For two young entrepreneurs on Detroit’s West Side, a visit from a few Michigan basketball players might been, in itself, worth all of the hard work they’ve invested into their business.

Mike Moser’s playing on the wing, but don’t expect fewer rebounds
Aug 6, 2012, 11:53 PM EDT
Mike Moser’s UNLV’s best player and rebounder. But the newly loaded frontcourt – transfers Khem Birch and Roscoe Smith, freshman Anthony Bennett bolster a lineup with Qunitrell Thomas and Carlos Lopez – means he’ll see more time on the wing this season. The thought of an aggressive, quick 6-foot-8 guy on the wing must give…

The long-awaited brackets for the Legends Classic were announced Monday, and they’re exactly what you’d expect from a manufactured event where all the favorites already have a ticket to the “Championship Round.” It’s mostly forgettable November basketball.

KenPom did it again. If you don’t know who KenPom is, he’s actually Ken Pomeroy, a weatherman from Utah that runs the best college basketball stats site on the web.

Villanova’s basketball staff has undergone a restructuring. Doug West is leaving, according to a tweet from Jeff Goodman, and will be replaced by Doug Martin.
