“Timing is everything, and the timing is not right for our team to continue the season in any of these tournaments. We have some guys dealing with some personal things off the court... Jamarion Sharp's mother is in critical care. He did an amazing job the last couple weeks of the season with the pressure and everything he had going on with his family off the court. I wanted to personally thank Sharp for his commitment to the team. We have some guys academically that are working toward graduation. Timing right now just doesn't put us in a situation where we think it's the best thing to try and play in one of those tournaments. Nothing but respect for all the tournaments, including the NIT... We're proud to be playing in the Preseason NIT next year at Ole Miss."

I kinda like you, but I don't want to go to dinner and a movie, but if you still want to take me to the Bahamas in 8 months, I would be available for that.

Sharp played 12 minutes for them yesterday and averaged under 16 per game all year. That's like saying LSU is opting out because Hunter Dean is unavailable.

On a side note, Sharp has to really regret picking Ole Miss out of the transfer portal. This year has been a disaster for him.

Thankful we didn't get Chris Beard. He's a snowflake.

Would he decline a NCAA bid or is this a form of opting out of a lower tier bowl. Hell, let the scrubs play and see what happens. Can he not field a starting 5?

I commend beard for being straight up and being honest about the situation instead of giving some generic answer not really saying anything on what’s going on.
