Chicago State has left the conference. The Yankton Press & Dakotan answer some questions about the conference.

IT IS ALL GREEK TO ME
Here is the nashing and rehashing of the Greek win against the Americans. 20 Second Timeout by David Friedman points to defense. Wages of Wins chimes in with player performances, and a critique of coach K. True Hoop has a parade of pundits, and also has it's own take on the slaying of the American Dragon.

Here's hoping the USA women have learned a lesson from the men for their upcoming FIBA championships in Brazil. Women's Hoops Blog seems to think so.

NCAA RULES & REGS
Here is another fine blog from Malcom Gladwell. It deals with the case of Rhett Bomar, but what it shows is an organization that has zero tolerance for part time private payments.
