Well I have some good news and bad news regarding a few UConn athletes.
The bad news is that women’s basketball player Mel Thomas has been lost for the season with a torn ACL and torn lateral meniscus. Thomas suffered the injury with 1:52 left in last night’s win over the Syracuse Orange. Unfortunately for her, the injury will end her UConn career.
She is the second UConn starter to suffer a torn ACL this season.
The good news is that football player Donald Thomas was asked to participate in the East-West Shrine game that’s being held at the University of Houston’s Robertson Stadium on Saturday night. The game starts at 7 PM and is being broadcast nationally on ESPN2. Thomas will play for the East squad and will be wearing #74.
