And I believe Tony Skynn like punched his girlfriend in the face the day or two before and got into a fight. But the coaching staff and school was like yea let him play.

Or I could be wrong. Pretty heavy acquisition to be slinging around these days, so maybe I’m off the deep end.

If not him, one of their guys was suspeded for nut-punching another player right before their tournament. I think missing him cost them a game but the NCAA was nice to the team and counted it less, as if it were an injury.

EDIT: I see you found the story. And that I was off about part of the consequences.

Yep - they lost to Hofstra in the semi’s and there was some debate whether they should be in at all with an at-large bid.

It's hard to imagine that team getting in now. Obviously the NET didn't exist, but I'm relatively certain they had a high RPI. Looks like maybe 26 going into Selection Sunday depending on when it had last been updated and mid-30s in February. The Colonial seems to have gamed the RPI since they had a number of Top 50 and Top 100 teams in it by RPI. By KenPom, though, it wasn't nearly as good, and a road win v. Wichita State (24) was their only Q1 win. It's a thoroughly unimpressive resume. Which tells you, perhaps, but the value of these resumes are for determining the quality of a team...
