Read that Owings has a stress fracture. Columbia frosh Baumann is recovering from one, and Kravic had one last spring. I've never heard of so many stress fractures in basketball, or is this just a strange coincidence?

Actually in recent years, there have been several stress fractures among Ivy players. From a Penn standpoint, I recall both Duane King, Adam Chubb, and Andy Toole (I think that's what the injury was) dealing with stress fractures. I know that several other Princeton players have dealt with them in recent years as well. I think this is a somewhat common basketball injury these days, and it makes sense being that all the jumping and running these guys are doing.

Princeton had a larger number of stress fractures before they replaced the floor at Jadwin two years ago...

The NY Times' Science Times section today (12/7) had a short piece on stress fractures in the feet of athletes. According to a study on 26 top college basketball players, more than a third were found to have bone abnormalities in their feet despite only one of the subjects reporting any symptoms.

Yeah, and the study was done at Duke.
I wonder where they got the top basketball players?
