Boston U.: Jake O'Brien To Miss 2011-12 Season

Call it pulling a Peyton. After needing another surgery to repair a broken foot, Boston University big man Jake O'Brien, absent for the Terriers' run to the NCAA Tournament after an injury @UMass on last New Year's Eve, will miss the entirety of the next season (according to his facebook quoth One-Bid Wonders). This is a huge blow for a Terriers team that was expecting to only be minus John Holland from last year's squad but must now replace their two best players from last year. Hopefully Dom Morris, Patrick Hazel and Jeff Pelage will be able to step up, or the Terriers might face significant problems in the post. O'Brien does plan to seek a medical redshirt and play his senior year in 2012-13.
