O'Neil Hurt in First Game of the Season

Calvin O'Neil was injured in the second half and did not return. A MRI will be done on his right knee Friday to determine the severity of the injury.

"Calvin is one of the toughest kids I've ever coached and he couldn't put any pressure on it," Davis said. "It doesn't look good but we will wait and see what the results of the MRI are."

Head Coach Kermit Davis:
On Junior guard Calvin O'Neil second-half injury: "He is the heart and soul of our team. It is too bad for him because he has been playing so well. He is one of the toughest guys I've ever coached."

Junior Guard Demetrius Green:
On taking over for Calvin O'Neil and finding rhythm: "I had to step up. Calvin is big - he is one of the best players on our team. We really miss him when he's out. I had to step up and fill in for him and for what he does."
