Badger Hoops: Michael Flowers to take leave of absence

Reasons are apparently medical. I hope it's not another Mosezell Peterson, Latrell Fleming, or Dwayne White (football) situation. Either way it just looks like this isn't UW sports' year. I thought that even without the high expectations, the Badgers would have been a very good team this year, and still might be, but losing Flowers for any amount of time will hurt big time.

It was supposed to be his coming-out party too. I wish him well.

[hawing]

Well, that sounds potentially alarming. I hope he's all right.

Please take this basketball discussion to bucksbeat.net ... I kid, I kid. 99% of me is terrified of what this means for their season, but 1% of me is thinking UPSET BABY on December 22nd. (A guy can dream!)

Probably a good sign he will be back at some points soon. I'm guessing it's a family medical emergency and he will be back by late November but I could be wrong and he will be gone for a while. This team needs him to defend the other teams best guard, as J-Bo and Hughes are still young and probably will have trouble defending the best guards.

Valpo, got your tickets yet?

According to Madison.com, Flowers has returned to practice.

Good for him. Hope he (or whomever) is ok now.
