Jack Karasinski - Ruled out Friday Karasinski (concussion) is out for Friday's game against Stony Brook, according to Northwestern's announcement.

Impact Karasinski's absence leaves Northwestern without a big who scored 24 points and seven three-pointers in Monday's win over Binghamton. The fifth-year senior's status for the Wildcats' next game will likely depend on his progress through concussion protocol.

LA Pratt - Good start to Wildcats career Pratt closed Monday's 86-60 victory over Binghamton with 19 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block in 32 minutes.

Impact The Northeastern transfer picked up where he left off in an easy win over Binghamton. Pratt figures to be relied upon heavily to help carry the Wildcats' backcourt this season, and he's off to a good start in that department.

Jack Karasinski - Seven triples in opener Karasinski finished Monday's 86-60 victory over Binghamton with 24 points (8-12 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes.

Impact Karasinski transferred to Northwestern this offseason, but questions remained about whether or not he'd be able to sustain his production at Bellarmine where he averaged 20 points per game. Well, if you knock down seven three-pointers, you can score 20 on just about anybody. Northwester will face much tougher defenses than Binghamton, of course, but so far, this is a good return on investment for the Wildcats.

Colin Smith - Scoreless in debut Smith (undisclosed) racked up zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one assist and one steal over 17 minutes during Monday's 86-60 victory over Binghamton.

Impact Smith didn't score a single point and failed to make much of an impact on the box score, but at least logged 17 minutes off the bench. He's likely to continue seeing minutes as a depth option in Northwestern's frontcourt.
