Casey Simmons - Will come off bench Simmons will come off the bench for Sunday's matchup against Maryland, Patrick Stevens of the Washington Post reports.
Impact Simmons had started all seven games for the Wildcats this season but will head to the bench to make room for the return of Chase Audige (hip). As long as Audige is in good healthy, this could be the norm for Northwestern the rest of the way out. Simmons had been averaging 4.4 points and 3.1 rebounds per contest but was held scoreless in last Tuesday's OT loss to Wake Forest.

Chase Audige - Set for season debut Audige (hip) is in the starting lineup Sunday against Maryland, Patrick Stevens of the Washington Post reports.
Impact Audige was considered a game-time call but will ultimately make his season debut, sending freshman Casey Simmons to the bench.
