College career over for inured UAB star Eddins

UAB has lost Demario Eddins — its team leader and best player — for the remainder of the season.

The senior forward suffered a tear of his right Achilles' tendon in UAB's 68-62 win over Virginia Commonwealth Monday night, effectively ending his prolific career with the Blazers.

"This is a tremendous blow to our basketball program and our basketball family, but more importantly to Demario," UAB head coach Mike Anderson said in a press release. "He is a four-year starter and was one of the foundation-laying members of the resurgence of UAB basketball over the last four seasons."

Eddins established himself firmly in the UAB record books, scoring 1,241 points, grabbing 511 rebounds, dishing 251 assists and swiping 177 steals in 111 career games.

He ranks 11th on UAB's all-time scoring and rebounding lists, 20th in scoring average, fifth with 333 free throws made, third with 480 free-throw attempts, sixth in steals and third in games started with 101.

Eddins is only the second Blazer ever to record over 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 250 assists and 175 steals.

The Chicago native will undergo surgery to repair the tear at UAB Hospital on Wednesday. Team physician Dr. Bill Garth will perform the operation. Recovery time for a torn Achilles' tendon is approximately six months.

From a UAB Athletics release.
