It was revealed prior to the game that senior forward Joe Fulce would be out for at least a couple weeks with a left-knee injury, and then at the 12-minute 12-second mark of the first half, freshman forward Davante Gardner left for good after sustaining a left-shoulder injury during a scrum for a loose ball.

Gardner was to be evaluated after the game.

While Fulce's loss isn't huge on the surface -- he was averaging 3.3 points and 3.7 rebounds in the first three games -- he was another athlete who could play a number of positions. If Gardner is out for any length of time, it will rob the Golden Eagles of their most dependable low-block scorer.
