NEW YORK –– Syracuse may have lost more than a basketball game on Thursday.
Senior center Arinze Onuaku fell to the floor with a right knee injury with five minutes, seven seconds remaining in the game and left the arena on crutches after No. 8-seeded Georgetown upset top seed Syracuse, 91-84, in the Big East tournament quarterfinals at Madison Square Garden.
“We’re hoping it’s just a strain, but tomorrow we’ll get an MRI — It’s already scheduled,” Dr. Irving Raphael, the Syracuse team physician, said in a hallway after the game. “I expect him to play unless there’s a surprise. But we’ll get the MRI, treat what we get and then you’ll all know as soon as I know.”

for syracuse’s sake, i hope he is ok. If he is out for the tourney they are in deep trouble. Syracuse doesnt have the depth to make up for his loss.

Its ” Onuaku” MilesCat, lol Get Well Arinze hate this part of the game but If It was going to happen I’d rather see It In the Big East Tourney than the NCAA’s.
