LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Big 12 player of the year Jarrett Culver has declared for the NBA draft after two standout seasons at Texas Tech.

Culver's announcement came 10 days after Tech lost in overtime to Virginia in the national championship game. The Red Raiders went to their first Elite Eight last year when Culver was a freshman.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State should have one of the most talented teams in school history.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas has officially appealed the two-year suspension of forward Silvio De Sousa arising from an FBI probe into corruption in college basketball. The school says De Sousa was suspended for most of the 2018-19 basketball season and all of the 2019-20 season "for alleged violations that he was unaware of and from which he did not benefit." The appeal now goes to the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement. That committee's ruling is final.
