Expected to play despite sprain Boum (ankle) is expected to play against Marquette on Wednesday despite battling an ankle sprain, per Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer.
Impact Xavier is holding Boum out of practice with his ankle sprain, but reportedly expects him to play Wednesday against Marquette. The starting point guard hasn't missed any time with this injury, although it's clear Xavier is erring on the side of caution by holding him out of practice. Boum has started every game for the Musketeers this season and has been an electrifying playmaker, averaging 16.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists.
