Freshman wing Manny Arop, a key contributor off Gonzaga's bench, is out for the year with a broken left foot. He suffered the injury during the second half of GU's 77-62 win over Loyola Marymount in the WCC Tournament semifinals Sunday night.

Arop averages 3.5 points and 3.8 rebounds. He's expected to have surgery Wednesday and recovery time is typically eight weeks.
