Welcome to March, ladies and gentlemen, as the cruel tradition continues...
Nojel Eastern rolled his ankle in warm-ups and will be replaced in the starting lineup by Eric Hunter Jr. #MarchMadness

Yup, I have no words for this, other than here we go again, as Gregg Doyel pointed out...
Glenn Robinson hurt his back wrestling with a teammate. Isaac Haas had his elbow broken. Now Nojel Eastern rolls an ankle in pregame warmups. Purdue's luck in the NCAA Tournament: not great.

No word on if Nojel Eastern will play in this game. Stay tuned to us on Twitter for more updates, as Casey is in Hartford covering this game for us.
