Off-Broadway Debut: Though Devin Harris is considered to be a “game time decision” for New Jersey tonight, it certainly looks like the Nets expect him to make his debut for them this evening.

Sick Trojans? Valuable point guard Daniel Hackett is expected to return for USC at Arizona tonight, but how much he’ll play is unknown. Note that he’s dealing more than back issues, as Hackett missed practice yesterday with flu-like symptoms. Coach Tim Floyd missed practice with the same symptoms. Will more Trojans be battling a bug this evening?

PC Alert: Arkansas State plays a home game as the Indians for the last time ever this evening. Replacing their coach last week and suffering through a lengthy losing streak, don’t expect a giant groundswell of crowd support and emotion to help ASU this evening.

Panther Problems: Marcus Skinner is a strong rebounder for a Wisconsin-Milwaukee team that has had a lot of attrition on the front line. He is unlikely to play tonight against Loyola-Chicago due to a high ankle sprain. His backup had a big night in a loss to Valpo on Monday, but had played only 113 minutes all season prior to that.
