Impact Chiddick, who hasn't appeared since November, will be active for the Wildcats during Saturday's regular season finale against the Musketeers. The 6-foot-4 senior's availability is likely driven by the team's desire to get him some playing time on Senior Night. Chiddick has appeared in one game this season for a total of three minutes.

The 6-foot-8 forward had started all 29 games for the Wildcats in his freshman season, averaging 9.2 points and 3.6 rebounds across 27.6 minutes per game. He'll now look to make a return for next season, but it's unknown what his timeline looks like.
