Forget Steve Rogers: Kansas Jayhawks' Frank Mason is the REAL Captain America, baby | FOX Sports
Take off, eh! Actually, in crunch time, Mason got the rock and did just that. Repeatedly. The 5-foot-11 guard took advantage of the international, 24-second shot clock, driving and kicking or driving and finishing, rubbing off screens and generally bouncing between Canadian defenders the way a pinball does between bumpers.
Bill Self: KU freshmen 'pretty good' vs. Canada | KUsports.com
“I thought they were both pretty good,” KU coach Bill Self said. “They don’t know what they’re doing, obviously. Legerald tries hard and his man just goes around him whenever he wants to. Carlton is not physically strong yet to, you know, get rebounds in traffic and stuff.”

Bob Huggins doesn't like the new rule changes in college hoops - CBSSports.com
"I thought we had a great game," Huggins said. "I don't know why we're doing what we're doing. You watch the NBA Playoffs and it comes down to throwing the ball to the best player in the world and letting him play. You think about the guys we consider the great coaches of all time and they ran great offense. They really controlled the game with their offense and I think the more and more we reduce the shot clock, the more and more the best players are always going to win. Can't run a lot of offense."

Hunter's error didn't cost the Minnesota Twins a victory, but it cost them at least a run in a 6-2 loss to the White Sox. It also cost Hunter a little pride, or should have.
