Anthony Drmic has been a staple of Boise State basketball over the past five seasons, and countless times Drmic has carried his team to victory. Whether it be with his scoring ability, scrappy defense, or basketball IQ, Anthony always seemed to get the job done.
This season however, his body is betraying him.
Drmic had off season surgery on his lower leg, and a resulting complication from the surgery has made his recovery much slower than once was expected. It has gotten to the point where Drmic is now visibly laboring up and down the court, reducing him to a shell of his former self.
"He's brought so much to the team and I think we've been really motivated lately with his struggles off the court..." Nick Duncan said. "We really want to get him that ring, and get all these wins for him."
James Webb III added that it hurts to see Anthony struggle physically like this. "...We know what he's been through and how much he loves the game so why not put him on our back?"
Leon Rice said that if teams start to ignore Drmic that is when he'll remind everybody of his skill with a big game. "...When we need him most you'll find we'll look up and he'll have big one."
Boise will need Anthony's big game experience, leadership, and scoring ability down the stretch to bolster their chances at making a second straight NCAA tournament appearance but in the mean time, while he tries to get 100% physically, this team seems hellbent on carrying a leader than has carried them so many times before.
