Topping this morning's readaround, word from Worcester on an injury to a key Holy Cross reserve.

Jen Toland of the Telegram & Gazette reports Holy Cross sophomore big man Eric Meister will miss four to six weeks after breaking a bone in his left hand. Meister's injury is similar to one suffered last season by Pat Doherty.

Meister has been playing almost 20 minutes a game, spelling center Tim Clifford and four-man Alex Vander Baan. He has averaged 5 points and 4.6 rebounds per game.
