This was the first game that the Memphis Tigers played since their teammate and the number one recruit in the country, James Wiseman, announced that he was withdrawing from the University of Memphis and that he would no longer be playing for the Tigers. Wiseman said he was going to be preparing for the NBA draft in 2020.

James Wiseman has been declared "likely ineligible" by the NCAA

James Wiseman, a star center on the University of Memphis men's basketball team, has been declared "likely ineligible" by the NCAA.

That news came out shortly before the game started Friday evening against UIC.

Wiseman played anyway, awaiting his day in court.

The story has been picked up all over the country. I was shooting the game for the Associated Press. Here is what they all are saying along with a photo gallery from the game. (Photos ©Karen Pulfer Focht/Associated Press)
