WVU PG Kerr Kriisa will miss the first 9 games of the season after admitting to receiving impermissible benefits while at Arizona https://www.bluegoldsports.com/2023/...ts-at-arizona/


Also, yesterday, Kansas State's third-leading scorer from last season was suspended indefinitely following an arrest https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...rderly-conduct

[Lobot]

I'm fuzzy on Kriisa's timeline. He was at Zona when Sean Miller was or no?

Yes. He committed to Arizona under Sean Miller and made his UA debut in February of the 2020-21 season, which was Miller's last.

But of course Sean didn't do anything unethical!!

That's a really carefully worded statment. It mentions former student-athlete and doesn't name him but only addresses current staff and coaches.

Now that he is back at his private college, anything that he does will just be swept under the rug. Also, with the free for all of college sports now, there is nothing that he cannot get away with.

Houston with a clobbering of ULM 84-31.

USC defeats K-State 82-69

I really didn't see many significant upsets on the national scoreboard except for the ACU game in the BIg XII and one Big 10 game where MSU lost a buy game to James Madison last night. Louisville almost lost one to UMBC.
