Lone Star Conference men's leading scorer facing NCAA eligibility questions

Eastern New Mexico forward Jahcoree Ealy recently missed four consecutive games. Some suspected the Lone Star Conference’s leading scorer was dealing with an injury. However, sources have told Dave Campbell’s Texas Basketball that Ealy missed those four critical conference games due to questions surrounding his NCAA eligibility.
