6:10 p.m: Somewhat expected this evening, but guard Kolby King and forwards Mantas Rubstavicius and Owen Freeman did not participate in the initial wave of pregame warm-ups for tonight's game. Rubstavicius remains ineligible, amid litigation against the NCAA.

King, while granted eligibility last week after a ruling in an Ohio court, missed last week's exhibition after having wisdom teeth surgery. Freeman (foot) continues to work back from an offseason injury.
