Greg Whittington injured his knee and the fear is that it is a torn ACL.

Whittington is a junior forward for Gerogetown.

Whittington averaged 12.1 points and seven rebounds in 13 games last season before being ruled academically ineligible.

Andrew Wiggins participated in his first practice at Kansas on Monday.

Wiggins arrived in Lawrence on Saturday.

"Wow!" a source close to the Jayhawks' program said. "Like watching a video game. He'd be the No. 1 pick this year."

The NCAA will no longer hold their regional finals in dome stadiums and instead always opt for regular-sized arenas.

The Final Four will continue to be held in dome stadiums.

The NCAA had used domes in the regional by design and also as dry runs before the venue hosted a Final Four.

Mark Cuban is financing a flopping study conducted by biomechanics experts at Southern Methodist.

"Flopping is a player’s deliberate act of falling, or recoiling unnecessarily from a nearby opponent, to deceive game officials," writes Allen in a press release. "Athletes engage in dramatic flopping to create the illusion of illegal contact, hoping to bait officials into calling undeserved fouls on opponents."

The Cuban-owned company Radical Hoops Ltd. awarded a grant of more than $100,000 to fund the 18-month research study at SMU.

The NBA instituted anti-flopping rules in 2012 to discourage the practice.

Larry Brown dismissed a report that he may return to the NBA as head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, calling it "hypothetical."

Brown is currently head coach at SMU.

“I love what I’m doing,” said Brown. “But I’m in a situation where I think I can help young people. But I don’t ever want to get back into coaching at the professional level unless I have a great relationship with the ownership and people let me share the knowledge I have learned and work with young people that have the same values that I have.”

Brown was disappointed with the firing of Tony DiLeo.

“They have new ownership,” Brown said. “I think when Tony was let go I don’t think that they would have any interest in somebody like me. I love the team, I love the city. I have always felt that if there was any way I could help as a resource because of the way I was treated I would love to do that. But I think there are probably a lot of great options out there for them.”

Zach Price has decided to transfer from Louisville.

Price started during the first part of the 12-13 season, but did not play since mid-January as the Cardinals went on a championship run.

Aaron Gordon expects to primarily play at small forward for Arizona this season, though he appears to be best suited at power forward on the college level.

Gordon's position in the NBA remains unclear, though he could certainly play minutes at both positions due to how power forwards are evolving.

“As of right now I plan on playing on the wing full time,” Gordon told Jason Scheer of Wildcat Authority. “There will obviously be some times where I’ve got to go down in the post and go to work, but the plan is for me to play on the perimeter, which makes sense when you have players like Brandon (Ashley) and Kaleb (Tarczewski) in the low post. A lot of my training has been done with that in mind. I’ve always been able to dribble pretty well, so I’ve continued to work on that along with becoming a more consistent shooter.”

Katin Reinhardt has decided to transfer from UNLV to USC.

Reinhardt left UNLV due to his desire to play point guard.

Reinhardt originally committed to USC in 2010, but changed his mind last May.

Andy Enfield will use Reinhardt in his uptempo offense beginning in the 14-15 season after he sits out one year.

Kansas has hired Jerrance Howard to the coaching staff of Bill Self.

Howard was most recently an assistant coach with SMU after five years with Bruce Weber at Illinois. Howard has a reputation as a good recruiter.

Howard played for Self at Illinois and is close friends with Texas-native Deron Williams. Howard is expected to help Kansas make in-roads in Chicago and Texas.
