Xavier sophomore guard J.P. Macura was arrested early Thursday morning and faces misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and obstructing official business after an incident in a Cincinnati-area bar.   Kevin Grasha of the Cincinnati Enquirer reported Macura was being held at Hamilton County jail ahead of a Thursday afternoon arraignment hearing.

Over the last decade, the SEC's reputation off the field was as bad as it gets. Urban Meyer was running a program at Florida that had 31 arrests during his tenure, according to Ken Bradley of Sporting News. Auburn had an offseason to forget following its 2010 national championship, including an incident in which four Tigers were charged with first-degree robbery in March of 2011, according to Charles Goldberg, formerly of AL.com.  Mike Rosenberg, a freelance reporter formerly of the San ...

Under Armour has created the Under Armour "Reunion" that will feature intriguing doubleheaders at Madison Square Garden each December. Here's the inaugural "Reunion" slate to ...

Like its bigger counterpart, the NIT became anything but boring as things headed toward the Final Four and later decided which teams will meet for a shot at the championship.  A showdown at Madison Square Garden between the No. 1 Valparaiso Crusaders and No. 4 George Washington Colonials says this well enough.
