LSU...Tigers' leading scorer G Andre Stringer (12 ppg) didn't play against Boise State last Saturday night due to dizzy spells and has been ruled out of Thursday's (Dec. 15) game against UC Irvine.

Gibler scored 13.5 ppg and took 5.5 rpg in the Ramblers' first eight games but is questionable for the December 17th game against Chicago State. Crisman is the team's third-best scorer at 9.6 ppg.
Marquette...Undefeated Golden Eagles are without C and 2nd-leading rebounder Chris Otule, who injured his knee two minutes into the Dec. 6 game against Washington and sat out last Saturday's Green Bay game. Marquette beat the Phoenix 79-61, but couldn't quite get the cover Saturday in part due to the fact that they dressed just eight players due to injuries. Besides Otule, reserves Juan Anderson (shoulder) and Jamil Wilson (4 ppg, 3.3 rpg; ankle) were also in street clothes.

Backup sharpshooting G Kerry Hammonds (just 4.4 ppg but 53% on treys) has appeared in just one of the Blue Raiders' last five games due to a recurring stress fracture in his foot.
Mississippi State...Lanky 6-11, 230-pound F Arnett Moultrie (Memphis transfer), who has quickly become the top inside scorer for Bulldogs, missed the FAU game due to knee tendinitis and is questionable for Saturday's game vs. Detroit. 6-3 G Brian Bryant (8.4 ppg and Bulldogs' 2nd-leading rebounder with 5.6 rpg) was suspended for the last three games but will be eligible to return Saturday against Detroit.
Ohio State...Star F Jared Sullinger (19 ppg & 10.3 rpg) returned to action Wednesday night against South Carolina Upstate. Sullinger, who had missed the Buckeyes' previous two contests with back spasms, came off the bench and played 25 minutes, scoring 12 points and taking down 10 boards.
