So, this just popped.  Antwon Lillard will miss the first 8 games of the season.  It is the third time that Lillard has been suspended...he missed the Oakland game with Ish Ali and then the OU game with 3 other players.  This is a long suspension.  I have no idea what happened and it doesn't really matter.  It is important to me as a BG Alum that we uphold the standards of the University and I expect Huger to do that and I think he has.

From a basketball perspective, it means BG will play its first 8 games with only 3 players with significant D1 playing experience.  Four was going to be tough, and 3 is tougher.  But there are more important things.
