Restoring hoops order in the Triangle
The buzz around NC State has quickly evaporated, and as we head into the 2013-14 season, it's clear the Triangle area of North Carolina is still owned by Duke and UNC.
The wait was well worth it for Kansas
Andrew Wiggins maintained a clandestine approach to his recruitment, but there's nothing secret about the 2014 potential of his choice: Kansas is right back in the driver's seat.
Poll results favor earlier start, shorter shot clock
An poll of 37 Division I coaches reveals strong support for an earlier start to practice and a shortened shot clock.
An updated Top 25 for 2013-14
With Andrew Wiggins finally selecting a destination, Jason King updates his early Top 25 for the 2013-14 season.
Pressure now off Wiggins? Oh, it's just beginning
Andrew Wiggins made his college decision (Kansas), no doubt a great burden off his back. But in the world we've created, the pressure is far from over for the next greatest thing.
