Impact Ugwuakazi sat out Feb. 27 against Canicius, and while reports suggest he'll warm up Sunday, there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer on whether the 6-8 junior will play. Ugwuakazi has been a solid sixth man this season Warriors, averaging 5.6 points and 5.0 rebounds. Sunday's game is relatively inconsequential for Merrimack, as it holds a three-game lead in the MAAC with one game to go, effectively clinching the top seed in the upcoming conference tournament.
