Dana Altman provides replace on N’Faly Dante’s knee harm earlier than Colorado sport
The Oregon Geese had a giant sport in opposition to the Colorado Buffaloes on Thursday night time; one during which they completely needed to win in the event that they wished to maintain any semblance of hope alive for the postseason.
Because the beginning lineups have been on the point of be introduced, there was some trigger for concern, although.
Oregon’s star participant, N’Faly Dante, had been scratched from the beginning lineup and changed by Quincy Guerrier. Those that have been watching the warmups might need seen Dante tweak his knee a bit bit and head into the locker room. He would ultimately emerge, sporting a knee brace, some ice, and a notable limp.
Dante wouldn’t play within the sport, and regardless of his absence, the Geese have been in a position to pull out a 75-69 win. After the competition, head coach Dana Altman provided an replace on the harm:
“He tweaked his knee throughout warmups,” Altman stated. “They’ll test him out tomorrow. Dante’s a troublesome younger man. If he can go, he’ll go. I don’t have any doubts about that.”
The Geese flip round and host the Utah Utes on Saturday night time in one other sport that Oregon must win in the event that they wish to maintain any at-large bids alive. Utah is close to the highest of the Pac-12 standings, so getting Dante again on the ground could be an enormous bonus for the Geese.
