Tuesday Morning Dump

- Kentucky heads to Bloomington to take on the undefeated Hoosiers in what is perhaps the biggest game of the Tom Crean era. Coach Crean and Coach Calipari have already started trading quips on twitter in advance to their game on Saturday

- It's Tuesday, which means Gary Parrish goes after the pollsters

- Dickie-V had the court at Detroit-Mercy named in his honor last night

- We are going on a roadtrip in January, and we we're hoping to do something like this at Rupp Arena. Looks like somebody beat us to the punch

- The NCAA is looking into tightening up rules in regards to minors and child abuse. This all coming in wake of the two child abuse allegations involving college coaches

- Mike Krzyzewski and Pat Summitt were selected by Sports Illustrated to their Sportsman/Sportswoman of the Year

- Oh look, it's just another bizarre twist in the Bernie Fine case

- Speaking of Fine, he had most of his belongs seized by the FBI. Amongst his belongs were NINE CELL PHONES! Why on Earth would somebody need NINE CELL PHONES

- Providence freshman Kiwi Gardner has been ruled ineligible to participate for the entire season

- It does not look like Utah State forward Brady Jardine will return to action any time soon. He has already sat out four games due to a foot injury, and it does not look like the injury is improving. This is a tough loss for the Aggies, who have struggled early on the find a reliable front court option

- Just another of the many reasons why I'm a huge fan of Rutgers head coach Mike Rice

- Don't look now, but Murray State is undefeated and eyeing an upset bid over Memphis

- It finally looks like Indiana is starting to turn the corner under the tutelage of Tom Crean

- The life after Jimmer hasn't been too sweet for BYU. Will it get any better for Coug fans?

- Florida struggled against Syracuse because of their lack of depth up front. But big-man Erik Murphy should be healthy enough to play in the Gators next game

- We wrote about VCU yesterday, so will give up some dap to other publications that did the same

- Jeff Borzello isn't very good at writing. But he does make a good point: Jordan Taylor needs some help

- We all know how much Virginia Tech loves being on the bubble. This season might be their best chance to land on the right side of the bubble

- Harvard is ranked for the first time in school history. Speaking of Harvard, could the Crimson go 30-0? If they can beat UConn this week, it's not out of the realm of possibillity

- UNC-Wilmington guard Keegan Pace will transfer from the university at the end of the semester

- Utah is arguably the worst BCS-conference team in the country. They are 1-6, haven't beaten a D-I opponent, and have now suspended their leading scorer

- Buzz Williams wants Marquette to have fun (Simple enough, right?)

- USC is setting school records for all the wrong reasons

- Weber State's all-confernece forward Kyle Bullinger will miss 3-4 weeks due to a nasty dislocated arm injury

- So it looks like Eastern Washington assistant coach Craig Ehlo won't be taking the job with the Cleveland Cavaliers

- I'm as surprised as you are with the early-season success of San Diego State. Maybe this isn't a rebuilding year after all

- According to Jim Boeheim, his team's upcoming game against Marshall could be their toughest test do date (Way to smear Florida, Jimmy)

- I don't care if it's fake news. The Onion is always a hysterical-read: Coach-K hasn't had a team this unlikable in years

- This has got to be a first: A basketball day-night double-header

- Erin Andrews filed another lawsuit against the hotel that she was spied on in

- Thank God none of my co-workers are Dookies
