More stuff on last night's Lethbridge/NAU game... the Horns were without at least five players who figure to be starters and/or regulars in their rotation including 6'1" Julian Spear Chief-Morris who has an injury that hasn't been fully diagnosed - some are speculating it has the symptoms of a sports hernia. 6'5" Brandon Thomas-James has not yet arrived in Lethbridge and remains home in the GTA. Also both 6'7" sophomore Wes Chapman and 6'1" junior Quinn Van Gaalen were unavailable last night but both are expected to play Sunday. Both recruits from Casper College, 6'10" Abner Kamps and 6'11" Nicola Kovac will not be available for Sunday's game.
