Around the SB Nation: the emperor wears split pants
Basketball
- A Sea of Blue, on Kentucky's last-second victory over Miami of Ohio last night:
I think ... no, I am absolutely positive that John Calipari learned far more than the team did tonight. He not only learned about the team, but about himself. Calipari has approached this season a bit like an emperor who has the favor of the people -- a man who not only expects to succeed, but darn well knows he will.
Oh, Coach Cal has been humble in person, and dutifully warned us that the team will look ugly at first, but all that pretense has not been able to hide the mien of an emperor. I'd be willing to bet he doesn't feel much like an emperor right now.
- According to Carolina March, the Tar Heels' 88-77 win over Valparaiso showed that North Carolina was "not ready for the national stage," but fortunately, "[t]hey've got until Thursday to fix that."
- Michigan State blog The Only Colors and Gonzaga blog The Slipper Still Fits do a bit of tag-teaming in previewing tonight's game between the Spartans and the Bulldogs.

Talking Points: Pearl goes for 2nd and 100th victory
Basketball
- Both the men and the women play tonight, the men at home against UNC-Asheville and the women in San Antonio against Texas Tech. Bruce Pearl can notch his 100th Tennessee victory tonight, which would make him the fourth SEC coach to reach the 100 mark along with Florida's Billy Donovan, Mississippi State's Rick Stansbury, and Vandy's Kevin Stallings. Of course, Bruce has done it in only 137 tries while it took Donovan 154, Stansbury 158, and Stallings 179. So poo on them. And anyway, Pearl's more interesting in the second victory of the season than he is in the 100th of his tenure.
- Meanwhile, the Ladies are traveling to Texas without Alyssia Brewer and Kamiko Williams because of the dreaded "violation of team rules," which for the women probably means failing to sit in the first three rows at class rather than failing to pass a drug test.
- Point guard Trae Golden, rated No. 55 in the Rivals 150, confirmed yesterday that he will enlist as a Volunteer this morning at 10:30. Golden joins shooting guard Jordan McRae, who signed last Thursday, in the Class of 2010.
