I know what I’ll be doing today.
Tweet of the Morning
UK football commitment Jabari Greenwood warming up on the court with Gonzaga (DC) teammates. He's a legit 6-3, maybe 6-4. No. 47 WR in 2015.

Florida faces UConn today in a critical test for both schools. Florida really needs this game in the worst way after dropping a rivalry game to Florida State.
-
South Carolina takes on Iowa State in Brooklyn today. If USC can win this one, or even make a very good showing, it will be putting the SEC on notice that they are a threat this season. I think this Gamecocks team is for real.
