Another Injury Could Benefit Utes
The Utes already caught one break when one of UW-Green Bay's best players missed the game last night. Now, it will catch another when it plays Mississippi at the Glenn Wilkes Classic on Friday.
Junior forward Eniel Polynice had knee surgery Tuesday -- the same day as UW-Green Bay’s Ryan Tillema, coincidentally -- and will miss the rest of the season. The Rebels already were without guard Trevor Gaskins, who also suffered a season-ending knee injury.
The injuries leave the Rebels with just five players -- all but one, underclassmen -- to play their three perimeter positions.
Polynice averaged 10.7 points last season and was “unquestionably our best perimeter defender," coach Andy Kennedy said. But the Rebels nevertheless improved to 2-0 with an 89-71 victory over South Alabama just hours after learning that was out for the season.
