Something that’s annually fun to track: Which second-round picks wind up greatly outplaying their draft spot? Here, I identify seven quality sleepers. Jalen Brunson leads the list. It will be silly if he falls to the second round. cbssports.com/college-basket…

Amazing, unforgettable performance by the Knicks. One of the best sports stories of the decade. Truly, truly, legendarily pathetic display by the Spurs. Abominable.

Kenny Klein is on the short list of the most respected and beloved people in the college sports world. Longtime former SID at Louisville who came out of retirement to help Pitino at St. John's in recent years. Hoping for a positive update soon 🙏
If you are the praying kind, please serve some up for our guy Kenny Klein, who is dealing with a serious medical situation at the moment.

Regrettably, the NCAA still refuses to staff its selection committees with anyone except athletic directors and commissioners.
More news: NCAA announces the men's basketball selection committee is cycling on Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua, Ole Miss AD Keith Carter, MVC commish Jeff Jackson and Northwestern AD Mark Jackson. They'll replace the outgoing Keith Gill, Greg Byrne, Mark Coyle and John Wildhack.

Notre Dame's athletic director has a massive job with a lot of Very Important Things Required. He does not need to be on the men's basketball selection committee. Until a few years ago, he was working in television and, prior to that, with the PGA.

Breaking: Next season's big Duke-Michigan game that was initially announced for MSG is being moved, sources told @CBSSports. The teams are finalizing plans to play at the home of the Miami Marlins. Yes, a baseball stadium. Here's the story behind the saga:cbssports.com/college-basket…
