The word from Chicago is that forward Korvotney Barber broke his nose during practice Wednesday. The senior will still play tonight in the Tigers' game against Dayton in the Chicago Invitational but might have to wear a protective mask.

Barber leads the team with 14.5 ppg and is second with 5.0 rpg.

His 2007-08 season was cut short by a broken hand after 10 games.
