Some injuries that were not listed on the sportsnetwork or vegasinsider:
WI Milwaukee
"Avery Smith a preseason all-league honoree a year ago, returns to the team after being dismissed from the squad last November. Smith does have to sit out the first two games of the regular season after playing in a closed-door scrimmage during the preseason last year."
Rutgers
In addition to Inman and Farmer being out, "**Rutgers sophomore guard Corey Chandler(2nd leading scorer lyr) will be dressed and available to play in Friday night’s season opener against Marist at the RAC, according to sources close to the situation. It has yet to be decided whether he will actually play."
Columbia
as mentioned in United's thread, La Salle transfer Brian Grimes is out. From Blue Ribbon: "Brian is going to make a huge impact for us,'' Jones said. "He can make plays for others, and he can shoot it from deep or post up. He's simply a basketball player.''
Rhode Island - Brown
URI: "Jason Francis, last year’s starting center, has missed much practice time because of chronic knee problems."
Brown: "A concern is the health of the two seniors, Skrelja and Friske. Both have had injury problems, but have been practicing recently and are expected to be ready to go tonight. Skrelja is especially important since he does so much, including help handle the ball. "
Central Michigan
"CMU will be without four players to open the season as Marko Spica (fourth-leading returning scorer), Adrian Hunter, Marcus Van (top returning rebounder), and Jordan Bitzer (leading returning scorer) will all be out."
Hofstra
"Pecora's squad already is down one starter; junior college transfer Miklos Szabo will sit out tonight's contest and tomorrow's game against Western Michigan or Texas Christian because the 6-9, 250-pound Szabo, expected to be the Pride's starting center, played one professional game in his native Hungary several years ago. Pecora was waiting to see how another new starter, guard Cornelius Vines (sore thumb), felt leading up to tonight. "
