Chris Jones has been dismissed from the Louisville basketball team.

And while you were reading that sentence, he was reinstated.

Matt Jones @KySportsRadio  ·  1 hour ago
Chris Jones quit the team at Christmas...he was allowed back on and then was part of a fight at 4th Street last Saturday

As for why Chris Jones was brought back for one Game and then dismissed, my guess is UL folks know fight will soon be made public

The fight at 4th Street was reason for suspension for Syracuse game...either it is about to go public or Jones did something else last night

Joe Gerth @Joe_Gerth  ·  26 minutes ago
Good news for Chris Jones. Bobby Petrino will probably take him.

Q: What does the Llama have in common with this year's UNC, Duke, UofL & IU basketball teams? A: Back to back "L"s.

The white llama cannot be contained.

Air15 video showed the llamas evading capture for nearly an hour, dodging captors and running along neighborhood streets before eventually being caught.

Pitino worried that Jones arrest may hurt UofL "brand." Umm, the UofL "brand" is adulterers, criminals & liars. Not sure it can get worse.

Writers calling Jahlil Okafor "Jah" is almost as annoying as UL fans referring to all UL players by their 1st names. Stop it, all of you.

I bet that student writer that Pitino belittled the other day is enough of "an X's and O's genius" to guard the inbounds pass.

The Notre Dame-Butler winner is officially the best team in Indiana.

(Purdue is 3rd.)

(Valpo is 4th.)

(IU is "others receiving votes.")

No SEC team has lost to a lower seed yet. Not so for the Big Ten, Big 12 & ACC.

Technically, this makes the SEC America's best conference.

The licking of Devin Booker's car can be explained the same way LSU's #1 recruiting class can be explained: teenagers do dumb things.

UL claims ACC's 2nd biggest Spring Game crowd of "23,187." Dunno if this says more about the ACC or UL's math skills.

There was speculation Jaylen Brown would play overseas so nobody would see him play & his draft stock wouldn't drop. Mission accomplished.
