• The Musketeers released their non-conference schedule yesterday; Brad took a first look at it here.
• Speaking of Stainbrooks, Matt took a workout with the Phoenix Suns yesterday. Word on the Twitter machine is that he's also working out for the Clippers, the Lakers, and the Warriors.

Big East

• Chris Mullin chatted with noted restaurant critic and occasional college hoops writer Jon Rothstein about taking over St. John's without any coaching experience and what he's learning along the way.
• Speaking of St. John's, the Red Storm released their AD this week. Or he stepped down, or however you want to say it. Rumble in the Garden takes a look at who might replace him.

Beyond

• Jeff Goodman takes a look at his top 50 teams with a projected starting lineup (Insider required). Xavier slots in a #27 with Myles, Remy, JP, Trevon, and Jalen listed as the starting five.
• Former Michigan State center Garrick Sherman got drunk and silly on Twitter last night.
• I don't really watch the NBA, but this guy was bleeding from the ear but kept playing. That can't be in keeping with their concussion protocols:
