I always wondered how different that season would have been with Remy Abell, shame he couldn't get it together.

I hope I never live to see another IU basketball team that gets swept by Nebraska and loses at home to PSU and Northwestern. Man, that was awful.

Rarity for college basketball in this day in age. Why can't players take a page out of this book in terms of academics.

You mean, like numerous IU players who have a similarly good attitude?

To be fair these guys don't have the option of leaving early.

I apologize for this but you have a player of the year candidate.

I'm just saying one of those guys could end up with my vote with confidence and at 110%.

Allonzo Trier apparently a no-show for #arizonawildcats flight to Honolulu as eligibility questions continue:

NOTE:  Pascoe is a sports reporter for the Arizona DailyStar.

And shortly thereafter this from Pascoe:

HONOLULU -- Since the Arizona Wildcats didn't fly charter into some off-limits executive terminal today, anyone at Gate 16 of the Honolulu International Airport could see which folks were walking off the team's flight.

Allonzo Trier wasn't one of them.

American Airlines flight 692 from Phoenix carried eight UA scholarship players, including Talbott Denny (injured ACL) but not Dylan Smith (ineligible to travel as a transfer) nor Ray Smith (who is scheduled to undergo ACL surgery).

(Arizona's refusal to comment on anything about Trier, including over whether he would make the trip, prompted me to watch the team get off the plane. I wasn't on the team flight but arrived earlier in the day.)

The UA's traveling party also included Arizona AD Greg Byrne, senior associate AD Mike Ketcham, team doctor Donald Porter, all UA coaches and walk-on players Paulo Cruz, Jake DesJardins and Tyler Trillo.

But no Trier.

His apparent no-show was hardly a surprise. He played in the Oct. 14 Red-Blue Game, but that was only a practice in the NCAA's eyes, and UA coach Sean Miller said he's had a full complement of players available for practice.

Then Trier did not show up as scheduled for the Oct. 21 Pac-12 Media Day, and didn't play in UA's two exhibition games.

Amateurism.

Purdoo backup big Jaquil Taylor has ankle surgery, and may be out for season.

He hadn't been an especially effective player yet, but that leaves them with only four players at 6'6" or more on their team, and one of them is currently on his weed-related suspension.

Makai Mason of Yale will be out for the entire season.
