Here is a nice article about Jay Harris that also does a good job of detailing his current injury:

Let's hope he is back soon, as he is really needed.
Since starting point guard Erik Buggs has often been in foul trouble, that's important to the Crusaders. Then, add the fact that Harris is so good at the foul line it makes him even more valuable in late games that are close. Harris made a team-best 94.9 percent of his free throws last year and has made 85 percent (29 of 34) this season, which is also best on the team. Buggs makes just 54 percent from the line.
Yet against Butler in a very close back and forth game Erik Buggs hit 2 very important free throws to help Valpo and Jay Harris missed 3 out of 4 free throws when it really counted.
