Enjoy your Tuesday. You don’t need me to tell what’s happening tonight and what’s coming next Tuesday.

This isn’t just a college basketball thing, but there are reports athletes from everywhere will be able to profit on their likeness going forward. Just saw a report on the news. Amateurism as we know it will be over. This could get interesting.

Not a lot of info yet. You are correct, this will have huge ramifications.

Just wanted to say before we start the new season it’s always a pleasure talking hoops with almost all the posters on this board. Not sure how many years it’s been but this board is a part of my college basketball routine each year. So to my BtownBanners family enjoy the start of the IU season tonight. There will be instances this year where some of us will not see eye to eye on our Hoosiers but in the end we all have the same goal (I hope) for the Hoosiers to be as successful as possible. Ups and downs I will be here with this basketball team.
If you are new here or a lurker feel free to stop by The college basketball thread when the season starts. Even when the Hoosiers are not playing there will always be a great group of posters around in this thread talking hoops. Morning, Day or even PAC12 after dark we will be here. My wife thanks this place so I have a place to go and talk with other hoops junkies during games and I’m not talking her ear off about Vermont being a sleeper sweet 16 team.

BREAKING: #Illini forward Tevian Jones has been suspended indefinitely due to a violation of team academic policies.

Jones received a suspension last season as well for a violation of team rules.

____________________________________________________________________________

Y'all may think "who the heck is that?", but Jones is a hyper -talented 6'7" small forward (kinda a Troy Williams skill set) who was slated to play real minutes this year for an Illini team that is already really shallow up front. So in a B1G pecking order sense this matters a bit.

 

Help! What does ‘suspended indefinitely’ even mean now days?  It sounds like someone would be kicked off the team permanently or damn well near it, but in reality seems to be more like ‘until everyone forgets so we can say we did something about it’. Like didn’t Grayson Allen get suspended indefinitely a few times during his intentional tripping benders - only to go take a quick leak and then get reinstated by K? Only time it goes the other way is when there is smoking gun criminal evidence against the offender.

‘ Suspended indefinitely’ for an expo game, and the first cupcake!! I bet Boehiem reported him and is whining like a Donkey on the indefiniteness of the suspension. Williard couldn’t  have tampered with a more deserving team!

Not sure what this means at Illinois. At NC it would mean he was dumb enough to take a real class.

Saw a little of Nebrasketball versus 1,000 student NAIA Doane College.

Nebraska won by 28, but only after being down a good part of the first half; at the ten minute mark Nebraska was up 15-13.

They were playing a Doane team that was 9-21 last year in NAIA, and was coming off a recent 14 point loss to Waldorf College (that Waldorf team recently lost to "Dordt University" by 37) and an eight point loss to the University of the Virgin Islands (a team which, apparently does not ...for real... have an indoor basketball gym, but hey, it's the Virgin Islands, so...).

• Nebraska opens at home against Big West mega-doormat UC Riverside. If they can't win that one... 
• I know we took a while to roll over D2 Gannon, but if Nebraska isn't the worst team in the B1G this year...

Illinois down 11 with 8 left in the first in their exhibition game against Lewis.

 

Edit- with a little over 6 left in first half, the Iwhini have 17 points. If not for 2 quick 3s by Frazier it is only 11 points

Might as well fire Underwood at halftime. The Illinois bball program will never recover from a bad first half exhibition game, right? #fireeveryone

Yikes, that's a rough looking mugshot.

There’s always been “good Troy” and “bad Troy” on the court.

Off the court? Mostly bad Troy.

Somewhere, Luke Fischer is smiling.

Not necessarily. There are people that have played a lot longer in the NBA and made a lot more money doing it than Troy Williams has that are flat broke.
