• I like this comment by Bill Haisten as to why Eddie might be voted into the National Basketball Hall of Fame his seventh time as a finalist:
Who knows? Naismith voters are appointed for three-year terms. Maybe there are new voters who recognize that the six-time Sutton snub is a travesty. Maybe new voters would do the right thing and send Sutton to Springfield, Massachusetts, for the enshrinement weekend in late August. [TulsaWorld]
Maybe? Who knows at this point.
• That was a tough second half in Morgantown last night – not for the faint of heart or those weak in the stomach.
I didn’t think it was possible that there was a stat uglier than the 1-for-20 OSU went from 3 in its first meeting against West Virginia, but the Cowboys found a way.
In the second half, OSU went 5-for-30 on field-goal attempts. OSU shot 16.7 percent for an entire half of basketball. OSU scored 14 points in 20 minutes.
It was made all the more head-scratching considering OSU shot 61.9 percent in the first half. [PFB]
• Chuba Hubbard is a great running back. Media members are calling him the best out there today.
1. Chuba Hubbard, Oklahoma State — I love Hubbard and think he will put up monster numbers again next season despite likely being overshadowed again on a national stage.
2. Najee Harris, Alabama — Harris over Etienne? This was a tough call but I think Najee has a crazy year.
3. Travis Etienne, Clemson — You know it’s a good running back year when a player like Etienne is No 3. [Rivals.com]
Alabama and Clemson’s running backs are included to scale this for you – Hubbard takes the cake.

• These pictures of Shanghai (somewhat deserted with Coronavirus) are eerie – this interview of a husband who’s wife contracted (potentially) is worse
• Really good faith-based article: social media algorithms don’t reward grace
• I’m still fascinated by the Warriors trading for Andrew Wigins
• Should the Thunder want to keep their first-rounder in 2020?
