Duke coach Jon Scheyer is “optimistic” that versatile forward Maliq Brown will return this season from a shoulder injury. The 6-foot-9 junior was hurt after playing just 10 minutes in the third-ranked Blue Devils' win at Virginia on Monday. Scheyer said Thursday that medical imaging had found nothing unexpected with what he described as a dislocated shoulder.

After Missouri basketball fans stormed the court following a victory over then-No. 1 Kansas on Dec. 8, Tigers coach Dennis Gates made sure there wouldn’t be an encore after No. 15 Missouri beat No. 4 Alabama.

Arkansas head coach John Calipari sat at the podium Wednesday evening inside Neville Arena in Auburn, Alabama, just minutes after his Razorbacks (15-11, 4-9 SEC) lost yet another close game, this time a 67-60 defeat against the No. 1 Auburn Tigers (24-2, 12-1 SEC). Calipari was disappointed in the loss, but not deterred from his goal of taking his Razorbacks to the NCAA Tournament in March.

There is optimism that Duke will have Maliq Brown back on the court at some point this season. The Blue Devils just don’t know when that could be. Scheyer added that Brown won’t play “in the next week or so.”
