Rocco is evidently not on the team. I saw him in the lobby by the ticket office before the game. He wasn't on the bench. He is no longer on the roster at the Ball State Sports website. I think he was on academic scholarship and not on a basketball athletic scholarship.
Did I miss something?

Good kid who gave a lot and helped this team get back to being competitive. Celebrated with the team after Valpo game and I'm glad he can leave with some good memories, hope he realizes he is appreciated.

I heard he is graduating and already has landed a job in Chicago so he is moving on.

Congratulations to Rocco and a thank you for sticking in there during some rough times for BSU basketball.

I was just idly looking around before the game and there was Rocco in street cloths about 6 rows below me. " Huh?" I said.
There is nothing on the BSU website. Not even a tweet. It would be nice to trot him out on the floor during some halftime or timeout to let the crowd acknowledge his efforts.....I never noticed him doing anything less than busting his ass on the floor. A little acknowledgement would have the additional advantage of taking the place of one of the lame, loud and tiresome promotions they do.
I might add here that the best things to have on the court during breaks are:
1) scantily clad college chicks 2) little kids (< 10 y.o.) playing against each other full court 3) people putting their foreheads on baseball bats, spinning around in circles, and then trying to dribble.
Almost anything else is a waste of my time.

I'd have to agree with number 1.

I think we combine them. Nearly nude coeds, spin them around and let them try to dance falling over each other,,, coated with oil!! The stands would be packed. These activities should take place during time outs during the game with a final at the end to keep the fans in their seats the entire contest.

It was especially good to see that Sneed came back to finish his degree.
