This sucks for him and the team. Even when he does come back, it may take some time to reacclimate himself.

We are in trouble. I am a firm believer that you need a .500 record or better inside your conference. I'm sure the committee will give us credit if he comes back 100%, but we still need an even record inside the conference. Going to be tough without him.

Ouch. Poor kid, he was on his way to a record-setting season. And poor us, our best player is out for a large chunk of the season. Get well soon, Evan. Guys like Simmons and Buford are going to need to step up big time.

Those are my predictions and I see 4 losses, I think we will have a bad shooting game in there and could lose more, but we could also have a good shooting game and get an upset

Bad news for our Buckeyes..Get well soon Evan! He'll be back and healthy hopefully by the Big Ten tournament..Hopefully the team does well enough to secure a spot in the NCAA tourney which I think they can .

This sucks!

IMO, he was on his way to becoming the POY.

Buckeyes' fortunes turn with a thud
Turner out eight weeks after scary fall on back
Sunday, December 6, 2009

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

When the news came that X-rays on Evan Turner's back were negative, the mood lightened in the postgame interview.

"Big relief," said Jon Diebler, who shares an off-campus apartment with Turner, Ohio State's leader in scoring, rebounding and assists.

Asked if it had dawned on him during yesterday's 111-60 victory over Eastern Michigan that David Lighty's season-ending foot injury occurred in the seventh game last season -- Turner was hurt in the eighth -- Diebler laughed and said, "I never thought of that."

"Knock on wood," he quickly added.

Too late.

A couple of hours after coach Thad Matta said he was "pretty optimistic" that Turner would be OK, the 15th-ranked Buckeyes' season was turned upside down again.

Further tests at OSU Medical Center revealed a transverse process fracture on Turner's second and third lumbar vertebrae. He is expected to miss eight weeks, Vince O'Brien, the team's athletic trainer, said in a statement issued by the athletic department.

Turner was released from the hospital in the afternoon and was at home last night, the statement said.

"My primary concern right now is Evan's long-term health and well-being," Matta said in the statement. "Evan was, to this point in the season, the best player in college basketball.

"We have been through tough situations before, and our guys will regroup and prepare for the rest of our season starting with Butler (on Saturday) in Indianapolis."

Hey guys sorry to hear about Turner. Sounds like he will be back with still plenty of season to go. We know what it is like, losing our starting PG Lewis Jackson for the year (although admittedly Jackson is no Evan Turner). Hope he has a quick recovery because I like to see the B10 as strong as possible.
