I know it's on Fox Sports but a west coast game on this early on a weekday is weird but I guess that's Covid.
UNLV rescinded its scholarship to Top Fifty recruit, Zaon Collins, who had turned down Arizona, ASU and USC to play for T.J. Otzelberger. He has been arrested for driving 100 mph, under the influence of a controlled substance and being in the possession of marijuana. The driver of the other car was killed. He is a Bishop Gorman student.

LJ Figueroa just twisted his ankle coming down from a rebound. Limped off the court w/ help from others. Looked like it was hurting bad.

Very good player. And, he was very underrecruited due to his intial commikment for lacrosse. Played agianst the hgihest HS competition and excelled. Not really a surprise.
ESPN - have patience with college coaches Smart/Texas also Gtown mention -
Patrick Ewing, [URL]https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/46/georgetown-hoyas[/URL]]Georgetown[/url] (52-54, fourth season)
It's never a good look when multiple players leave a program. Decisions made by [URL]http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4397071/mac-mcclung[/URL]]Mac McClung[/url], [URL]http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4397072/james-akinjo[/URL]]James Akinjo[/url] and other former Georgetown players only encouraged doubts about the stability around Ewing and his team. Combine that with a 3-8 start this season -- on the heels of last year's 15-17 finish -- and the emotions and angst are understandable. But it's also important to know why the Hoyas hired Ewing: to extend the reach and impact of the Georgetown brand.
Signing five-star prospect [URL]http://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/234854/aminu-mohammed[/URL]]Aminu Mohammed[/url] (No. 18 in the 2021 class) and two other four-star recruits for next season suggests Ewing's name still carries weight. When he took the job, the No. 1 question about him centered on his ability to walk into living rooms around the country and convince kids who didn't see him play in the NBA to join him at Georgetown. The latest class suggests he can still do that. That's why the real scrutiny should come next season, once the team reloads with a strong recruiting class.

Ewing (or Louis Orr, or both) does a very solid job of coaching. That team has virtually no players but has been in almost every game all year. The record is going to be very ugly, though. The question for next season is how quickly he will be able to get a roster full of newcomers acclimated - sort of the same issue we have this year.
