Iffy for Monday Oregon State head coach Wayne Tinkle said Rand (undisclosed) is uncertain to play Monday against Sacramento State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Doesn't travel with Tigers Rand did not make the trip to South Dakota for Wednesday's matchup against St. Mary's, as he's in quarantine due to contact tracing, Danielle Lerner of DailyMemphian.comreports.
Impact Rand appears to be the only Memphis player who will be sidelined for the opener for this reason. It's unclear at this time how long he's expected to quarantine or when the clock on that started, but he should be considered questionable at best for any remaining games in the Crossover Classic this week. Following this tournament, the next game on the schedule for Memphis is a Dec. 2 matchup against Arkansas State.
