Geo Baker - Out again Thursday Baker (hamstring) will miss Thursday's game against Purdue, Chris Iseman of the Asbury Park Press reports.

Impact Baker's bothersome hamstring will cause him to miss at least four contests, presumably leaving Paul Mulcahy to handle most of the duties on the ball again Thursday. Ron Harper figures to be the centerpiece in the team's offense in a tough matchup versus the Boilers.

Geo Baker - Not warming up early Baker (hamstring) is not taking part in early warmups ahead of Thursday's game against Purdue, Chris Iseman of the Asbury Park Press reports.

Impact While he hasn't officially been ruled out, Baker's absence from warmups combined with the fact that he hasn't been practicing likely aligns him to sit out another game Thursday. If that's the case as expected, Paul Mulcahy figures to spend most of the time on the ball and Ron Harper will be counted on for major production offensively.
