Looks like everyone that wanted to bench Mar got their wish.
I feel for him, sucks to have his season cut short. Hope for a speedy recovery.

Wow...regardless of how his season has gone - this is a big blow. Guessing JDS will be getting a lot more PT.

Terrible news. His length and defensive prowless have been key in the last 6 games or so. Hope he recovers well.

Next man up.

Looks like they may have to play 4 guards plus AJ/Reuter more often. More minutes for Boyd potentially as well as some minutes open up for JDS and Hartwell

Despite Mar’s struggles on offense this year, he’s been giving it his all on the defensive end. Big loss for the team. Wishing him a full and speedy recovery. A collective group of guys, and the team in general, will have to step up and play hard, play together to overcome this loss.

 

[JimP]

More time for Boyd too, but GMU's depth takes a big hit.

This sucks for Gonar and our team. Depth and experience were supposed to be two of our strengths this year, but now we are down two starters with Grayer and Mar presumably done for the year. I hope the NCAA will allow both players to redshirt for the year.

Rather than Boyd or JDS starting, I would think that AJ would pick up most of Mar's minutes at the 4 given his length defensively and ability to stretch the floor offensively.

Have no doubt that Mar will come back stronger from this. Looking forward to seeing him next season. With that being said... it’s AJ Wilson time.

Sucks that Otis will not have gone to one tournament during his time here.

Too far into the season for a redshirt?

Yeah, but after the season, the school could appeal to the NCAA and see what results.

Sounds like it.
Medical Hardship Requirements
To be eligible for a medical hardship waiver, a student-athlete has to meet the following criteria:

• The student-athlete must suffer the injury during one of their four seasons of college competition or during the senior year of high school.

I blame the Adidas shoes.

 

[Quentin Daniels]

Crap.

Wow what a complete wasted opportunity to run over a shitty A-10 this year. Oh well next will be good with our one-star recruits coming in right?

Looking forward to AJ and Boyd giving us a boost offensively while maintaining Mar's defense.

No star Justin Kier outplayed 4 star Kellen Grady...

Exactly. AJ, Greg, and Reuter will be taking all of the 4/5 minutes moving forward. I'd start Greg and Aj.

If one of them gets in serious foul trouble Coach will probably put Boyd at the 4.

Boyd is the first guard off the bench. Hartwell will continue to get minutes regardless.

We will be fine. Next man up

I’d expect to see a ton of 4-guard lineups with Boyd at the “4”. That’s where he played down the stretch against Davidson.
