But here's what I think..that just maybe TB might not start as it would be consistent with a pattern of discipline that we've seen the past year and a half...that players with off court issues haven't been starting the subsequent next couple games.
Of course this is NOT a pattern we've seen much elsewhere in the Valley, although notably Chris Lowery at SIU did bench Carlton Fay for their exhibition following an off court issue.
Also, reports are that WE is doing great in scrimmages and so are CR and EM...and that a couple players are banged up...
So, if I have to guess a lineup at this time, I'd go with WE CR AW DD EM.



Here are some more scores of interest in early season games and exhibitions...

Future Bradley road opponent Northern Illinois beat Marygrove College (Michigan) 120-70. I had never heard of Marygrove, but they also lost at Central Michigan by 47, so they must not be a powerhouse. Does it really do a team any good to face an exhibition opponent that's likely no better than a scout team made up of some kids on campus plus a few of your walk ons??
Anyway, the top scorers were Xavier Silas (24 points) and Mike DiNunno (17 pts).

Another future BU opponent, Iowa State, clobbered UNC-Pembroke 106-54...again, I ask how can this help anyone to beat some poor opponent by 52 and end up playing your walk ons for big minutes?
Iowa State had a 50 pt lead by halftime!
Oddly, UNC-Pembroke almost equalled Iowa State in rebounding 47-43.
One time BU recruit, LA Pomlee, who has already redshirted a year, was the last player off the bench and scored just 4 pts in 14 minutes, but even walk ons got decent minutes and 15 different players got at least 5 minutes of play, with 13 of them getting in the scorebook.
Here are the real stat of the games - Iowa State 14 steals, UNCP 27 turnovers, and points off turnovers: Iowa State 42 - UNCP 7.

DePaul played Chicago U. and they don't have much of a basketball team...
Chicago U shot just 27% and DePaul won 81-36....
DePaul's starters all played pretty good minutes (up to 27 min) and it's pretty obvious that DePaul's hopes ride on Koshwal & Walker.
The two backup centers that amount to just about the only help they'll get if Koshwal goes down, Faber and Obi) amounted for just 4 points.
DePaul also went to the FT line 20 times and made only 9 - so that is going to be a problem, Koshwal was 2-6.

Darian Norris' new school, Salt Lake CC, won against some amateur team named Pro Look 101-76 with Darian netting 19.

-- Josh Harrelson only 10 min, 3 pts...he's one of the only Billy Gillispie leftovers, so what's he doing staying when it's obvious he won't play there!)

Indiana has their Hall of Fame and inducts Bobby Knight despite the fact that he has continued to snub the school, the staff at the school, and the fans repeatedly. Every effort to get Knight to come to the school was snubbed, and Knight never even bothered to publicly acknowledge the honor they were trying to give him.
Add to that he sued the school and won't settle even though alumni got together and came up with enough cash to pay Bobby off for what he was asking...but Knight still snubbed them.
Oh - well, if those fans want to honor this guy so badly that they appreciate having crap thrown in their faces by the very guy their are trying to worship as this man has done to so many for so long...then I guess they deserve the guy.
In fact they really deserve all the stuff that's gone on down there the past couple years snice the lust for 5-Star talenmt and wins more than they care about decency, civility, and honesty.
