Available at FIU Ilic (ankle) is available for Saturday's game at Florida International, Sports of SHSU reports.

Impact Fortunately for Ilic, his ankle scare appears to be a short-term problem. In conference games this month, he has averaged a double-double, providing much-needed scoring and rebounding for a middling team. Both the Bearkats and New Mexico State will look to escape the Conference USA's basement with a win over the other Saturday.

Questionable at FIU Ilic (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game at Florida International, Sports of SHSU reports.

Impact Ilic suffered an ankle injury during Sam Houston's latest game, logged Wednesday at Jacksonville State. Considering he is averaging 14.6 points and 10.6 rebounds in conference games this month, the Bearkats not having him at Florida International would be a big loss. Ideally for SHSU, Ilic's ankle injury is nothing more than a minor scare.
