Boston College wanted a fresh start under Luke Murray. But the decision to move on from longtime announcers Kevin Collins and Josh Maurer has created a mystery inside the program.
Did Murray fire them? Or was he blindsided, too?

Big market, small market … AJ Dybantsa doesn’t seem concerned either way.
His choosing BYU over blue bloods wasn’t just a recruiting upset. It reflected the mindset NBA teams are about to invest in.

Would you rather be picked 25th and make “just under $2.5 million as an NBA rookie” — or make more than that chasing a title in college?

NEWS: Former Wisconsin guard John Blackwell — the No. 3 transfer in The Athletic’s rankings— has committed to Duke, he announced on social media.
Blackwell is the top transfer acquisition of the John Scheyer era, and someone who immediately slots into the starting lineup for what should be a top-five squad entering next season.

NEWS: Big East commissioner Val Ackerma is retiring, she announced Monday.
In her 13 years in the role, she led the conference through a realignment-induced transformation that brought the league back to embracing its basketball roots.
Under Ackerman, the Big East signed a media rights agreement with Fox that allowed it to hold a unique position in the college sports landscape, thriving in basketball without FBS football.

Michigan delivered a championship performance.
But March Madness didn’t deliver a championship moment.
A dominant title run capped “just not a very good NCAA Tournament.”
The Athletic CBB retweeted
No team had ever won an NCAA Tournament game while:
◽️ Scoring under 70
◽️ Shooting under 40%
◽️ Shooting under 15% from three
◽️ Getting out-rebounded
Teams were 0-50 all-time.
They're now 1-50.
H/T @OptaSTATS
Aaaaand they're burning couches in Michigan again.
