First, the news:
No Kunkel tonight. Xavier’s going to need KyKy Tandy and Desmond Claude to step up in the backcourt. https://t.co/jUbW8GPptx

Kunkel took a blow to the head while being called for his fourth foul against Duke. He was not able to return to that game, and he's apparently still feeling the effects of it today. He and his 11.5 PPG will be out for the game against Gonzaga tonight.
To be honest, there's not much of a battle for Kunkel's spot.
