NC State head men's basketball coach Sidney Lowe has announced that sophomore point guard Farnold Degand will miss the remainder of the 2007-08 season after tearing his ACL Sunday night in the win over
Cincinnati. Degand will undergo surgery at a later date.
The 6-4, 178 native of Boston has started all 10 games for the Wolfpack
at the point this season, averaging 6.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 28.6
minutes per game. He also led the team in assists (2.9 per game) and
three-point shooting (.500, 8-16). Degand sat out last season after
transferring from Iowa State, where he redshirted the 2005-06 campaign.
"This is a really tough break for Farnold individually and for our team
collectively," Lowe said Monday morning. "After not being able to play
for two years, he was really enjoying being back on the court. He will
definitely have the support of his teammates and the coaching staff
throughout the rehabilitation process."
