Justin Moore - Sitting out NIT opener Moore won't be available for Tuesday's NIT first-round matchup with Liberty due to unspecified soreness, Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.com reports.

Impact After missing Villanova's first 20 games of the season while recovering from right Achilles' tendon surgery, Moore suited up in each of Villanova's final 13 games of the regular season and Big East Tournament. Zagoria's report doesn't indicate whether Moore is experiencing soreness with his right Achilles or to a different part of his body, but unless Villanova advances with a win, his 2022-23 season will come to an end. The Wildcats will also play without star freshman Cam Whitmore (eye).

Impact The 6-foot-7 freshman had been considered a game-time decision with the eye injury, but he'll end up sitting out the NIT opener in what marks his first absence Nov. 27. After making his collegiate debut Dec. 3, Whitmore proceeded to start in 20 of Villanova's subsequent 26 games and averaged 12.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 27.2 minutes per contest.

Impact Whitmore is reportedly dealing with an eye injury, and he will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's NIT matchup against Liberty. The 6-foot-7 freshman has appeared in 26 games this season (20 starts), averaging 12.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 1.4 steals on 27.2 minutes per game. If Whitmore is unable to go, the Wildcats will likely rely on additional contributions from Chris Arcidiacono.
