Bandoumel joined the Husker program after playing the three previous seasons at Southern Methodist. This year he had started all 20 games averaging 8.4 ppg, 4.8 rpg and 2.3 apg.
Fred Hoiberg made the announcement on Monday afternoon.
“I am heartbroken for Emmanuel to have his college career end this way. I’ve said all season that Emmanuel is one of the best defenders in the country, and he impacts the game in so many ways beyond the measurables. He is also one of the best culture guys I’ve had the pleasure to coach. He always comes into the gym with a positive attitude and will do anything for the team. While he can’t help us on the court, I know Emmanuel will continue to be a leader for us and help our younger guys.”
This is the second major injury in as many weeks for the Cornhuskers. Juwan Gary suffered a season-ending shoulder injury last week.
The Cornhuskers are 10-10 this year and will host the Northwestern Wildcats on Wednesday at 6:00 pm.
“He gives you so much versatility on that end of the floor,” Fred Hoiberg said of Emmanuel Bandoumel, one of the best perimeter defenders he has coached.
The #Huskers will miss that, plus his energy and leadership on the court the rest of the way. https://t.co/c5jRMbYdja
