Plenty pumped for tonight’s double dip; more so than I was for the 24-hour thing, really. Will end up DVR’ing my 90-minute troika of funny TV (”The Office,” “3o Rock,” “It’s Always Sunny … “) and put that off until the weekend. ...

That didn’t take too long, did it? We can’t even enjoy two weeks of college basketball without a story about cheating surfacing. This is kind of a doozy, and there’s a lot of layers involved, so follow along.

Lewis Jackson is out indefinitely after surgery on his foot. It could be a big blow to Purdue in a rumored rough Big Ten.

Miami of Ohio head coach Charlie Coles.
Charlie Coles did what so few coaches can do: answered a silly question he thought was stupid and turned it into a funny.
