Saunders graduated with his degree from Maryland earlier this year, so he's a grad student at PC. Career 36% 3-pt shooter, including 41.1% last season.
PC had been on an eligibility losing streak as of late (Dink Pate, Joe Pinion, Derek Simpson); Saunders a swing for the better.

How many at-larges will come from the non-high-major ranks? GP and Norlander don't see eye-to-eye on this one.

Turning on the TV and seeing these two in that building feels special.
Today marks the first time Duke has traveled to Kansas since 1988. Criminal it's taken this long and still bittersweet it's just an exhibition. These two need to get a home-and-home on the books immediately.

The NCAA has penalized Ole Miss for tampering violations by former assistant coach Wes Flanigan, who was found to have communicated with the advisor of another school's player.
Chris Beard was not penalized because he was "not aware of the violations" and "promoted compliance."

COLUMN: Why is the NCAA fighting these so-called five-for-five cases all over the country in ways that will absolutely create an uneven playing field this season?
Arizona's Tommy Lloyd has an interesting theory.
