Whose Injury Hurt More? - URI Edition - Results
In accordance with the “Whose Injury Hurt More? - URI Edition” article from May 28, 2017, I ran a Twitter poll to see if the season-ending injury to E.C. Matthews in 2015 or the season-ending injury to Tyler Wilson in 2017 was more damaging to URI. After a full 24 hours, the results show that the Rhode Island fan base believes that Matthews’ ACL tear in the 2015-2016 season was worse.
I think that an argument can easily be made for either choice. Given that it is in recent history, Wilson’s labrum injury seems to be the injury that appeared to be more destructive to one of URI’s sports teams. Unfortunately, the Rhode Island baseball team was unable to successfully defend their Atlantic 10 championship in the 2017 season.
