If he says "banking board" again I'm hitting mute.

Sloppy stretch.

There's the zone again.

He's the best 14 year old announcer in Highland Heights.

They don't look Scandinavian.

Dawson came in for Sammy.

Looked like a 2-3 matchup zone for the Zips there for a minute.

Scott and Thornton first subs in, for Greg and Ali. Dawson on his way in.

Pretty high energy and quick pace so far.

Wow, Ali at guard with Tribble. No Thornton or Scott. Ali, Greg, Enrique, Nate and Sammy.

If we could only get the citizens of Summit County to agree. 😡

Cost the kid 8 games and cost the taxpayers. Schmucks.

The Norse lost at Illinois State Wednesday to fall to 5-4.

Game day! Let's go whoop up on some "Medieval North Germanic ethnolinguistic group ancestral to modern Scandinavians."

I've told this story on here before, but hell, I'm old, I can repeat stories. Back in August, I went to the breakfast/practice and send off for the team to the Puerto Rico tournament. I sat down courtside and at some point Groce and Ali came over to me and I had a very brief conversation with Ali where I said "welcome back" and he responded "it's good to be back." I could tell from the manner and tone in which he said it that he REALLY meant it. I couldn't be happier for the kid now, especially after seeing the emotion in his response in the video. I was a little bitter when he left but given his very obvious affection for the team and program, I am very happy for him and glad to have him back. I'm also happy for Groce as he obviously really likes the kid on more than just a basketball level.

Not sure yet, but I am sure they will do it selflessly as there's no I in team.

Miami's Graham Nicholson won the Lou Groza Award for the nation's best kicker.

There was a point late last year where Sammy moved to the bench. I don't suspect that's going to happen here. Nate seems to be the most logical move to the bench. That would leave a bench of Dawson, Nate, Thornton/Scott, Tavari and Lyles. I think Tavari may be the odd guys out as the rotation thins as the season progresses.

The starting five against Bradley was Tribble, Scott, Nate, Hunter and Enrique, so I suspect Scott was practicing well. He was decent against Bradley but they really made their run with Thornton in, so you may be right!

So guys, what's your best guess for a starting lineup now that Ali is back?

Funny, litigation starts and the NCAA allows him to play. This tells me that they: 1) realize they were wrong or 2) are gutless ****ies who caved to pressure rather than stand on principle. Either is a bad look for the entity that's supposed to be governing intercollegiate sports.

Just seeing his reaction tells you all you need to know.

Finally some good out of a public official. Even a temporary restraining order could possibly get him on the floor for the rest of the season until the matter is determined on its merits. I know that Yost also had some role in the Bandaogo matter.

They're going to call it the Bill Self Subdivision as he's been doing this **** for years with nothing more than a slap on the wrist. This is a move by the NCAA to stave off the big schools breaking away entirely and setting up their own rule structure.
