In a text message from Josh Selby's mother, Maeshon Witherspoon, TheShiver.com was informed that Josh Selby is officially NOT returning to the University of Kansas.

[CU's Cory Higgins] basketball skill has earned him a place on the Preseason All-Big 12 Team and the Wooden Award preseason watch list. A lot of that skill was honed on a hoop in front of his house as a kid, just like plenty of other players. But unlike most players, his driveway basketball games featured NBA talent. His father, Rod Higgins, played in the NBA for 13 years and is now general manager for the Charlotte Bobcats.

After more than 36 hours stranded in Kansas City, the Mizzou basketball team was scheduled to fly to Oklahoma City around 11:30 a.m. and bus to Stillwater for tonight's scheduled 8 p.m. game at Oklahoma State, according to MU basketball spokesman Dave Reiter.

From Frank Martin: "Wally quit the team today. He's not happy. I kinda saw it coming because of some of his emotional situations."

I, along with hundreds of others, streamed out of the United Spirit Arena in Lubbock tonight at the under 12:00 media timeout with our Red Raiders down 30. It felt like the "walk of shame". It felt like such a charade. I mean, if the players and coaches can’t do a better job…and the fans are apathetic…then why even bother? It makes me sad. We have a wonderful basketball facility and a fan base that, while certainly not the most basketball crazy in the conference, has supported winners in the past. When The General was leading the team, attending the basketball games was something that you scheduled for. Now that Pat is at the helm, I can’t help but feel that fans are scheduling around the games. Frankly, I don’t blame them. But the worst part of it is, I can’t help but think that it will only get worse before it gets any better. We start four seniors (who have been very disappointing) and our underclassmen aren’t exactly McDonald’s All-Americans. The rest of the Big 12 has passed us by.

2:13 is not just a verse in the bible…it was also Tech’s assist to turnover ratio tonight. But they made up for it by being out rebounded 39-23. Oh yeah, they also shot 0-11 from beyond the arc.

University or Texas = Marshawn Lynch
Texas Tech = New Orleans Saints Defense

Kansas State’s Jacob Pullen and Curtis Kelly won’t play against UNLV. Both committed a secondary violation of NCAA rules. [...] Both players received impermissible benefits on the purchase of clothing at a local department store.

The Associated Press has learned that Baylor guard LaceDarius Dunn will remain suspended for the first three games of the regular season and then be eligible to rejoin the 16th-ranked Bears.

This presents a major problem. (LaceDarius) Dunn hasn't been suspended from his team, but if he's unable to attend classes for an extended period of time, he could find himself unable to qualify academically for the spring semester. The spring semester happens to be, you know, when the majority of the basketball season -- including the Big 12 regular season, Big 12 tournament, and NCAA tournament -- takes place. It would be something of an end-around punishment, and it's entirely possible Dunn the case could be settled and Dunn could be reinstated to the team before the fall semester is out. But if Dunn misses too many classes, that wouldn't matter.

The former Oklahoma State basketball coach, who pleaded guilty in August to illegally obtaining prescription drugs and acknowledged an addiction to painkillers, will serve as an adviser to the Oral Roberts program led by his brother, Scott Sutton.
