Friday Is Next Step In U Of L's Ncaa Case

... has 30-to-45 days to review the information submitted by both the NCAA's enforcement staff and the institution before holding a hearing. U of L Athletics Director Tom Jurich told the school's Athletic Association in January that the case could go into the early summer months. The committee hearing is a lot like court with both sides making oral arguments to a panel of judges. "It’s at the hearing where the Committee on Infractions, theoretically having read the notice of allegations and all the parties’ responses and the enforcement staff’s reply, asks questions of people attending the hearing and then issues its decision," Stuart Brown, an Atlanta-based attorney who has worked on NCAA cases, said in January. U of L has the option to appeal whatever the Committee on Infractions decides, which ...

Grades For Thursday's First-round Winners; Nova B

... nine at halftime but saw that edge evaporate as the Wildcats caught fire from deep in the second half. As they lost the lead, and eventually the game, there were a handful of empty possessions that made Virginia look like a team that was lacking offensive options in those half-court, crunch-time moments. London Perrantes and Marial Shayok changed that narrative on Thursday, rallying UVA from 15 down with 47 combined points vs. UNC Wilmington. Those players assuming those roles at this time is huge, and good news for Tony Bennett should the Cavaliers meet up with Villanova later in the tournament. (4) Florida Gators: C. 80-65 over (13) East Tennessee State. Devin Robinson is, and has been, a phenomenal talent and capable of having a long and productive career at the next level. Against East Tennessee State, the dominated above the rim and led the Gators with 24 points, ...

The Ncaa Tournament Teams That Can Actually Pull Off Some Upsets

... finding each other on quick cuts through the lane with tough, short-range passes. Ernie Duncan is the team’s three-point specialist, hitting 2.1 per game, and he’s joined by forward Anthony Lamb as the only two Catamounts to hit at least 40 percent of their treys. Lamb doubles as the team’s leading scorer, putting in 12.1 points per game, and he’s backed by fellow forward Payton Henson and guard Trae Bell-Haynes, the only other two teammates averaging double digit scoring. Head coach John Becker’s team doesn’t take a ton of shots, but the Catamounts are insanely efficient, draining 49.6 percent of their shots, which ranks ninth in the nation. They really make their money on defense, where they hold opposing teams to 61.6 points per game, good for 11 th-best in the nation. The Catamounts are not going to blow anyone out, and should they face a team used to hanging 80 points per night, that will likely be all she wrote. But they’re in the ...

Villanova Awakens And Cruises In Ncaa Opener

... largest margin in the first half. Brunson scored 10 of his 14 points in the half, including a layup that gave the Cats a 30-29 lead at the break. Di Vincenzo, a redshirt freshman, took over in the second, scoring 15 of his 21 points. He also contributed a career-high 13 rebounds, posting his first double-double. "My job off the bench is just to bring energy, focus on defending and rebounding," he said. "The offense came tonight after just pushing it on offense, after getting a rebound. So if I just focus on that, all of the offense will come.". Di Vincenzo scored the Wildcats' first points after a 7-0 start for the Mount, which answered with Elijah Long's three-ball by Elijah Long for 10-2. But the Cats hit 12 of their last 22 shots, took their first lead with 1 minute, 22 seconds left in the half, and turned it on in the ...

Ncaa Case Tied To Unc Academics Hits Delay

... after he sent those documents. "We are working with the NCAA to obtain access to the investigative file and develop a schedule for her to be interviewed," Abrams said. "We understand it's a big development in the case, and look forward to an opportunity to answer questions the NCAA may have.". It's unclear how long the delay will be. In an email to the AP on Wednesday afternoon, NCAA spokeswoman Emily James said UNC had requested "a short extension' to its 90-day deadline to file a response before Crowder's affidavit emerged. "In the interest of allowing all parties time to handle the new information and to allow an appropriate amount of time for the panel to review the information before a hearing, the schedule will be adjusted,' James said in a statement. "As in all cases, it is important to the panel to have a complete record so it can determine the facts of the case. The ...

Trash Talk Adds To Hype As Rutgers' Ashnault Meets Princeton's Kolodzik

... scored the winning takedown with only eight seconds remaining in a 4-3 victory that stunned the home crowd. But Kolodzik said he thought the score was tied in the waning seconds that day - thus the reason he didn't show much urgency until pouncing. The late third-period takedown has become his trademark as a redshirt freshman. "I can't do math despite being an engineer (major)," he said. "It was exciting. Especially (redshirt) freshman year, it's one of those things where the nerves in managing that is an obstacle. "Like anything else, it's something that I'm going to power through and figure out. Having gone through that - especially with the outdoor match where it's something big - now I'm pretty confident that we're in a big arena but I can handle it.". BRACKETS:  125 |  133 |  141 |  149 |  157 |  165 |  174 |  184 |  197 | 285. There was some trash talk involved in Ashnault's second win Thursday, as  he beat Pletcher for the third time in ...

Purdue Coach Sharon Versyp Deflects Focus On Her Battle With Cancer

... It's about a team,” Versyp said Thursday. “It's all about them right now.”. Purdue (22-12) won seven in a row before losing to Maryland, 74-64, in the Big Ten Conference tournament championship game, a winning streak the Boilermakers needed to earn an NCAA berth. Versyp, who was diagnosed in February, waited until after the Boilermakers were finished with the Big Ten tourney this month to tell her players. “I didn't want them worrying or having any other mission than what they deserved,” she said. “When you hear the word cancer, it's shocking and everyone gets a little off kilter.”. But she said with a nearly two-week wait for the NCAA tournament, with the Boilermakers not even sure they would be in, it was time to let the players know. She said even though she told her players her prognosis was good, they still were emotional when they were told and several players were distraught. “We were all just so emotional and so sad,” junior guard Andreona Keys said. “We said: `We have ...
