Partaking in warmups again Brea (undisclosed) is participating in warmups again ahead of Saturday's game versus Ole Miss, David Jablonski of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Impact Brea notably warmed up prior to Tuesday's game versus Northern Kentucky as well but didn't appear in the contest. It's unclear exactly what kind of role the freshman will play if he takes the floor Saturday but it's at least a sign that he's nearing a debut for the Flyers.

In uniform Saturday Weaver (not injury related) is dressed for Saturday's contest against Mississippi, according to David Jablonski of the Dayton Daily News.

Impact Weaver was expected to sit out the entire season, but he figures to be available moving forward after the NCAA approved a blanket waiver earlier this week for all transfers. Even if he doesn't take part Saturday, Weaver should at least be available as an option if needed.

Warming up Tuesday Brea is warming up ahead of Tuesday's game against Northern Kentucky, David Jablonski of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Impact Brea did not play in either of the first two games due to an undisclosed issue. This is a good sign for his status for Tuesday's game, however. The 6-6 freshman is hoping to push for a role within the rotation this season.

12 boards against Mustangs Tshimanga had eight points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 12 rebounds, three steals, two assists and a block Saturday against SMU.

Impact He's now averaging 10 boards through the Flyers first two games. You'd like to see more blocks, but at 6-foot-11, 278 pounds, Tshimanga is going to be a matchup problem on most evenings. He's playing 27.5 minutes for a rebuilding team that saw its bench earn only 29 total minutes. With center eligibility, Tshimanga has ample fantasy appeal.

Drops 23 on SMU Watson finished with 23 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) six rebounds and a steal Saturday against SMU.

Impact It's only two games, but Watson looks like the clear choice to absorb some production the Flyers lost from last season. He's averaging 19.5 points and 6.0 rebounds while playing 38.5 minutes. With that kind of run, there's no reason to expect a drop off or inconsistency, and he should be owned where A-10 teams are featured as a result.

Ruled out Brea (undisclosed) will not play in Saturday's game against SMU, David Jablonski of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Impact Brea's absence will mark his second straight to start the season. The freshman will now have to set his sights on Dayton's matchup with Mississippi on 12/19 to make his collegiate debut.

Game cancelled against IPFW Watson and the Flyers won't face Fort Wayne next Tuesday.

Impact Fort Wayne has reportedly paused all activities following at least one positive COVID-19 test. Thus, Watson and the Flyers won't face the Mastodons on Dec. 8. The game apparently won't be made up.

Sits out opener Brea did not take the court in Tuesday's season opener against Eastern Illinois due to an unspecified injury, David Jablonski of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Impact It's unclear what Brea's role might be this season, but the 6-6 freshman doesn't appear quite ready to go. His next chance to see game action will be Saturday against SMU.
