When Cincinnati Bearcats senior wing Shaq Thomas went down early in the second half during their win over UConn on Thursday night, UC fans watching this game collectively held their breath. By the looks of it, the way he collapsed to the floor in agony, it looked like he shattered everything from his pinky toe to his hip.
At the time I didn’t want to go into great detail about what happened. I wanted to focus more on the game itself and wait to comment further on Shaq with more information inevitably forthcoming. And more information is what we have.
