So many people I lost respect for during that shite storm. But Bilas is the GOAT for going against the grain unlike every other media member.

A little further research into this makes it seem unlikely. While he never played an NBA game he did sign a 2-way and 10-day contract, which is what the NCAA kept saying was the reason Nnaji was deemed eligible (not signing a contract). I'd argue it far worse to allow a near first-round draft pick eligibility, but with the flack they caught I'd be shocked if they directly contradict themselves.

Wasn't there another guy who played in 6 NBA games?

James Nnaji who played summer league NBA games (not treated the same as regular season NBA in regards to college eligibility). But he was also a professional basketball player in Europe. Now playing for Baylor but the Knicks hold his rights and could sign him/call him up to the NBA at any time.

None of it makes sense any more. Chuck has a case because the NCAA holds no power anymore and if they do try and litigate they will probably lose like they have been.

But he did sign a contract to play professional basketball. It was just overseas. And that's got to be the crux of Chuck's argument. The NCAA can't dictate which professional league counts and which doesn't.

Alabama will likely have Latrell Wrightsell back tomorrow against Tennessee, source told @TheFieldOf68.

Wrightsell (10.8 ppg) has missed the last 3 games with a groin injury. He's battled numerous injuries this season after coming back from a torn Achilles he suffered last season.

People like Todd Golden and Pearl condemning eligibility rule skirting is like Nero yelling about jaywalking.

Just the usual I'm sure. I have no idea if this is NBA style load management or the most injury prone roster in history, but it's not great either way.

Maybe our entire team got an NiL deal with Druid City Hospital

Biz left after the game last Saturday messing with his wrist. TBB’s hand was all wrapped up too, but it appears that he was ok.

I'd take the parking pass if you're willing to part with it and don't have any luck with finding someone for the tickets. We have season tickets up in the corner.

Sorry you can't make it out.

Looks like you are the winner. Tickets are on row 6, almost mid court if you want them. And I would need a cell number to send them. Shows not many Ala basketball fans on this site.
