[jhedrick]

if this is old news my bad and get over it!

I have heard that Ismeal Muhammed and James White are suspended for tonight's NIT game against SC due to academics. Cincinnatti is on tri-mester I guess?

Anyways it hasn't been announced yet cos Andy Kennedy is in Ole Miss today interviewing for that job. If you didnt know he is going to get the axe as soon as the Bearcats are eliminated from the NIT.

Karl Hobbs is the leading canidate right now but Jim Larranga squeky clean past and run to the Sweet 16 may land him the j-o-b as well!!!

Good Luck tonight fellas!!!

Here Are the Details

I'm all over S. Carolina, which I got at -1. Losing their leading scorer and point guard is too much for Cinc to make up. Sometimes teams can get by losing one starter by just sucking it up, but not with two starters, one of which is Cinc leading scorer

CINCINNATI (Ticker) -- Cincinnati's road to Madison Square Garden for the NIT semifinals just got a lot longer.

The school announced Thursday that senior starters James White and Jihad Muhammad have been declared ineligible for continued participation in postseason competition.

The ruling comes down hours before the Bearcats host defending NIT champion South Carolina with a trip to the semifinals on the line.

Due to federal privacy law, the university is prohibited from releasing further details without consent from the players.

"We have suspended the players indefinitely for failure to meet the standards set forth by the NCAA and the men's basketball program at the University of Cincinnati," Cincinnati interim coach Andy Kennedy said. "Our team will continue in its attempt to represent this university in the manner with which it deserves to be represented."

"The timing of this action, with our team battling for a trip to the NIT Final Four, is incredibly unfortunate," athletic director Mike Thomas said. "I am very disappointed in how this affects the student-athletes, our coaching staff, the university and our fans."

White, a 6-7 swingman, is the Bearcats' leading scorer, averaging 16.3 points. He has averaged 20.3 points over his last three games and has scored nearly 1,100 points during his three seasons with Cincinnati.

Muhammad, a 5-11 guard, is the team's fourth-leading scorer, averaging 10.8 points. He averaged 13.0 points and 7.0 assists in Cincinnati's two NIT victories.
