Where Have You Been?

Looks like Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has been too occupied with winning national championships and working out for the 2012 NBA draft.

No. No, they did not. With one game left, they’re 11 games behind the No. 8 seed.

You Better Hope, Casper

Oh, Casper.

Hopefully neither test was in English.

Kendall Marshall is Frustrated

Butthole definitely is not a proper noun, if you know what I mean.

Fab Melo’s Brilliant Idea

Fab Melo, the not so smart Syracuse center whose academic woes forced him to miss the NCAA tournament, has another great idea.

YOLO = You Only Live Once… That would fly in court.

Winners All Around

Apparently, Kendall Marshall and I aren’t so different. We’re the same age and we both create ourselves in video games.

My new claim to fame: my created player in NBA 2k11 was drafted higher (Rd. 1, Pk. 30) than Kendall Marshall’s. Fortunately for UNC’s point guard, real life offers much more potential—he’s currently projected as a lottery pick in the 2012 NBA draft.

When You Gotta Go…

Not exactly a ringing endorsement of whichever restaurant DJO is at.

This isn’t related to sports, but while we’re on the topic, enjoy!

Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson Spend a Night on the Town

That’s not the only thing Tyshawn didn’t remember.

Jared Sullinger Wears a Dress

Jared Sullinger declared for the NBA draft, but the professional waters aren’t the only ones he’s testing. As Carlton Mitchell might say, it appears that Ohio State’s star is as confused as a chameleon in a bag of skittles.

Why?

Because Sullinger had someone snap a photo of himself in a tight, curve-revealing mini dress. You don’t see cross-dressing basketball players all too often—other than Dennis Rodman—so relish this moment while you can.

Click here to see the photo.

Anthony Davis a Hit on Jimmy Kimmel Live

Anthony Davis made his talk show debut last night, appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Kimmel asked Davis about life as a student, and the diaper dandy responded, “Coach Cal is forcing us to go to class. I don’t know why—we just won a national championship.”

When discussing his future, Davis said he might take Kimmel’s job. Kimmel said to go for it but warned Davis of the show’s “two-eyebrow minimum.”

Also on his future, Davis said, “[Calipari] said if I stay I could play point guard.”

Watch Davis discuss his unibrow, future and more with Kimmel. It’s definitely worth your time.

I Feel Ya, Doron Lamb

If I just won a championship and didn’t have to go to class, I’d also be pretty bored.

Ahhh… Life of a College Athlete

I wish I was an athlete-student, or, as Vonta Leach might say, an atlethe-student.

There Once Was an English That Swallowed a Fly

A horse fly found its way into Kim English’s room last night, and the Mizzou star refused to go to sleep until it was dead.

When he realized finding frogs or birds was impossible, he took the task upon himself.

Something New

Fresh off a national championship, Kyle Wiltjer is… looking for work?

A Kentucky Wildcat looking for a job? That’s almost as unexpected as Anthony Davis raving about his Organic Chemistry class.

Kevin Jones Gets It!

Looks like West Virginia churns out geniuses.

That’s the point, bro.

In other news, grass is green (unless there’s a drought), the sky is blue (unless it’s cloudy) and Anthony Davis has a unibrow (unless… nevermind, he still has it).

Syracuuuuuuuuuse

Maybe playing backup to Fab Melo had a bad influence on Baye Moussa Keita’s work habits.

Alright, go get it Baye. That would be an impressive feat. Kudos to you if you finish by then!

Oh, wait. Looks like Baye procrastinated a bit.

Hmmm… Let’s see if he finishes that paper by 9 pm. Big Bang Theory ended at 8, so he has an hour.

Good luck!

Tyshawn Taylor Has His Head on Straight

Although Tyshawn Taylor’s Kansas Jayhawks are set to face Kentucky in tomorrow’s NCAA Championship, the senior guard has spent more time talking about girls on Twitter today.

This guy called him out, and Taylor’s response is outside of the quotation marks.

He has his priorities set straight (pun maybe intended).

Stay In School, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

Not because your basketball talents aren’t primed for the NBA, but because your understanding of the English language could use some refinement.

Here’s a brief lesson: You cannot “take avenge” on something. However, you can take REVENGE on something.

Having said that, you probably meant “advantage,” rather than “avenge” or “revenge.”

Running From the Cops Speed?

Apparently Erving Walker isn’t Chris Johnson.

Florida’s point guard ordered a $3 taco at a street vendor and fled without paying. After being chased by cops, Walker was arrested and charged with retail petit theft and resisting an officer without violence.

According to ESPN, Walker said he was “just playing around.”

Could be a fun game. Maybe Walker wanted a little taste of real-life GTA.

Diaper Dandy?

Syracuse freshman Rakeem Christmas has plenty of time on his hands since the Orange were eliminated from the NCAA tournament, but unlike teammate Brandon Triche, he’s not devoting his newfound time to his studies. No, instead he’s watching children’s movies and using poor grammar on Twitter.

Brandon Triche is a Student-Athlete!

At least someone at Syracuse is… Not trying to call out Fab Melo, but really trying to call out Fab Melo.

Let’s give Triche the benefit of the doubt here and assume he’d be on his “school grind” even if the ‘Cuse wasn’t eliminated last weekend.
