Rob Thomas update
Citing medical privacy regulations, Bucknell is not releasing the exact nature of senior tri-captain Rob Thomas's knee injury.

Thomas went down in a heap after being fouled while driving to the basket just before the 13 minute mark of the first half during the Bison's opening win over Albany. Thomas was in obvious pain, clutching the knee before being helped off the floor by Bucknell's training staff. He spent the rest of the first half with an ice bag strapped to the knee, and returned after the intermission with it heavily wrapped.

In an e-mail response to inquiries about message board posts saying Thomas had torn a ligament in the knee, Bucknell SID Jon Terry wrote, "I can’t be too specific on the nature of Rob Thomas’ knee injury due to medical privacy regulations, but I can tell you that the medical staff is projecting 4-6 week recovery time."

Thomas is the third Bison upperclassman and second of the team's three captains to be lost due to an injury. Fellow senior Darren Mastropaolo is out indefinitely after tearing an ACL during a summer pickup game. Junior sharpshooter Jason Vegotsky is listed as week-to-week with a stress fracture in one of his feet.
