ISU MBB Twitter

Good to know. That will end speculation and hand-wringing.

General comment, directed to the CycloneFanatic tweet. Based on info I've gathered, it wasn't truly a visa "issue," more of a delay in receiving the paperwork. "Issue" suggests there was a dispute over validity, et. al.

In recent years, I've noticed writers tend to use "issue" when they actually mean "situation" or (in some cases) "topic."

Sorry for sidetrack-soapboxing.
I completely agree on the overuse of the word "issue" in headlines. And other language that present things as worse or more problematic than they are.

If you'll indulge me on the language sidetrack. Etc. is probably the correct choice in your sentence. Et alii in Latin roughly means "and others" and is typically used to shorten a list of people. Also, there is no period after et in et al. since only the second Latin word is being abbreviated.

Good point, "etc." is more appropriate for what I wrote.

I think I've been mis-punctuating et al for ... a while. Good reminder.
 
Don't think I've ever seen KU ranked that low ever. They're No. 33, not even in the top 25. When's the last time KU entered a basketball season unranked? Has the rot started to settle in with Self?

For AP Poll, based on quick research, the most-recent season KU was unranked in preseason was 1988-89.

That happened to be the "postseason ban," season due to Larry Brown's ability to cheat, actually get caught, but be "somewhere else" when sanctions come.
 
This is Batemon, correct? He is wearing #2, but roster has him as #1. Mason Williams is assigned #2. Did Batemon get it since Williams is out this season?

That’s Nelson, not Batemon.

Thay smile and game reminds me of Curtis.

Agree.

Looks like they aren't using official numbers on the jerseys.

cyclones.com has Nelson #11. Batemon #1. Williams #2

I don't think he plays anything like Curtis. He's not a shooter.
Almost exact same height and weight and Curtis could drive, its just that he was a great 3pt shooter that overshadowed that.
He took over running the lane at that huge win we had at Tech.
