It does suck for them but they have two other PG's in Chatman and Brooks.  Crazy how usually they had at least 2 on the floor among the 3 at all times.

@YahooDagger: Injuries to Doug McDermott, Grant Gibbs mar Creighton’s victory over DePaul http://t.co/Sg0cVf6B6U

@JonRothstein: Seton Hall shorthanded tonight vs. Villanova. Pirates will be without both Eugene Teague (concussion) + Fuquan Edwin (knee).

@gene_wang: #Hoyas C Joshua Smith did not make trip to Providence, dealing with academic issue.

@DalyDoseOfHoops: Halftime in Newark: Seton Hall really hanging with No. 8 Villanova, trailing 38-32 at the break. Stats to come. #shbb

GT down by 5 to PC at half

@Hoyas247: The #Hoyas drop their first Big East game of their season and lose their first game to Providence since 2005 by the score of 70-52.
And
SH loses to Nova by 16

DePaul just beat Butler in Butler. Didn't see that one coming

So Butler and STJ only winless teams

Could this guy be done?

@BenStandig: JT3 said Josh Smith will not travel to Xavier for Wednesday's game. Missed last two games due to academic issues. #hoyas

With our luck he will return on 2/16 to help ward off our "February Surge".
