Dug McDaniel - Scores team-high 23 McDaniel racked up 23 points (11-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, six assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 92-65 victory over Florida Atlantic.
Impact McDaniel suffered a concussion in the Saturday loss to Wichita State and was questionable coming into Wednesday's game. He had his best scoring performance in conference play and equaled his American high in assists as the Tigers snapped a two-game losing streak. Despite not playing particularly well, the Tigers are just one game out of first place in the American and face Tulane on Sunday.

Josiah Parker - Comes up with huge game Parker accumulated 21 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 11-16 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Thursday's 92-65 loss to Memphis.
Impact The 6-7 freshman took on the offensive load for the Owls with Devin Vanterpool (undisclosed) and Kanaan Carlyle (calf) out. It wasn't enough to push FAU to the win and the team fell out of first place in the American for the first time in a month. Parker had his second double-double, both in the last four games. In that span, the guard has averaged 15.8 points and 8.8 rebounds.

Impact Vanterpool, who was not listed on the injury report prior to the game, has been ruled out for Thursday's contest. It's a tough loss for the Owls as he's averaging 16.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 30.6 minutes per game. With Kanaan Carlyle (calf) also out, the Owls will be without both members of the starting back court on the road.

Kanaan Carlyle - Ruled out Thursday Carlyle (calf) is out for Thursday's game at Memphis, Roman Cleary of Bluff City Media reports.
Impact Carlyle, who was listed as questionable on the injury report, has now been ruled out of Thursday's contest. It's a tough blow for the Owls with Carlyle averaging 14.7 points and 3.3 assists per game this season. Niccolo Moretti will likely start in the back court in Carlyle's place.

Curtis Givens III - Won't play Thursday Givens is out for Thursday's game against Florida Atlantic with a knee injury, Nick New of Memphis JRSM reports.
Impact Givens was not dressed out with the team and was not partaking in pregame warmups. It's unclear when exactly he got injured but coach Penny Hardaway only labeled him as day-to-day on his pregame radio show. Givens has started the last four games, averaging 11 points over that span. Sincere Parker (ankle) or Julius Thedford are candidates to join the starting lineup in Givens' place.
