Lets be honest, as much as we are happy they are going to keep playing, in reality why should they? At this point they legitimately have nothing to play for. Every reason they came here for, ACC Tournament, NCAA Tournament, are all gone. These remaining games are now nothing more than glorified exhibition games.
Both players are going to be going to the NBA (they will at least be drafted), the remaining games offer little ability to really improve their draft stock. On the other hand, what do you think is going to happen if one of them gets injured? Not only are their NCAA dreams gone, their NBA dreams will be gone as well. Playing right now for them IMO is not worth the risk of injury.
They already have degrees so you don't even have the education aspect. If I'm close to Lee and Lewis, I'm telling them to reconsider, stop playing for a university who cares nothing about you and immediately go into prep mode for the NBA draft. If I was Damion Lee and Trey Lewis the only thing I'm doing today is packing up my stuff from Minardi Hall, leaving UofL and never looking back.
There are not a single logical reason why they should be out there on the court today or any game after this.
