Thanks to the genius of YouTube, the world has access to thousands of great college basketball videos to keep us busy every second of every day.  We'll be featuring daily movies to whet your college basketball appetite.

A pair of interesting stories were announced this afternoon: Florida sophomore Jai Lucas will transfer, and Arizona freshman center Jeff Withey has been denied his release.

OVERRATED PLAYERS

This is the fifth of six fantasy stats projections of BCS conference starters. The lineups are based on the Starting Fives series of articles released two weeks ago, along with a couple of changes due to recent developments.

TUCSON, Ariz. – University of Arizona director of athletics Jim Livengood announced the men’s basketball coaching responsibilities for the 2008-09 season in the wake of Lute Olson’s retirement Thursday.

Russ Pennell will serve at the interim head coach, while associate head coach Mike Dunlap and assistant coach Reggie Geary will remain in their current positions.

“Russ is a veteran assistant coach with a wealth of coaching experience,” said Livengood. “His experience of working in three of the best basketball conferences in the nation will serve us well.”
