luke richardson missed 17 games (28ish days) when he broke his jaw. he had to have surgery as his was flat out shattered. luke was unable to eat or drink for 20 days and as of the start of the olympic break couldnt eat "solid" foods like sandwiches. granted thats hockey...jwinslow said:

MSU not having Trannon is a huge loss for them. He is excellent underneath and gives them another athlete on the court.

I see that he had his best day of the year with 11 rebounds against us.
Maybe given the Al Neri sleeps with fishes thread, there's an alternative explanation. I mean like, God forbid, it's early in the morning, he goes into the bathroom like any other day, and he gets almost whacked by a runaway electric toothbrush. I mean, these things, they happen.

It is very possible that the league could end up with 3-4 teams sharing the title. There is a lot of basketball to be played yet.

Michigan State will be without Trannon when Buckeyes visit

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
</IMG> AL GOLDIS | ASSOCIATED PRESS Matt Trannon of Michigan State holds his face after a collision that broke his jaw during a game Saturday against Michigan.
Now it becomes a matter of whether Matt Sylvester can move.
Ohio State men’s basketball coach Thad Matta might have gained an advantage yesterday in the chess match he will wage with counterpart Tom Izzo at Michigan State on Wednesday night when it was announced that Spartans power forward Matt Trannon is out indefinitely because of a broken jaw. Trannon was injured in a collision Saturday against Michigan.
"We’re not the most physical team and he brings a little physicality to us," Izzo said of the 6-foot-6 senior, who also is a receiver on the football team.
"But maybe more important, he’s a versatile guy who can guard guards on the perimeter and he can guard big guys inside. We just don’t have many of those kind of players who are quick enough to do that like Alan Anderson did (last season)."
Trannon’s athleticism made a difference in Michigan State’s double-overtime victory over Ohio State in January in Columbus. He not only had 14 points and 11 rebounds but enabled the Spartans’ defense to switch on screens at four positions because of his ability to defend guards, Izzo said after the game.
"That’s a luxury we have with Trannon in there that we don’t have with him not in there," Izzo said at the time. "That was, I think a big key . . . because that’s how they get a lot of their open threes."
The Buckeyes shot 32.9 percent from the field in that game, their lowest in Matta’s two seasons as coach, and 24.1 percent from outside the arc.
They shot 37 percent from the field Saturday in a win over Northwestern that came with Sylvester out of the lineup because of tightness in his lower back that has bothered him off and on for a month. Matta said yesterday that Sylvester’s status is uncertain.
"I think things are moving in the right direction . . . but I think at this stage, it is a day-by-day type of scenario," Matta said. "Hopefully, we can get him back . . . but by the same token, I know how the back is, and unfortunately for him, he has a bad back."
Sylvester had 17 points and four of Ohio State’s seven three-point baskets in the last game against Michigan State.
