Yes. Not just disqualified for fouls. It was High's 5th, meaning he was disqualified but could remain on the bench. It was Freeman's second technical, which I think is an automatic ejection, but they were both ejected and not allowed to stay on the bench.

Wes Miller and Cincinnati win their 4th straight, this one AT KANSAS, by 16.

Clemson was in second place in the ACC, and in the last 4 games, they have lost at home to Virginia Tech, lost at Duke, lost at Wake Forest, and today lost at home to Florida State.

Houston is really good, and Arizona is ahead at Houston by 6 with a minute to go, without Koa Peat.

I liked how Carolina hit some 3FGs early, how they intentionally attacked mismatches, how they responded after Syracuse tied it at 44 with 8 straight out of the timeout. Trimble was a big part of that eventual 11-2 run. The rebounding was also pretty good, especially without Wilson.

I didn't mind High confronting Freeman after the hard foul. They were both ejected for continuing the discussion lined up for the foul shots. It was Freeman's second technical, and High's first, which was also fifth foul, but it was a straight ejection for both.

I totally get from where you are coming. Two spaces makes text much more readable and prevents confusion after an abbreviation. If we can be forced into that unnecessary change, we can make the logical one.

It has been told that Mark Twain, upon learning that an editor had changed a sentence because it ended with a preposition, wrote "This is the kind of thing up with which I will not put" in his reply.

Just because we've been doing it incorrectly for hundreds of years doesn't mean we have to continue doing it incorrectly.

If the phrase inside the quotation marks isn't a sentence, why does it have a period inside the quotation marks to indicate the end of a sentence?

If the period is the end of the sentence, why does the quotation mark that is part of the quotation inside the sentence come after the end of the sentence?

Syracuse has some very talented players, but this team is most often less than the sum of the parts. I hope Carolina doesn't catch them on a day that they put it all together.

I have acquiesced to the new "one space after the period at the end of the sentence" rule, so I humbly ask that the rest of the English-speaking world join me in placing the comma and period OUTSIDE of the quotation marks where they belong.
