1. Many Kentucky fans chuckled at the news that Louisville was interested in embattled ex-Wake Forest big man Tony Woods last year, but they're no longer laughing now that it's the Wildcats who are debating adding a kid who plead guilty to assaulting a woman. The Lexington Herald Leader's John Clay poses the question whether it should be a program of Kentucky's stature that gives Woods a second chance.
2. It has taken Kansas fans years to forgive Roy Williams for jilting the Jayhawks in favor of North Carolina, but it appears time has finally healed those wounds. Despite carrying a North Carolina golf bag and wearing white and Tar Heel-blue shoes, Williams received cheers from the Jayhawks faithful whenever he hit a good shot while competing against Bill Self at a Sunday pro-am in Mayetta, Kan.
3. Northern Iowa athletic director Troy Dannen only needed one word to sum up his emotions after Texas A&M chose Murray State coach Billy Kennedy over the Panthers' Ben Jacobson. ""Relief," Dannen told the Des Moines Register. "Truthfully, he is the best coach in the Valley. You've got a great person, great mentor for the student-athletes and a great representative of the university. Those aren't the type of people you want to lose."
4. Maybe the worst news of the college basketball offseason became official last week when CBS parted ways with Gus Johnson, ensuring that the voice of March Madness has called his last NCAA tournament game for a while. Ben Koo of Awful Announcing provides an excellent explanation of why CBS would choose not to resign one of its most popular play-by-play voices.
5. From Cal's Bak Bak to ex-Wisconsin forward Duany Duany, to former Oklahoma big man Longar Longar, college basketball has a surprisingly rich history of double-named players. The latest will be 6-foot-6 Canadian forward Shayok Shayok, who signed with Bradley on Friday.
The only question in determining today's clip of the day was simply which Taj Gibson dunk was it going to be. On wow factor alone, the ex-USC big man's one-handed follow slam gets the nod over his posterization of Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade.
"People think Tony is some sort of monster. It's frustrating to everyone around him because we know that's not the case." -- Tony Woods' girlfriend Courtney Barber, the woman with whom the ex-Wake Forest big man got into an altercation last year that resulted in him being kicked off the team.
