The UConn men's basketball season ended where players and coaches hoped it would: at the Final Four in Detroit.

The tail end of UConn 's 2008-09 season was met with as much concern for the program as excitement.

Tony Fritz was nervous. But that's not the only reason the rookie head coach was tongue-tied when announcing the Sioux Falls Skyforce's first pick in the NBA D-League draft Thursday night, stammering his way through the announcement on a conference call.

Off-the-court problems dogged UConn during its NCAA tournament run last season. More trouble has followed the Huskies into the 2009-10 season.

America East teams have won a total of six NCAA tournament games since 1980, the last one being Vermont's thrilling first-round upset of Syracuse in 2005.

What I would support is for the National Letter of Intent to be reconstructed. Each letter should include a place where the prospect must sign, the parent/guardian must sign and the head coach of the institution must sign.

The Connecticut basketball team had finished playing pickup for at least 30 minutes Wednesday, but Ater Majok was still on the floor working on his face-up game.

The calendar keeps turning, day by day, now month by month, allowing BYU coach Dave Rose to check the pages that he's still here -- feeling better each day, and as far as he knows, cancer-free.

The Tigers played Rose after he was cleared by the NCAA's Eligibility Center, and thus, according to Memphis, it didn't knowingly play an ineligible player, so it shouldn't have any wins vacated.

A few quick hitters for Tuesday: The first of two days of workouts at the Golden State Warriors' practice facility concluded with little consensus reached.

Investigations and innuendo about potential rules violations or an invalid amateur status hover over places like USC, Connecticut, Memphis and -- because of the attention shifted to John Calipari -- Kentucky.

Good morning, Sun worshipers.... Allow me to begin with a question. The answer will appear at the bottom of this blog.

Toledo native Nate Miles has declared for the NBA draft after playing one year at the College of Southern Idaho in Twins Falls, Idaho.

The official list of underclassmen declaring for the NBA draft is out and it is interesting to note both Nate Miles and Ater Majok, who were both linked to the NCAA investigation into possible recruiting violations in the program because of their relationship with former Huskies' manager turned agent Josh Nochimson.
