Hood sidelined with ACL tear

Sad news out of Lexington yesterday. Junior Kentucky small forward, Jon Hood, tore his ACL in a pick up game. Hood's father reported that it was a freak accident where no contact had taken place, Jon was 'just standing there'. Hood will undergo surgery once the swelling goes down. A timetable for his return has not been set, but similar injuries have caused players to miss the season's entirety.

All of Big Blue Nation took to the Twitterwaves last night to wish @hoodyhood4 the best of luck in his recovery as we do here on SportsThat.

Hood had made progress between his Freshmen and Sophomore seasons and looked to be a big bench player role.
