Wood to miss UIC game with illness
MBB: The senior has started every game the last three seasons for the Racers
Murray State Head Coach Steve Prohm has announced senior guard JaCobi Wood will not play Tuesday night against UIC due to illness.
Wood will miss a game for the first time in his nearly three seasons with the Racers. He has started every game for Murray State up to this point.
The senior from Cleveland, Tennessee leads the Racers in scoring (13.3 PPG) and assists (4.9 APG) this season. Wood is shooting a career-best 40.0% from three-point range, and 41.3% from beyond the arc in conference play.
Alden Applewhite is expected to slide into the starting rotation, while Terence Harcum will take over the primary point guard duties tonight. So far this season, Harcum has a 1.76 assist-to-turnover ratio.
