Wouldn't that be nice.

Well he certainly earned it, I couldn't believe that he wasn't ejected from the game

Unfortunately, this news won't help the team much with its perimeter defense as Stone is strictly a low post player.

Still have Trimble, Sulaimon, Carter, Chivosky, and Layman, but Stone would've destroyed our bigs

Hot Take: We still lose.

I totally agree. I called this suspension at the time. It will make the game a little more interesting.

Our chances just went from 2% to something far great than 2%. Maybe 20%?

So you're telling me there's a chance.

Have we had weirdly good luck with teams' top players sitting out against us? Michigan State with no Valentine, Purdue with no Swanigan, Michigan with no LeVert, Maryland with no Stone, Rutgers with no Sanders.

Would they have suspended him if they were playing someone other than us?

He would have appealed it.

 

[Holy Man]

Very good point. Doubtful.

Very good point. Doubtful.

Depends if the conference, NCAA or the team suspended him? Honestly don't know how that works. Seems like if it's for something in a game it would come from a third party

Every article I've seen says that the school suspended him.

Maryland did suspend him. Generally speaking in these situations, schools suspend the kid on their own so the conference offices don't have to do it for them. It's pretty embarrassing when that happens. The schools can save (some) face when they take the initiative.
