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)
