Turner’s summer league digs (photo: USA Hoops)
On the heels of earning props from various NBA scouts during three days of tryouts for Bo Ryan’s World University Games squad, Evan Turner has seen moderate success in the three exhibition games making up the 2009 Serbia International Invitational preceding the start of the actual World University Games [...]
Mullens to call OKC home (D. Harker)
Well, so much for B.J.’s tweet that the Bulls would take him at 16.
In a not so surprising draft, Mullens fell to #24 before being traded to Oklahoma City (#25). The move to OKC could prove to be a good thing as Mullens can develop in relative obscurity and [...]
Where will BJ and his crustache call home this year?
As Chris mentioned briefly in his post yesterday, BJ Mullens will hear his name called Thursday night at the 2009 NBA Draft in Madison Square Garden. While it is not a question of if the 7-foot freshman will be drafted, there is a big question of [...]

With the main cogs in the AAU machine known as All-Ohio Red already in the fold for 2010, Thad Matta’s recent score in the form of the squad’s under the radar point guard could prove to be a crucial get for the program.
Aaron Craft, the recent decommit previously [...]
The BTN is starting up a fan council and you could be on it. The council will help shape the programming of the network and provide feedback throughout the football and basketball season. It also will get you to events like the football kickoff luncheon and/or the semi’s of the hoops tournament.

Gar-mire-witzki throws one down (Davidson)
In case you weren’t aware, B.J. Mullens isn’t hurting from a lack of self-confidence.
While it’s no secret B.J. never really bought into Matta’s program even though he committed to OSU out of the womb, his modest stat line as a freshman didn’t stop him from comparing his game to some of [...]
So says The Lantern’s headline at least. Opposing fans rejoiced for a minute until Vico thoroughly debunked the severity of the claims:
