Lol, if Bubu didn't want to play, why would he have dragged this out so long? He does, but he won't. And I'm perfectly fine with it.

Hmmm. Could be BuBu very much wanted to play until JP and Leath went media. Could be he told Fred he was ok with not playing since it would put Fred in the terrible position of having to go against his bosses. Could be he loves to play basketball and be with his teammates, even if he doesn't play in games. Could be he's looking into getting another year someplace else. Could be he's still trying to get justice for being treated differently than other ISU athletes that have got into trouble, some convicted. Could be he's trying to clear his name after having it drug thru the mud for so long. Plenty of reasons this has been drug out for so long, but the main reason is Leath reversed the appeals law judge and kicked him off a second time after this appeared to be all over and done with. Funny stuff, huh?

The best time to let our bench seniors get their time on Senior Day is at the start of the game. Our first five minutes is unproductive even when we're playing well. Give Bubu and Tyler the spotlight of the starting announcement and put them on the floor at tip in place of Monte and Hogue. If they're a liability then replace them at the first dead ball. If they're holding their own, let them have their minutes.

tl;dr Give them their spotlight and get it out of the way early.

So does Bubu get a framed jersey and announcement before the game for senior night? Weird situation.

For the record, I would have liked to see Bubu get playing time after rejoining the team this year.
