On Monday, he clearly stated that Safford was out for the rest of the season while refusing to do that previous to the selection show.

I think Syracuse did this with Onuaku.
On Friday, they issed a sunny side up press release, that was vague as to the nature and duration of his injury, but that he was expected at practice on Monday. Sunday night, after the bracket was announced, Boeheim said that he was doubtful to practice all week, and for the weekend's games, and that their hope was he'd be ready for the second weekend.
