Looks like IU's James Blackmon out for the season

[CanadaHawk]

James Blackmon is having surgery on the other knee from the one he injured last year and is likely out for the season. Tough break for the kid. Hope he can come back.

"He is third in the league in 3-point field goals made per game (2.8) and seventh in 3-point field goal percentage (46.3). In his two seasons with the Hoosiers, IU is 21-0 anytime he shoots 47.0 percent or higher from the field.

A final determination of his status could be known as early as later today (Jan. 5), but it is expected that he will not play again this season."

Hate to see any player injured.

Yes....it hurts, it hurts to not have Dale Jones playing too. Felt like he was making his move before he got hurt and would really like to see him playing tonight. Talented BB players.

It does hurt any team to lose a quality player. In Indiana's case I'd be concerned as to how long it will take Crean to adjust. A week? A month?

Blackmon was out in IU's recent game with NE. They appear to have adjusted their scoring by going more inside to Thomas Bryant.

O.G. Anunoby is picking up a big part of his playing time ... and producing. I think he's 7of 9 from behind the arc with Blackmon out.

You gotta believe Crean will blow the B1G season one way or other. Losing Blackmon is good start. We'lll see about OG
