Daniel Ochefu injury update: Villanova big man uncertain to be in lineup on Saturday

Ochefu, having already missed the last two games, may miss a third this Saturday.

Villanova Wildcats center Daniel Ochefu has been absent from the lineup of the reigning, defending two-time regular season champions of the BIG EAST for their last two games. Despite the absence of their senior big man, whom is averaging 9.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and the conference's leader in DRtg (82.1), 'Nova went 2-0 in the games where Ochefu was absent. To their credit, they dispatched St. John's Sunday afternoon and Creighton on Wednesday night.

As fate would have it, it appears that Villanova may be shorthanded again heading into this Saturday.
