Twitter | Tony Wroten Quits Twitter After Disappointing Loss To Saint Louis

Washington Huskies freshmen point guard Tony Wroten Jr. left a message for his 5000 plus followers on Twitter Sunday night:

Wroten's tweet comes on the same day as the Huskies' disappointing 77-64 defeat at the hands of Saint Louis. The freshmen phenom was the team's second highest leading scorer with 14 points. However, he finished the game with a team high five turnovers. Wroten's twitter  account has been the subject of controversy in the past, and even led to a Seattle Public Schools investigation .

The last time a Husky basketball player quitted twitter, it yielded positive consequences. In a similar situation, Isaiah Thomas took a break from Twitter midseason in Februrary during the 2010-11 season. Thomas ended up staying true to his word and returned to the social media service after winning the Pac-12 tournament championship.
