Burney Done For The Season
Sophomore forward Jerome Burney will miss the remainder of the season due to a broken sesamoid bone in his right foot, a team spokesman said in an email release.
Burney returned to action Feb. 17 at Clemson after missing most of the previous two months due to a stress fracture in the same foot. He played against the Tigers and against North Carolina four days later before sitting out the past three contests.
Burney, who sat out the 2006 season due to a left foot injury, appeared in nine games this season, averaging 0.9 points and 1.9 rebounds per game.
More information to come as it becomes available.

Too bad and a tough break (pardon the pun) for Jerome and the team. After playing so well against Carolina, I was hoping he could be a factor defensively for the rest of the year. But he didn't get off the bench against Duke and played so little Tuesday. Now we know why. Get healthy Jerome! It would be nice to have you off the bench next season.
