Out for season with torn ACL
Watson (knee) announced Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season.
ANALYSIS
There had been some optimism that Watson avoided any major ligament damage Monday, but an MRI confirmed that he did indeed suffer a torn ACL. The injury not only ends Watson's season, but also his Creighton career. Watson, who started every game of his collegiate career dating back to his freshman season at Boston University, was leading the nation with 8.5 assists per game this year. He was also efficient from the floor, shooting 50.8 percent on the year. Watson's injury may not just impact Creighton's chances at a deep tournament run in March, but it could also impact the entire landscape of the Big East. Isaiah Zierden, who played 31 minutes Monday after Watson exited the game, will likely see a significant role increase for the remainder of the season.
