NCAA overturns sanctions against Georgia Tech men's basketball program on appeal

The NCAA has vacated multiple sanctions levied against the Georgia Tech men's basketball program in an appeal ruling, potentially helping the school recoup scholarships and recruiting visitation privileges. Georgia Tech was hit with major recruiting violations in 2019, including a postsason ban served in 2020, involving former assistant Darryl LaBarrie and Ron Bell, a friend of coach Josh Pastner. Tech was hit with the loss of one scholarship per year until September 2023 and a ban on recruits attending home basketball games on official visits, and was reprimanded for "intentional, willful or blatant disregard for the NCAA constitution and bylaws." The infractions appeals committee, however, is sending all of that back to the NCAA's committee on infractions for further consideration, which could shorten the window of scholarship loss.

Who's the top 2020-21 player of the year candidate in every women's college basketball conference?
The 2020-21 national player of the year award for women's college basketball still feels like an open race between multiple players. The picture is a little more clear in each conference.

ACC Front-runner: Dana Evans, Louisville Cardinals
A candidate for national player of the year, the senior is leading the league in scoring (20.8 PPG), plus is averaging 4.3 assists. The guard is in the driver's seat to repeat as ACC player of the year.
 
Kessler, Tar Heels rally from 16 down to upset No. 11 FSU 78-70
The 7-foot-1 freshman Walker Kessler scored a season-high 20 points and also had season highs of eight rebounds and four blocks for the Tar Heels (15-8, 9-5). RaiQuan Gray scored 17 points for The Seminoles (14-4, 10-3), which went from being in firm control to watching it slip away amid a mistake-filled second half.

Aluma, No. 16 Virginia Tech pound Wake Forest 84-46
Keve Aluma scored 23 points, Tyrece Radford had 15 and the 16th-ranked The Hokies (15-5, 9-4) won for the fourth time in six games and remain in third place in the ACC standings. Jonah Antonio led the Demon Deacons (6-13, 3-13) with 12 points. Wake Forest has lost five straight games.
 
Louisville Cardinals basketball player Malik Williams out 4-6 weeks after reinjuring foot

Louisville forward/center Malik Williams will miss four to six weeks after reinjuring his right foot in just his third game after returning from nearly a year away because of injury. Williams won't require additional surgery for the third injury to the foot since September 2019. The 6-foot-11 senior debuted Feb. 20 against North Carolina after missing the first 15 games following November surgery to repair a fractured fifth metatarsal. The two-time team captain was sidelined for the first four games last season after breaking a bone in the foot and having a screw inserted, but he finished as the runner-up for Atlantic Coast Conference Sixth Man of the Year.
