Won't start Saturday Horton won't start Saturday's contest against Clemson, Craig Meyer of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Horton will come off the bench for just the third time all season. It's unclear how many minutes he'll see, as he played just 11 minutes as a starter Monday against Wake Forest, but he averages 29.5 minutes per game off the bench this season.

Not starting Sunday Brown is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Clemson, Craig Meyer of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Brown got a spot start earlier in the week but only played 13 minutes despite seeing a season-high 33 minutes and logging a double-double in a close loss to N.C State on Feb. 28. The team will turn back to Abdoul Karim Coulibaly as their starting center while Brown returns to his usual reserve role for Saturday's regular-season finale.

Not in starting five Odukale won't start Saturday's game against Clemson, Craig Meyer of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Odukale has seen major minutes over the last two games as the starting point guard but will apparently be shifted to a bench role in favor of Onyebuchi Ezeakudo for Saturday's regular-season finale. Ezeakudo could receive a few extra minutes as a result, but Odukale figures to still see a hefty workload.
