Northwestern's Aaron Falzon: Dealing with hip ailment

Falzon is day-to-day with a hip flexor injury that has forced him to miss the team's first two games, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Falzon was injured for much of last season, but started 29 of 32 games and produced averages of 8.4 points and 3.4 rebounds two years ago. He was expected to serve as the starting power forward heading into his junior year, but those starts have gone to Gavin Skelly in his absence. The team is playing it safe with Falzon for now, but it sounds like this isn't a long-term concern, and he should be considered a game-time call for Wednesday's matchup against Creighton.
