Sits out exhibition Tate (knee) did not take the court in Saturday's exhibition victory over Tiffin. Impact Tate received late-August clearance for running and jogging, but the status of his participation in full basketball activities in unknown at this time. According to Lukas Harkins of Heat Check CBB, Tate has since progressed to shooting drills and other various practice work, but he speculates Tate might not see the court for Butler until conference play, which would suggest a late-December return. Even in Big East-only formats, it wouldn't be wise to put much stock in Tate until more clarity on the situation emerges.
