Chicago head coach Billy Donovan responded to his dismal output and disinterested defense with a quicker hook than usual; Vucevic wound up averaging a modest-for-him 27...

Toledo lost nearly all of its staff when Jason Candle left for UConn. They also lost their defensive coordinator to Syracuse, which left them in more of a unique situation than most, as the playcallers on both sides of the ball have left for new jobs. The Rockets haven’t had many players opt out, but […]
