INDIANAPOLIS (AP) _ Butler center Matt Howard could miss Monday
night's championship game with a head injury.
Coach Brad Stevens says Howard will not practice Sunday and will
be a game-time decision for the national title game against Duke.
Stevens would not say whether Howard was diagnosed with a
concussion.
Howard hit his head on the floor in Saturday's game after
colliding with two other players. He left the game, returned
briefly, then left again because he wasn't feeling well.
If Howard cannot play, it would leave the Bulldogs without their
best post player. Howard is averaging 11.8 points and 5.3 rebounds
and was the 2008-09 Horizon League player of the year.
