Eric Hunter - Out against St. John's Hunter will sit out when St. John's and the Bulldogs play each other Wednesday, according to their Twitter account.

Impact According to the Bulldogs, Hunter did not meet academic expectations required from their team program. Thus, there is a chance he may not play all of the 2023 Big East Tournament or March Madness, even if the Bulldogs are able to make it far. So until further notice, Hunter's availability status will be questionable at least.
