UNT guard out six weeks with tendon injury

11:54 PM CST on Friday, November 17, 2006

By BRETT VITO / Denton Record-Chronicle

DENTON – Senior guard Kendrick Davis is out for 6-7 weeks with a partially torn flexor tendon in the wrist of his left (shooting) hand. Davis had surgery on Thursday to repair the tear he suffered while breaking the window of a hallway door in the Super Pit following a last-second loss to UT-Arlington on Wednesday.

We will severely miss K.D. I hope he can take a medical red shirt and play next year (NT's dream team!). However, we absolutely have the talent to continue winning games. We have a deep bench, and Sturns, especially, will have to step up as a team player/scorer.

I agree. Losing Davis hurts really, really bad. However, this team is deep and losing Davis can't be an excuse for not having a good season still. We will finally get to see what Sturns can do with extended minutes every night. Watson will need to step up his offensive production, and that doesn't mean he just needs to jack a few more 3s every game. Also, might we see Mangrum step into a consistent supporting role?

Another issue that needs noting is how Sturns serves as a reserve PG sometimes. If he is getting more minutes at the 2, will Bell be able to handle the extended minutes? That is one thing we could count on the last two seasons with Hines, he would play almost the entire game.

Sounds like he was as pissed as the rest of us. Unfortunate result, but I like the passion to win!

He definitely won't redshirt though. If he comes back on schedule, the team will still have 10-15 games left. I don't know about you, but I would rather see him in the lineup if there is anything to play for.

Why have him for only 10 games + the 3 he played.

This injury is tough to come back from. REDSHIRT him.

Bring him back next season. There's enough talent to win on the team right now.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.

      It's easier for us to say it's fun since we're not the ones who have to recruit an entire new team every year, but it's honestly exciting to see how the new team is built. The max exodi of beloved players sucks, but in this new age losing guys like TP, Drez, Rubin and Aaron doesn't have to mean a several-year rebuild. Now we can "retool" and even get better. I think this year was more of a gut punch because it felt to me and many others that Rubin and Aaron were Mean Green for life. They've been the constant leaders throughout the past turnover. But even healthy we weren't the most talented team in the conference. And I trust Hodge. The past seven years Grant and Hodge have run a clean program and as much as I love the guys who have played for us, I trust Hodge and Forte will continue recruiting players who will be good representatives of the university, even if only for a year. I also agree we need two more PF's - at least one who can space the floor shooting 3's. Assuming we have at least three scholarships left, so assume we'll see another guard. I'd like to see us bring on one guy who's averaged 18PPG or more. Doesn't matter which position though it'd be a nice changeup for it to be a high scoring big man.

      The last home games of the 2023-24 school year

      Weather has become a factor in a lot of games this season. Wet spring has really made this softball season pleasant. Feel like we had several 90+ degree games last season.

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Here's what the conference tournament would look like if it started today. Finished 2nd or 3rd is the difference between having to win just two games in two days, or four games in four days. Wednesday, May 8 - First Round Game 1: No. 5 Wichita State vs No. 8 South Florida - 10 a.m. (ESPN+) Game 2: No. 4 Tulsa vs No. 9 UTSA - 1 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 3: No. 6 UAB vs No. 7 East Carolina - 4 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 4: No. 10 Memphis vs No. 3 North Texas - 7 p.m. (ESPN+) Thursday, May 9 - Second Round Game 5: Winner WSU/USF vs Winner Tulsa/UTSA - 12 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 6: Winner UAB/ECU vs Winner Memphis/UNT - 2:30 p.m. (ESPN+) Friday, May 10 - Semifinals Game 7: Winner WSU/USF/Tulsa/UTSA vs No. 1 FAU - 12 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 8: Winner UAB/ECU/Memphis/UNT vs No. 2 Charlotte - 2:30 p.m. (ESPN+) Saturday, May 11 - Championship Game 9: Winner Game 7 vs Winner Game 8 - 11 a.m. (ESPN2)

      Yes, win 2 of 3 in Charlotte and should be at least Top 2. If we do that and there's a three-way tie for first at 19-8, I'd imagine we'd take the top spot because we'd be 4-2 vs. the field, FAU 3-3, and Charlotte 2-4 in that hypothetical. Thanks! Wasn't able to watch that game, just kept up on Twitter.
