Tim Abromaitis, Notre Dame's senior forward and co-captain, will miss the rest of the 11-12 season after tearing the ACL in his right knee during a Friday practice.

Abromaitis had been averaging 14 points and seven rebounds per game.

"Tim Abromaitis is one of the great stories in college athletics and represents everything that is good about college basketball," Irish coach Mike Brey said in a statement. "We are all disappointed for Tim because of all that he has meant to our program. He has been such a big part of our success over the past three seasons. Tim is such a special young man and an unbelievable representative of Notre Dame both on and off the basketball court."
