Rockets say they expect Howell to play

3/9/2007

Toledo's SID Steve Easton tells me this morning the same thing he told me last night during the Akron-Central Michigan game, that Keonta Howell is expected to play tonight against Miami. Howell injured his foot in the second half Thursday against Eastern Michigan and did not return.

Of course, it would be standard operating procedure for some teams to say the player is going to play so it doesn't give away a competitive advantage. We'll just have to wait and see tonight.
