structural damage,” coach Brian Gregory said. “You worry about other things going wrong in there as well, and right now, it just looks like the patellar tendon.”

We were talking about Hill and Warren playing one on one.

Oh yeah...that would be brutal to watch.

However, it would be fun watching them defend one another :)

You can say that every year.

Missouri Valley and CAA are one bid leagues for the second year in a row. Sun Belt won't be getting two this year. If things break right in the conference tourney's I think we could see a new low in non-BCS at large bids.

coach's still have Dayton outside of the top 25. But the AP has Dayton at #25. To have Utah State ranked, and Dayton not ranked, as the Coach's do, is kind of silly to me. Utah State hasn't played a top 25 team all year...and still has 2 losses.

Just my opinion, but the ESPiN/USA Today poll, consistently ranks west coast teams higher than the AP poll.
Don't know which poll is more accurate, but it has been a pattern throughout the season.

I wonder if the flyin Flyers would like a little piece of the:osu: and we aren't even rated:)

It really depends on which UD teams shows up and which Ohio State team shows up.

If it's a game of each teams best, then that would be very interesting. Our lack of consistent ball handlers would make UD a very difficult team to play. Ohio State has a better top four or five players and, IMO, a much better coach. UD goes very deep on their bench and is always on the attack. They are a better rebounding team than we are right now, and could very well wear us out with their offensive and defensive pressure by the end of the game.

Right now, I think that UD is the hotter team, and Ohio State is the more talented team. Pretty close matchup that I think the UD players would care about more than the tOSU players would. No idea who would win.

Officially a ruptured patellar tendon for Rob Lowery... Not sure about the prognosis for next year, but I'd say it takes him at least 12-14 weeks to get back to full-go...

Looks like I was plenty on top of it seeing as how my post was 24 hours before yours...

Not a chance... UD by 10+ at the arena, by 3-4 on a neutral... I think OSU by 6-8 at VCA... We'd put a lot of pressure on your ball handlers all night... Defense and rebounding have been our strong suit all year, and teams that are tough in those areas have given tOSU fits...
I'm not sure what tOSU does well enough to beat us by 10+...

This is overly optimistic with respect to Dayton. I think if the two teams played again this year, the result would be very similar to the NIT game last year--close for a half, with OSU taking advantage of its size down low in the second half and running away with it to the tune of a 10-20 point victory. Turner would have an absolute field day, as I haven't seen a Dayton player who could come close to stopping him when he has the ball. I'd also expect Lauderdale to have the success against Dayton that he enjoyed earlier in the season against smaller teams.

Not a chance... UD by 10+ at the arena,

Just another quick observation--UD has struggled in home games with far, far lesser opponents than OSU:

Wofford -- won by 2
George Mason -- won by 4
Miami (OH) -- won by 5
Fordham -- won by 1
St. Louis -- won by 1
Richmond -- won by 6

I see no justification, based on UD's past performance at home this season, for the proposition that UD would beat OSU in Dayton by 10+ points.

We have a very outstanding post presence that Dayton would not be able to handle. A 20 point victory anywhere would not be out of the question
