Unfortunate for Michael Bell, especially since he was gaining confidence each game. If its only 2 weeks missed practice and 4 weeks of missed games, thats not that bad.

I don't know much about mono, but I hear there are varying degrees of mono..... lets hope its the mild case.

He has not been well for awhile but tried to fight thru it.Never complains. Explains his efforts past several games with a tired body and weak legs. Needs to take care and get rest. He can't try to come back too early but if you know his work ethic he will do everything he can to get back. Even though his shooting has been inconsistant his floor game has been positive and productive. His strong track background will help him get through it. This is a big blow to him, he loves the game. Hopefully he can get back and give a spark to the team in the stretch run leading into the tournament.

I am remember when a certain indivivdual played six games for tot with two broken ribs when he returned a month later his spot was gone and he was not in game shape. The problem with TOT is he will get Comfortable with certain guys and just play them out of repetition. If Bell was having a hard time get playing time before getting sick TOT is going to bury him now. He is the type of kid that could open up a close game with long bombs and that is weapon. Wish him the best.

Iowa, sorry to hear about Michael's malady. As you can see from the name under which I post, my interests include more than just a dedication to hoops. You mentioned that Michael's track background would help him to overcome his problem. Serious track athletes are a disciplined lot and I know that he was very successful in this arena. Having two children who were collegiate runners, I know from past experience that training through injuries and sickness is a customary practice. Perhaps he is "guilty" of this. Sometimes such determination can be an athlete's undoing. Hope that Michael is back on the court soon.
