Kaidon Rayfield - DNP Wednesday Rayfield (ankle) did not appear in Wednesday's 82-81 loss against ECU.

Impact Rayfield's absence comes after the 6-foot-8 freshman aggravated an ankle injury during last week's loss against Tulsa. The freshman wing is averaging 6.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks in his first season at the collegiate level (26 games). Rayfield's status for Sunday's game against Wichita State is uncertain at this time.

Brent Moss - Suffers ankle injury Wednesday Moss suffered an ankle injury during Wednesday's 82-81 loss to East Carolina, Jerry Briggs of TheJBReplay.com reports.

Impact Moss seemed to suffer an ankle injury during the second half of Wednesday's contest, although he was able to continue on in the game. Head coach Austin Claunch said that Moss was able to play through it based on adrenaline and that he expected Moss to be walking gingerly. Although it does not seem overly serious, it's certainly worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's clash versus Wichita State.
