Suffered a knee injury driving to bucket in the UND game.  He scored on the play but landed awkwardly.  He was in quite a bit of pain.  Went to locker room and returned to bench later in game in a walking cast I think.

That sucks. I had a hard time following the UND game, as I could only get the stat format to work. Wishing him quick healing!

Pearson missed the UND game cause he got roughed up pretty good against ORU and Lamar got hurt in the UND game 
 

How does Kreuser get to shoot FTs on a block foul.  Contact before he was in shooting motion.
