There's a lot of news each day in college sports and in Indiana Athletics, the Hoosier's Alec Busse highlights them
ANTHONY WALKER ON CAMPUS
Miami (Fla.) transfer forward Anthony Walker is on campus, he posted on social media on Monday. Walker is the final member of Indiana's roster to join the team for summer workouts. He was finishing classes at Miami before moving to Bloomington to join his new teammates.
The fifth-year player transfers to Indiana after averaging just under 5.0 points a game as Hurricane with 2.5 rebounds a night. His best season was as a sophomore in 2020-21when he started 16 of 26 games and averaged 9.6 points game.
Walker joins a frontcourt filled with three new players ahead of the 2023-24 season. Indiana added three transfers, including Walker to the frontcourt with Oregon big Kel'el Ware and Payton Sparks joining Walker.
PAINTER SERVING AS AN ASSISTANT COACH FOR USA SELECT TEAM
Purdue head coach Matt Painter is serving as an assistant coach for Team USA's Select Team that is competing the FIBA World Cup.
Team USA's roster features 14 players, most of whom are recent NBA Draft selections with Orlando Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley serving as the head coach.
Cade Cunningham, Chet Holmgren and Keegan Murray are three of the NBA's young American stars competing in the event. Jalen Williams, who finished second in Rookie of the Year voting, is also on the team along with Trey Murphy, Herb Jones and Jalen Green.
The group is playing in five exhibition games in Las Vegas, Malaga, Spain and Abu Dhabi before World Cup play starts in late August in the Philippines.
KANSAS-UNC AGREE TO HOME-AND-HOME
Kansas and North Carolina, two of college basketball's most recognizable programs, announced a home-and-home scheduling agreement for the 2024-25 season on Monday.
The first game is to be played in Allen Fieldhouse on Nov. 8 with Hubert Davis' North Carolina team playing on the road. The next year, Kansas travels to North Carolina on Nov. 14 to play at the Deam Smith Center.
These will be two great games from programs whose rich histories are intertwined so much,” Kansas coach Bill Self said in a release. “It will be a special day in both Chapel Hill and Lawrence when we play and I am looking forward to it.”
The two schools have met 12 times throughout their history, most recently in the 2022 national championship with Kansas winning the title and extending their wining streak over North Carolina to four games.
“These two games should be exciting for players and coaches on both teams and a win for fans of college basketball,” said Davis. “It’s an opportunity for two great programs to play in each other’s home arenas, which are among the best and most historic in our game.”
