#mubb Vander Blue's left knee is OK but He won't play Monday night against UMBC.

Hunt was in attendance at MU's Sunday night practice, and reports that Blue spent parts of practice on a stationary bicycle. Hunt even provided us with a picture from practice, but you're going to need better eyes than me to be able to pick Blue out, because I definitely don't see a bicycle in the picture.

Here's what we know: 1) Marquette is predicted to win against UMBC by 28 on KenPom.com and 2) Marquette travels to Gainesville to play Florida as part of the Big East/SEC Challenge on Thursday night. Seems like a pretty easy decision to keep your starting shooting guard with a sprained knee on the bench for this one.
