Wiley, Jutting visit Pohl

MSU forward Jason Wiley visited injured Gophers player Tom Pohl on Wednesday, and Mavericks coach Troy Jutting visited him Tuesday, Jutting said after practice Wednesday. Wiley was not available for comment, but Jutting said he was relieved to see Pohl's condition improving.

"Nobody plays this game expecting to get hurt or to hurt someone else," Jutting said.

Jutting confirmed that MSU coaches and players were concerned about Wiley, who couldn't be reached for a long stretch Monday.

"He wasn't returning anybody's phone calls," Jutting said. "He just needed some time. ... No matter what anybody says sometimes, it's not going to make you feel any better."

Jutting said Wiley talked to Pohl on the phone on Tuesday.
