Very sad story involving former Michigan hero Rumeal Robinson:

There seems to be a lot of hype surrounding Clemson this season, yet this article tells us they have quite a bit to replace. It'll be interesting to see how quickly the talent gels together:

I guess this doesn't qualify as a college basketball story, but I wanted to post it nonetheless. It's encouraging that the one-and-done rule may be showing some benefits academically:

I'm hoping that Harrison Barnes rebuffs both these suitors and remains in the Midwest; preferably Ames, but I'd be okay with Lawrence:

I have a feeling that Washington's going to be an awfully fun team to watch this season. This softball interview with Isiah Thomas does cast light on an addiction I'd never heard of before-Pop Tarts:

Predictable, yet sad news involving Tennessee's Emmanuel Negedu, the player who collapsed and didn't have a heartbeat for two minutes last week:
