Jordan Bowden out against Vanderbilt with illness

Jordan Bowden will not play Wednesday against Vanderbilt as the freshman guard is still battling what’s been described as the flu.

The freshman guard from Knoxville’s Carter High School started in Tennessee’s 90-70 win over Missouri on Saturday, but played only one minute before checking out of the game for good.

"He was really sick and wanted to try to play the other night,” Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes said on Monday, “couldn't do it."

Tennessee (15-12, 7-7 SEC) hosts Vanderbilt (14-13, 7-7) at 6:30 p.m. (TV: SEC Network) at Thompson-Boling Arena as both teams fight to keep their NCAA tournament hopes alive.

Sally Faulkner's former husband claims he took children to Lebanon due to her 'relationships'

Ali al-Amin’s claim comes as Channel Nine defends involvement in ‘story profoundly in public interest’ The estranged husband of Brisbane woman Sally Faulkner says he took their two children to Lebanon because he “just wasn’t OK” with her new partner being prominent in their lives. Ali al-Amin has been speaking to Australian media as Channel Nine explicitly defended its involvement in “a story that not only is profoundly in the public interest but also one the public is interested in”. Nine also announced it would fully investigate how four of its staff came to be arrested in Beirut, charged with kidnapping and finally released on Wednesday, apparently in exchange for compensation . Amin claimed on the Kyle and Jackie O Kiis radio show on Thursday that he decided to take the former couple’s two children, 5-year-old Lahela and Noah, 3, after he “saw a few things happening in regards to Sal’s parenting or relationships”.
