Again hearing rumblings that Humrichous will not make the trip as is leaving the program. Hope UE makes some sort of announcement prior to the trip.

I don't know when they will fill this out, but are other Valley teams going to be part of this?

I haven’t heard that he is leaving the program, but I did hear he will be declaring for the NBA draft and opting out of the CBI. He could still come back to college if he doesn’t hire an agent. Hopefully he just announces he’s exploring NBA options and not the transfer portal & NBA draft like some do.

We play the last game on 3/24 at 4:30 pm. That means that we will have the least rest between games. At this point we need to find a way to survive and advance.
Note: Times listed appear to be eastern time.

Meh, play some good Indiana basketball, win a couple of games, try some new things. This tournament is a vacation trip for the players who sacrificed time all winter. There isn't a team in this field the Aces can't beat.

Hopefully he just announces he’s exploring NBA options and not the transfer portal & NBA draft like some do. If that’s the case; he will be back in an Aces uniform next year. Not to be too blunt but, there is no way he’s getting drafted. But other than being hurt, why would he skip the CBI? You can get hurt doing anything, if you think you will get hurt playing, then you won’t play very well ever.

Our own Marcus Wilson sat next to Ben’s dad at arch madness. Marcus blew smoke and yes he is testing NBA. With likely outcome no NBA interest, Marcus will steer him to best NIL deal. He is also in Chuck’s ear.

First of all I still don't think Ben is 100% healthy. And if he doesn't perform very well in the CBI his NBA stock will decline. Secondly, if he doesn't travel and or play in the CBI with his teammates that is disrespectful to the school,coaches,and teammates. So if he doesn't travel,adios we can find other players.

Imagine thinking “I’m not sure if I’ll play very well in the CBI, it might hurt my NBA draft stock” LOL
Make any of that make sense!

Imagine thinking “I’m not sure if I’ll play very well in the CBI, it might hurt my NBA draft stock” LOL Make any of that make sense! I don’t think that is the reasoning at all lol He hasn’t been 100% healthy since he came back, but he came back and played in all the games that matter to help the team. He’s been getting interest from NBA scouts all season, so it only makes sense to declare for the draft and get feedback from scouts. If he’s invited to workout for a team, he probably wants to be 100% healthy. Why risk reinjury for a meaningless CBI tournament when you could be rehabbing to make sure you’re 100% for an NBA tryout? He’s got one shot to make an impression in person on them, and I wouldn’t risk it if it were me. Whether you agree with that reasoning or not, I think we can all agree it’s definitely not due to a fear of playing bad in a few post season games.
