Roundball chatter: Creighton is hurting without Maurice Watson Jr.

Each week, I'll write about the sport I love: college basketball:

  • Creighton lost guard Maurice Watson Jr. for the rest of the season to a torn ACL. Watson was leading the nation in assists (8.5 per game), and his absence is a major blow to a Creighton team which was in the top 10 when he got hurt.

  • Indiana lost forward OG Anunoby for the rest of the season to a knee injury. That is a blow to Tom Crean's team, which loved Anonoby's toughness.

  • Louisville suffered a blow when junior guard Quentin Snider was sidelined for two to three weeks with a strained hip flexor.
