C.J. Jones - Misses Friday's exhibition Jones (undisclosed) did not play in Friday's exhibition win over Newman.

Impact Jones was unable to play in Friday's final exhibition game prior to the regular season for undisclosed reasons. It's most likely an injury though considering how many players saw the floor in the exhibition and the fact that he logged at least nine minutes in every game last season with the Wildcats. His status for Tuesday's opener versus UNC-Greensboro is now in question.
