Avert your eyes: This college basketball season has cratered into uncharted territory

LAS VEGAS — It’s two months into the college basketball season and if you haven’t been watching, you’ve missed absolutely nothing. A PSA to casual basketball fans: Don’t turn on your TV until March.

Here’s the short recap.

The best player in the country and potential No. 1 NBA draft pick, James Wiseman, left Memphis after only playing three games. Early in the season, the NCAA suspended Wiseman for 12 games and fined him $11,500 for a recruiting violation. Wiseman announced on Dec. 19 that he has hired an agent and is focused on preparing for the draft.
