1. Assane Sene finds a home at Virginia - College Basketball Nation Blog - ESPN

    I never ask people to link my stuff, but I did this week, because I wanted a national audience for my local work about a guy who doesn’t have a national profile. Thanks to Eamonn Brennan from ESPN for giving his thoughtful take:

    “It’s a hokey notion, but I’m about to say it: This is why college basketball, or college athletics in general — for all its problems and pitfalls and corruption and greed — is worth preserving. It may not be the best model for the No. 1 prospect in the country each year, the kid who dreams of one day making money for his immense abilities. But for guys like Assane Sene, college hoops is the dream.”
