ORLANDO, Fla. — In the opening moments of the Colonial Athletic Association championship game last week, College of Charleston guard Ryan Larson was chasing a loose ball and violently crashed into UNC Wilmington's Shykeim Phillips. Larson crumbled to the floor, holding his elbow.
"It was a major collision," Charleston coach Pat Kelsey said. "I know his elbow has given him problems the majority of the year. I could tell. I was like, 'Uh, oh.' But he's got so much grit and toughness and tenacity, like you'd have to saw his arm off to get him out.
"And then he'd probably still play."
