Tchatchoua has surgery
WACO, Texas (AP) — Baylor big man Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua has undergone season-ending surgery to repair multiple ligaments in his left knee.
The junior forward got hurt without any contact in the first half of Baylor’s 80-63 win over No. 20 Texas on Saturday. Tchatchoua was going down the court after a missed shot by the Bears when his left leg turned awkwardly and he crumbled to the floor in obvious pain.
