Eric Williams - Sits against Loyola MarymountWilliams was out injured for Saturday's 87-79 victory over Loyola Marymount, San Diego announcer Jack Cronin reports.

ImpactWilliams had started the previous eight games for San Diego and averaged 13.6 ppg over that span, but he saw his lowest minutes (23) and points (5) of that streak last Thursday against Portland. Effectively, Williams was unavailable, along with other key players Jase Townsend (personal) and Jaiden Delaire (undisclosed). Still, San Diego got the short-handed victory and will look to carry that momentum into Thursday's matchup at Santa Clara, where Williams' status may be a bit uncertain.

Jaiden Delaire - Sidelined SaturdayDelaire was held out injured in Saturday's 87-79 victory over Loyola Marymount, San Diego announcer Jack Cronin reports.

ImpactDelaire returned from a 12-game absence Thursday against Portland and proceeded to log six points and seven boards across 25 minutes. Given the Torreros had another conference game just two days later, the team is likely taking a conservative approach with the senior forward's recovery. It's unclear if, or how much, he'll be able to contribute when San Diego hits the road Thursday for a matchup against Santa Clara.

Jase Townsend - Away from team SaturdayTownsend did not play in Saturday's 87-79 victory over Loyola Marymount, as he was away to attend a family funeral, San Diego announcer Jack Cronin reports.

ImpactTownsend was one of three significant rotation players out for San Diego on Saturday, but the Torreros were still able to pick up the victory. It's an impressive feat without their second-leading scorer in Townsend (15.4 ppg), whose status is uncertain prior to Thursday's matchup at Santa Clara.

Rick Issanza - Misses second straightIssanza (undisclosed) has missed back-to-back games for Loyola Marymount.

ImpactIssanza returned to the starting lineup back on Jan. 5 and had started seven consecutive games prior to sitting out Monday against BYU. With the 7-1 junior now sidelined for undisclosed reasons, Michael Graham has stepped in the start back-to-back games at center. Saturday was one of Graham's best individual efforts all season, as he recorded 14 points and 15 rebounds in the road loss. It's unclear what Graham's status is in advance of Thursday's matchup against St. Mary's.

Deven Dahlke - Plays 30 minutesDahlke contributed three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 87-79 win over Loyola Marymount.

ImpactDahlke spent his freshman and sophomore seasons as a backup option for Drake. He transferred to San Diego before his junior year. Before playing Loyola Marymount, Dahlke averaged five minutes across 14 of the SD team's 24 games from Nov. 7 to Feb. 2. Dahlke benefited from teammate absences Saturday, so he is expected to continue being a seldomly used backup once these players are available again.
