The Flyers may have to ad-lib again at Charlotte today. Junior guard Marcus Johnson missed practice Friday and Saturday with a stomach virus, and his status for the key Atlantic 10 game won't be determined until the 1 p.m. tipoff.
Johnson was given intravenous fluids Saturday but felt well enough to eat at the team dinner and participate in a shoot-around at Halton Arena here Saturday night. He's the Flyers' second-leading scorer at 12.0 points per game and the team's top 3-point shooter and defender.
Backup point guard Stephen Thomas also has the flu and didn't make the trip. The virus has been going around the UD campus, and the student health center has been flooded with those seeking relief.
If Johnson isn't 100 percent, junior Mickey Perry, who is averaging 3.3 points while shooting 35.8 percent from the field, would likely move into the starting lineup.
"I think he's feeling a lot better," Gregory said of Johnson. "I think (trainer Nate Seymour) and the doctors have done a good job of getting him completely hydrated. We'll see how he feels tomorrow morning.
"We're not going to take a chance with him if he's not 100 percent. We play too many games in too short a time."
