Before going down with a season ending foot injury, the 7-foot-2 center averaged 21 points and 10 rebounds in his nine games played.

Unfortunately for Bol, all he can do is watch and wait as his Oregon team try to make it through a tough side of the bracket, hoping that his stock isn’t too affected by other standout players over the course of this next month.
