COLLEGE

There is an ongoing NCAA investigation regarding allegations of off-campus scouting and signal stealing by former Michigan staffer Connor Stalions. Still, Tony Petitti and the Big Ten sent Michigan its notice as required by the sportsmanship policy: “In the event, it becomes clear that an institution is likely to be subjected to” penalties.

Meeting the Texas A&M University-Commerce men’s basketball team in the regular season for the first time, the Texas Tech Red Raiders collected a 73-46 win in their home opener at the United Supermarkets Arena on Wednesday night. Along with being the home opener, Wednesday was also the season opener for Texas Tech, the 2019 NCAA National Finalist. The Lions started the season against two teams projected to make the NCAA Tournament, and the Lions are 0-2. The Lions’ start to the season against tough opponents continues Friday as they face No. 16 ranked Kentucky Wildcats. The tip-off is 6:00 pm CT at Rupp Arena.
