=== Villanova's Bell out indefinitely ===

Villanova, PA (Sports Network) - Villanova freshman guard James Bell will
be out indefinitely, the school reported on Thursday.

Bell, an Orlando native, was diagnosed with stress fractures in the tibia of
both legs. He will not participate in any physical activity and then will be
re-evaluated by team orthopedic surgeon Dr. Rob Good in October.

"We're disappointed for James," said Wildcats head coach Jay Wright. "He has
acclimated himself very well academically and socially at Villanova in his
short time with us, and I am sure he will take that same kind of mature
approach with his rehab."

The 6-foot-5 Bell averaged 18.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.3 steals during his
senior season in Florida.
