BG v Norfolk State: Welcome Back Antwon Lillard!

[Siborg]

Carbon copy of the SJSU game with slightly bigger lead swings. Start out 21-2, extend to a 23 point lead followed by an NSU run to end the half. Lose the lead (tie) then gradually pull away partly by making free throws.

Question: When a player is suspended, does he still practice with the team? If not, maybe Lillard is a little rusty although this would have been a good game to get his feet wet.

This suspension was issued by Huger so I assume he can practice. Huger could also rescind or extend the suspension at any time. I believe if it's a suspension issued by the conference then he isn't allowed to participate in any team activities.

If I were the coach and suspended a player, I wouldn’t have them do anything at practice except play scout team. You need your players that are actually playing to practice together.

I would also assume he would count the exhibition game because it wasn't an exhibition game for us.

Has there been any further info on why Lillard didn't play at NSU? I know per the BGMBB and Lillard's twitter that he was ready to go, so I'm curious if Huger or anyone else has commented on it.

[gmartin]

No comment whatsoever. I listened to the broadcast and nothing was mentioned and nothing mentioned after the game. We will need him against Evansville. That will be our toughest game.

[It's the Journey...]

Perhaps being available and not being quite out of the dog house are different things. He may still need to earn his way back onto the floor.

I bet you're right, it looks like Evansville is pretty good. I hope we see him out there.

The entire program is veiled in secrecy....

Did Turner get hurt? I don't believe he played the last 10 minutes or so.
