Graduate center Micheal Eric reinjured his right patella and will be out for six weeks.

Eric reinjured his right knee during the men’s basketball team’s practice last Friday. Eric will sit out the Owls’ (3-1) away game today at 2 p.m. against Bowling Green.

It is the same injury that kept Eric from competing in the team’s remaining 10 games last season.

This season Eric ranks fourth on the team in scoring (10.5 ppg.) and leads the Atlantic Ten Conference in rebounding (11.3 per game).
