Memorial Magic is back in a very big way for Vanderbilt with the Southeastern Conference’s only private university as the nation’s only program with both its men’s and women’s teams still undefeated.

A person with direct knowledge of the decision says South Carolina and Chattanooga’s Lamont Paris have reached a five-year deal for him to become the next men’s basketball coach.

LSU is filling its men’s basketball coaching vacancy with Murray State's Matt McMahon.

Tevin Brown scored 23 points to lead No. 22 Murray State over Morehead State 71-67 to give the Racers their 20th consecutive victory, the Ohio Valley Conference tournament title and an automatic spot in the NCAA Tournament.
