Notes

Remember when I mentioned  awhile back that Shabazz Muhammad, the best high school basketball player in the country last year was ineligible to play for UCLA THIS season because he accepted airfair and lodging from a family friend to visit extra division one schools? It's all been fixed.

He missed the first three games of UCLA's season and that will be his official punishment as long as his parents pay back the $1600 in expenses to their family friend. I'm glad everybody was reasonable. The kid and his family broke the rules, but his life shouldn't be over because of it. Here's hoping he has a very long basketball career.

I watched part of the Wolves game last night, but it just wasn't the same. Injuries have caught up to the squad. Nine players can't play well enough, game after game, without wearing out. The Wolves have four days off before their next game. They're hoping that Barea and Pekovic and their foot/ankle problems will be healed by the next time they play. The whole team needs some rest.
