Dealing with hip pointer Williams suffered a hip pointer last week but was back at practice today according to coach Matt Painter, Mike Carmin of the Lafayette Journal & Courier reports. Impact It doesn't appear that Williams is in any danger of missing the season opener, but it's just a situation to monitor with a Nov. 25 matchup against Liberty just nine days away. The 6-10 junior will be an important player for the Boilermakers this season and is projected to be one of the top rebounders in the Big Ten.
