Losing Daniel Hackett for any length of time would hurt a Trojans backcourt that lacks depth.
Speaking on ESPNU's "Inside the Polls" on Monday, Floyd said the sophomore might have a fractured bone in his spinal column.
"He's in bad shape and we're waiting to hear from doctors after a follow-up X-ray," Floyd said. "He was literally on one leg at Washington State."
Hackett's injury, suffered during a loss to Arizona on Jan. 31, was initially said to be a bruised hip.
If true it is obviously not a good thing.
But lets wait on some definitive news before we jump to conclusions. I want to hear what the Docs say first.
If true you can count on a complete injury write-up in the very near future. Lets hope for the best.

That said, the coaches need to make sure that Hackett's getting solid diagnostic work and the appropriate care. There's playing hurt, and then there's wrecking one's long term health. If it turns out to be that severe an injury, the first priority has to be getting Hackett healthy. So we lose a game to ucla; it's happened before.
Best wishes to Daniel
bad news for youse
