Xavier Loses Sumner To Torn ACL

[JoshNaso]

More sad injury news from the Big East. After Creighton was devastated by the loss of Maurice Watson Jr. a few weeks ago, now Xavier is dealing with the loss of a key playmaker in Edmond Sumner. Sumner was averaging 15 points, five assists, and 4.3 rebounds for the Musketeers, and Xavier now joins Creighton in trying to replace major backcourt contributors and offensive catalysts. It's a big blow to a team who entered the season's with designs on a deep tournament run. It's also a blow to the Big East, which has now seen two of their top four programs suffer a significant injury, just as the conference was announcing itself as a major player nationally. Wishing Edmond a speedy recovery.
