President Barack Obama attended Oregon State's game at George Washington on Sunday. Obama is the brother-in-law of Oregon State head coach Craig Robinson.

Obama left the White House on Saturday afternoon with first lady Michelle Obama, daughters Malia and Sasha and mother-in-law Marian Robinson.

Obama spent the past two days out of public view, enjoying Thanksgiving at the White House with family and friends.

John Wall scored a season-best 23 points, including clutch shots in the final minute that sent the game to overtime, and No. 5 Kentucky closed with an eight-point run for a 73-65 victory over Stanford.

Playing his fifth college game, Wall capped a big night with a slam dunk at the final horn.

In his Kentucky debut, John Wall hit a 12-footer from the left side with a half-second left the game to give the Wildcats a 72-70 win over Miami (Ohio).

Wall came up a point short of becoming the third UK freshman to debut with 20 or more points.

Isiah Thomas was subjected to ridicule by the opposing Monmouth crowd as his Florida International team went down 99-70.

The crowd periodically chanted "sexual harassment," "take Lunesta," "Anucha Sanders," and "Magic hates you," referring to various alleged chapters in Thomas' recent past.

"I'm used to being in a hostile work environment as athlete and former Bad Boy, every place we went to was this kind of environment," said Thomas. "It's all in good spirit and good fun, that's what being a fan is all about. ... I thought the students were well in line and in bounds with the chants that they were saying."

Thomas never lost his self-control.  After the final buzzer, a fan confronted Thomas as he came off the court and shouted "---- you" more than a dozen times.

"I don't even think he's a student here; he's not in college," Thomas said. "He got out of line and security put him in line."

Harrison Barnes, the most heavily recruited high school basketball talent in Iowa history, announced Friday that he will play at North Carolina.

Barnes signed his letter of intent in the Ames High School gymnasium, in front of family, friends and fans.

The son of Ronnie Harris, who played at Iowa State under Johnny Orr, and Shirley Barnes, who works in the music department at Iowa State, Harrison first played competitive basketball as a third-grader in an Ames Park and Recreation League.

"I knew he was gifted in many ways," Shirley said.

Reggie Bullock of Kinston, N.C. (Kinston), No. 13 in the ESPNU 100 and the second-ranked shooting guard, and Kendall Marshall of Arlington, Va. (Bishop O'Connell), No. 19 in the top 100 and fourth-ranked point guard both have signed with North Carolina.

Bullock chose the Tar Heels over Indiana and Wake Forest; Marshall picked UNC over Georgetown, Villanova and Virginia.

North Carolina is also in the running for Harrison Barnes, who is ranked first overall by ESPN.

Bill Self announced Wednesday that Royce Woolridge has signed a national letter of intent to play at Kansas next season.

A shooting guard from Sunnyslope High School in Phoenix, Ariz., Woolridge is 6-3, 175-pounds. As a junior at Sunnyslope, Woolridge averaged 28.5 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. He made 50 percent of his field goals, shot 34 percent from behind the arc and 82 percent from the free-throw line. Additionally, Woolridge averaged 2.5 assists and 2.1 steals for the Vikings in 2008-09.

?We are very happy to add Royce to our basketball program,? Self said. ?He?s a terrific young man, great student and is going to be a heck of a basketball player. Right now he is a combo guard that is really good off the bounce and has become an excellent shooter.

?Royce and his mother, Victoria, have been very loyal to us considering they committed approximately two years ago,? Self added.
