West Virginia starting point guard Darryl "Truck'' Bryant broke his right foot during practice Tuesday and will miss the rest of the NCAA <NOBR style="FONT-FAMILY: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; COLOR: darkgreen; FONT-SIZE: 100%; FONT-WEIGHT: normal" id=itxt_nobr_0_0>tournament</NOBR>
The second-seeded Mountaineers, who won the Big <NOBR style="FONT-FAMILY: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; COLOR: darkgreen; FONT-SIZE: 100%; FONT-WEIGHT: normal" id=itxt_nobr_1_0>East
</NOBR> tournament, play 11th-seeded Washington on Thursday night in Syracuse, N.Y., in the East Regional semifinals.
The school announced that the sophomore from New York fractured his fifth metatarsal.
"I feel sorry for Truck that this injury happened during this time of the season,'' coach Bob <NOBR style="FONT-FAMILY: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; COLOR: darkgreen; FONT-SIZE: 100%; FONT-WEIGHT: normal" id=itxt_nobr_3_0>Huggins
</NOBR> said.
Bryant has started 31 games and averages 9.3 points and is second on the team in assists (3.1) and 3-pointers (40).
He will likely be replaced in the starting lineup by junior Joe Mazzulla, who is more of a playmaker than a scorer. Mazzulla averages 2.2 points and 2.3 assists per game.
