Marcus Bagley did not make the trip so he will miss his eighth straight game, having aggravated a knee injury. Bagley last played on Nov. 15 against North Florida.
In addition, senior guard Marreon Jackson is playing through a wrist injury which has hampered his shooting.
"He’s been fighting through it and it’s starting to get a little better and I think he’s getting a little bit more comfortable with that and if you can imagine being a right-handed player and the wrist you need to dribble and pass and shoot so as a point guard, it’s a issue.," coach Bobby Hurley said. "But he’s a tough kid and he’s playing through it and hopefully that will continue to get better.”
