Tennessee State dismissed four players from its program on Tuesday, including the team's leading scorer, at what could really be a bad time for the Tigers. The four juniors -- Erick Peguero, Darius Cox, Hamilton Nash and Josh Sain -- were dismissed for violations of team policy, and Tigers coach John Cooper stated he would not tolerate repeat violations. Cooper did not mention what rule the players had broken.
Sain, the team's leading scorer with a 13.7 points-per-game average, was already suspended once this season for four games. Cox was also a repeat offender, suspended three games this season. Cox averaged 7.5 ppg and 5.3 rebounds.

Looks like none of the suspended players played in the last game. It's already been figured into the line. I hope you are right I took a small fly on the game. $50. Good Luck to us. I am riding with you. :mj06:
Good luck to you.. Hope you win.. In my experience when players get suspended, or if a star is out for that game, play on that team. It just seems to work that way the majority of the time. Hope I am wrong..
Was thinking the same thing..........Bench players getting time to showcase & coaches not wanting to rub it in teams face....
GL
Exactly...sometimes we start over thinking games and situations when news like this comes out.
Bench players on a 4-19 team???
And a short bench at that...
Fatigue will become a factor.
GL
mate those are the games Vegas play against US
they rub in our faces the 22 points leaving the half to fuck us good
Thankfully, at the time of betting with my local, the line he gave me was 22. the 22.5 was posted much earlier.
I will consider myself lucky to get the push.
Next time may not be so eager on a game with these circumstances...
