Terriers Take a Big Hit: Boston University suspended forward Tony Gaffney indefinitely prior to Tuesday’s game against Rhode Island for a violation of team policy. The sophomore forward averaged 6.7 points and 5.7 rebounds in 21.7 minutes per game in the team’s first four games this season. Head coach Dennis Wolff did not elaborate further after the game.
The suspension hurts the Terriers even more after Tuesday night’s game. Sophomore Matt Wolff, the head coach’s son, left the game in the first half with what is feared to be a season-ending knee injury. The early speculation is that Wolff has injured the medial collateral ligament in his left knee, and it might be a tear. A reserve forward, Wolff had not scored while averaging 11 minutes per game in the team’s first three games. [11/29/05]
