B137 is correct. Weathespoon did hurt himself over the weekend and is out for the season. The injury, we are told, “will require surgery” and occurred late in the 89-68 win against Boise State on Friday in a game the sophomore All-SEC guard scored a career-high 25 points. Yet, the team responded with a “W” over UTEP two days later on Sunday. In that game, the Box Score shows an apparently hurt (?) Weatherspoon netting 9 on 2 for 9 shooting while pulling down 3 boards. Yes, the 6’4” sophomore was their leading scorer, 2nd in boards, and quite a player, but like many other teams we’ll face this year (even ourselves….with JC stepping in for KR), good teams find a way to win. Mississippi State runs an 11-man roster with 9 seeing double-digit minutes and I’m sure with four days rest they’ll be more than ready – albeit a man short – to take down that team from up north that almost beat Xavier.
