Keshawn Williams - Not available for opener Williams (knee) did not see the court in Monday's 92-70 loss to Marquette.

Impact Williams is recovering from a torn ACL suffered back in January, and he's now been unable to take the court in both exhibition play and the official season opener. The senior guard was averaging 17.9 ppg when he sustained the injury last season and has first-team all-MAC potential if he can return to action soon. His next chance to contribute will be Saturday against Appalachian State.

No. 2 Kent State too much for No. 7 Northern Illinois, reaches semifinals of MAC men's basketball tourney The Flashes dominated the rebound battle in the end with 43-29 and points in the paint with 42-24.

Kaleb Thornton - Ineffective despite big minutes Thornton (undisclosed) had two points (1-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, seven assists and three steals over 43 minutes during Saturday's 66-65 OT loss to Miami (OH).

Impact Thornton saw heavy run despite missing NIU's last game due to undisclosed reasons, but his return coincided with his poorest shooting performance since entering the starting lineup Jan. 10. Don't expect the funk to last too long, as he had been averaging 13.3 points and 6.7 assists in his 10 starts prior to last week's unexplained absence.

Keshawn Williams - Suffers torn ACL Williams suffered an ACL tear back on Jan. 7 against Buffalo, Jordan Majewski of SB Nation reports.

Impact Williams had been the leading scorer for the Huskies prior to going down with injury, posting 17.9 ppg through the first 15 contests of the season. Senior guard Kaleb Thornton had taken over the starting spot in his stead, but he's sitting out Tuesday with an undisclosed injury of his own, leaving NIU severely short-handed for the road matchup in the MAC.

Kaleb Thornton - Out against Ball State Thornton will not take the court Thursday against Ball State due to undisclosed reasons, Ryan Sierocki of ESPN and 91.3 WCRD reports.

Impact Thornton had started the last 10 games for the Huskies and logged 37 or more minutes in each, averaging 13.3 points and 6.7 assists over that span. It's unclear who might taket he reins at point guard, as Keshawn Williams had previously been starting over Thornton but hasn't appeared in a game since Jan. 7.
