Michigan guard Tim Hardaway Jr. is leaving the Wolverines early for the NBA Draft. "Everybody's going in there with the same mindset," Hardaway said. "There's no leeway." Hardaway announced Wednesday that he will forgo his senior season at Michigan and enter the NBA Draft. He's the second Wolverine to declare early for this year's draft -- national Player of the Year Trey Burke announced his departure Sunday.

After leading Michigan to the national title game last week, star guard Trey Burke has decided to leave for the NBA.

Rick Pitino held court in a tunnel beneath the Georgia Dome, going on and on about the grittiest bunch of guys he's ever coached. One of them sat in the corner of the locker room, a net around his neck, grinning away. The Louisville Cardinals vowed to finish the job for Kevin Ware.

Former Duke standout Grant Hill is criticizing former Michigan star Jalen Rose for saying the Blue Devils "only recruited black players that were 'Uncle Toms."'

Joe Paterno reached another magic number and Michigan played maybe the wildest game in its storied history. All that as one national championship contender made an impressive statement and another said goodbye to its title hopes.
