The Zags blew out Texas San Antonio 92-48 Sunday night and you can read about it here.

But GU suffered a big loss Sunday as well.

Micah Downs, the transfer from Kansas who was expected to contribute immediately when he became eligible in mid-December, may not be playing this year.

Downs had surgery to repair his injured foot Sunday and will miss at least the next six to eight weeks, when his status will be reevaluated.

The news on Downs just multiplies the Zags’ injury woes. Freshman Theo Davis is out with a shoulder injury, sophomore Larry Gurganious is out indefinitely with a back problem and GU’s other transfer, David Burgess, is still recuperating a knee.
