UTEP: Miner Has Major Surgery



Miner Has Major Surgery: UTEP senior forward John Tofi, the team’s most dominant player, will miss the remainder of his last season because of an ACL tear in his right knee. Tofi hurt the knee in the Miners’ loss at Memphis last week and had surgery Friday to repair the tear. Tofi averages 13.9 points and 9.2 rebounds per game for the second-place Miners. Without Tofi, UTEP’s thin hopes of earning at-large bid probably evaporate. Tofi will likley need six to eight months to fully recover from the injury. [2/27/06]
