On location: Pitt 78, Niagara 45

Niagara has 3300 undergraduates. Notable alumni include: Venerable Nelson Baker, a priest who is a candidate for canonization (how many schools will Pitt play with potential saints ?!); Sal Maglie, "the barber" went there and learned to own

Heard Durand Johnson was suspended for the entire season. Why?

Very surprised to hear a very familiar voice doing play-by-play on this game. But I can't for the life of me put a finger on who it is. A lottle help?

Wow, Newkirk with the two-handed jam.

Not good, Durand.

Already sick of Kentucky. (Flipping channels.)

VCU opens with a 85-69 throttling of Temnessee. Shaka seems to have a nice squad again.

DK hearing the Johnson suspension is grades related. This isn't North Carolina, you have to go to class.

Problem #813 for college coaches. Two telephone calls college coaches dread most: 1. Academic adviser. 2. Any call at 2:00 AM.
