IU coach Tom Crean, Maurice Creek, and Matt Roth spoke earlier today about Creek's injury and their upcoming matchup against Wisconsin.
You can listen to the full audio here.
A few highlights:
- Creek will receive surgery for the injured right patella on Thursday and then begin the rehabilitation process.
- Creek said he "heard a pop" in his right knee as he was back cutting for the long pass he received from the baseline against Michigan. He said he felt fine moments later (which is why he was able to go back into the game) but swelling occured the next day.
- Crean said he hopes the NCAA grants him an extra year of eligibility because of the injury.
- Crean also said with Creek's absence, other players such as Matt Roth, Victor Oladipo and Will Sheehey should expect to see more time on the floor.
