Tending to hip pointerSouth Florida coach Brian Gregory admitted in Saturday's post-game press conference that Murphy is dealing with a hip pointer, Will Turner of 247 Sports reports.

ImpactWhile Murphy still started Saturday against East Carolina, he had season-lows in both points (2) and minutes played (17). With the injury likely to blame, the freshman should be considered questionable when USF will host top AAC team Houston on Thursday.

Gets starting nodDebaut will rejoin the starting lineup Saturday versus USF.

ImpactDabaut's return to the starting five comes in place of Jayden Gardner, who is still dressed for the game. That could mean slightly expanded minutes for the big man, though Gardner's potential availability clouds that a bit When Gardner is available in a full capacity, look for Debaut to see his minutes wane as they had been recently.

Out SaturdayFarrakhan is unavailable for Saturday's game against South Florida, Stephen Igoe of 247sports.com reports.

ImpactIt's unclear what's keeping Farrakhan out as he's now missed two of the last three games for the pirates. The 6-2 freshman has averaged 4.7 points and 1.3 assists in 12.7 minutes off the bench and will return to that role once he's cleared to return.
