Brandon Johns - Late scratch SaturdayJohns was a late scratch for Saturday's game against Northern Illinois due to a back issue, Around the Horns reports.
ImpactThe hope is that Johns' back injury isn't serious, although nothing has been revealed as of yet. The Michigan transfer is a key player for the Rams on both ends of the floor, averaging 12.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 28.3 minutes per game.

David Shriver - Starting SaturdayShriver is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Northern Illinois.
ImpactShriver will enter the starting lineup for the first time all year in place of Brandon Johns who was a late scratch due to a back injury. Shriver has not been very efficient so far this season, as he's averaging 4.5 points and 2.5 rebounds on 25.8 percent shooting. He'll need to step up in a big way with the absence of Johns.
