THE CARROLL BASKETBALL PROGRAM WAS EXPECTING BIG THINGS THIS SEASON.
...THEY BROUGHT BACK THE MAJORITY OF LAST YEAR'S NATIONAL TOURNEY TEAM...AND ALSO ADDED WHAT THEY THOUGHT WOULD BE KEY PIECES.

SO FAR THIS SEASON THE SAINTS ARE 7-5...BUT THINGS JUST GOT A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT.

SENIOR BYAGO DIOUF AND SOPHOMORE POINT GUARD NICK JONES ARE DECLARED ACADEMICALLY INELIGIBLE AND WILL NOT PLAY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON...
DOOF WAS THE TEAMS STRONGEST DEFENDER AND AVERAGED NINE POINTS A GAME AS DID JONES...

*Reported By: Dominic Shelden
NOT ONLY THAT BUT THEY LOSE JUNIOR TRANSFER JORDAN WEIRICK WHO WAS THE TEAM'S SECOND LEADING SCORER AT JUST UNDER TWELVE A GAME AS CARROLL DISMISSES HIM FROM THE PROGRAM...

WE ALSO SHOULD MENTION THAT BOTH BYAGO DIOUF AND NICK JONES WERE ACADEMICALLY ELIGBLE BY N-A-I-A STANDARDS....
BUT BECAUSE CARROLL MAINTAINS HIGHER THAN REQUIRED STANDARDS NATIONALLY...
THEY ARE DONE FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON
