Not much losing going on ahead of IU, but Butler did beat Georgetown last night so that probably helped.

Burnett held an official offer from IU.

Texas Tech freshman Nimari Burnett confirms to ESPN that he’s leaving the program and plans to transfer.  Former five-star recruit.

 

More on Burnett's departure from Jeff Borzello -

Texas Tech freshman Nimari Burnett, a five-star recruit coming out of high school, is leaving the program and plans to transfer, he told ESPN.

Burnett, a 6-foot-4 guard, had seen his playing time fluctuate throughout the first 12 games of the season, but he played just six minutes in the Red Raiders' 82-71 win over Kansas State on Tuesday. Burnett had played at least 20 minutes just four times this season.

Part of the reason for Burnett's smaller role has been the arrival of transfers Mac McClung (Georgetown) and Jamarius Burton (Wichita State). McClung picked Texas Tech in May; Burton originally planned to redshirt this season before deciding to suit up shortly before the campaign began. With Kyler Edwards also returning as a starter from last season, the backcourt minutes haven't been there consistently for Burnett.

Burnett was averaging 5.3 points per game this season.

Ranked No. 22 in the ESPN 100 for the 2020 class, Burnett originally chose Texas Tech over a final four that also included Alabama, Oregon and Michigan.

Torn ligaments in his hand?  I'm not sure I've ever heard of that in basketball.  Did it happen on the court?  Yikes

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,774]

Kentucky's Keion Brooks (calf) has been fully cleared for all basketball related activities, per his Twitter page.

Another kid who had a formal IU offer now on the move.

UConn freshman Javonte Brown has entered the transfer portal, source told ESPN.  Saw time in two games this season.  The 7-foot center was considered a four-star prospect coming out of high school.

I would guess Kenya Hunter was in on his recruitment there ... Hoping he'll be in touch with him soon!

Tell ya what could be fun to watch: the best thing Walker does is he understands where to give the ball to Duane Washington. Without Walker I think it’s fair to say that Washington will throw up some really bad shots.

At some point this season, maybe we can finish and steal a game on the road. 

 

I think I just hurt myself. Had to pick myself up off the ground, I was laughing so hard.

Dayton got a great win on the road at Davidson after Grady hit a huge shot to send it to OT.

Dayton seems to be doing alright for themselves post-Archie Miller. 

 

I hope we're able to say the same thing in a few years.

Ok, funniest thing I’ve see in a minute. Someone makes a UCONN Fr highlights video of the kid. IT’S 23 SECONDS LONG.
