Bruce Pearl and the Auburn Tigers crushed the South Carolina Gamecocks by 40 points on Wednesday evening, proving they still belong in the SEC's cream of the crop - while Jonas Aidoo helped the Tennessee Volunteers prove the same with a blowout win over Arkansas.
In bubble games, Miami lost to Clemson to further hurt their chances of an at-large bid, while Xavier fell to Seton Hall thanks to a monster night from Kadary Richmond.
Chris Holtmann was canned by Ohio State on Wednesday, and we discuss five coaching candidates the Buckeyes could consider as a replacement in 2024-25 - as well as which other Big Ten coaching jobs could be open this offseason.
Finally, we discuss Syracuse's big win over North Carolina and the job Red Autry has done so far this season for the Orange.

The 2024 NBA draft withdraw deadline has passed and college basketball retained many key stars - including UConn's Alex Karaban, Alabama's Mark Sears, and Arizona's Caleb Love. More surprising were the returns of Hunter Sallis to Wake Forest and Payton Sandfort to Iowa, keeping even more star power in the game next season.

KJ Simpson (Colorado) and Jonathan Mogbo (San Francisco) are both staying in the draft. Villanova finally got some good news in the form of leading scorer Eric Dixon deciding to return for a sixth year of college. The same goes for Wes Miller and Cincinnati who get Aziz Bandaogo back.

WEDNESDAY

News dropped on Memorial Day that Trevon Brazile is planning to pull out of the NBA Draft and return to college. The only question is…which school? Brazile could return to Fayetteville and new coach John Calipari. The Hogs have only used eight of their 13 scholarships and could really use a nice Power Forward. Brazile would fit just perfectly. But if he doesn’t want to come back to Arkansas, there will be no end of suitors lining up for Brazile’s services. With under 48 hours left to the NBA Draft withdrawal deadline, why are so many players still undecided? Also, Andy Patton and Isaac Schade say goodbye to the legend, Bill Walton.

News broke on Sunday evening that DJ Wagner is headed to Fayetteville, Arkansas to join Coach John Calipari and his Kentucky teammates Zvonimir Ivisic and Adou Thiero (plus the incoming freshmen of Boogie Fland, Karter Knox, and Billy Richmond. Will Wagner give the Hogs the point guard skill set they need? Perhaps, but the Hogs should target one with one of their five remaining scholarships. 

Chaz Lanier, last season’s most efficient scorer per Synergy, has committed to Tennessee over Kentucky and BYU. The move further elevates Rick Barnes team and gives them a dynamic scorer, similar to what they had last year with Dalton Knecht.
