MORNING BREW
'One and done' here and gone?
College basketball's landscape should be bracing for a major rule alteration.
The NBA will be renegotiating their collective-bargaining agreement after the conclusion of the 2010-2011 season. Most college basketball fans, including myself, are hoping that the NBA will make a change on their controversial "one and done rule." The current rule forces a player to wait a year after high school before they can be drafted.
The NBA Players Association notified players this past December that they would like to end the age-restricting rule according to ESPN.com.
That request is starting to look like it could become reality. According to The Birmingham News, Auburn basketball coach Tony Barbee recently gave a speech at the Birmingham Tip-Off club in which he stated, "Talking to a lot of people I know at that level, I think it's going to go back to the old day, I think it's going to come out of this new collective-bargaining agreement that the NBA will have to negotiate with the players association."
Barbee has connections in the league that give his words instant credibility. Barbee is represented by super-agent, Leon Rose, who also represents Lebron James and Carmelo

Anthony among others.
If NBA officials do in fact, change the rule, they will most likely change it to one of two scenarios. They might change it to where a player must wait two years out of high school to declare for the draft, or they might allow a player to declare for the draft directly out of high school, and they must wait two years if they choose college.
This can affect Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks in a multitude of ways. If the NBA decides to go back to the old rules, where a player can be drafted straight out of high school or wait two years to be drafted, look for Coach Self to capitalize on the opportunity.
Self was very successful in the past when the old rule was in effect. He recruited the Illinois 2004-2005 team that went 37-2. He left for Kansas that year so he wasn't able to
coach the team. Some of the standouts from that team include NBA long-stays Luther Head and Deron Williams.
Self has only had one player, Xavier Henry, declare for the draft in his time at Kansas. He will be able to continue what he is doing in building teams, while coaches like John Calipari will have to make more of an adjustment, Calipari has built his teams around the "one and done."
College basketball fans need to pay attention to the decisions that will be made by NBA officials this summer. They will most likely be changing the college basketball game as a whole by their decision. We can only hope it's for the better.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Pittsburgh Panthers leap past Mountaineers
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Nasir Robinson scored 15 points and No. 4 Pittsburgh overcame an awful start to beat No. 25 West Virginia 71-6 on Monday night.
Pittsburgh went hard to the glass after being held to a season-
low 23 points in the first half. The Panthers went ahead to stay with 8 minutes left in the game to improve to 5-0 on the road in the Big East and continue their best overall start in conference play.
From start to finish, Pittsburgh pounded the ball inside, piling up 42 points in the paint against a Mountaineers defense that eventually wore down.
Pittsburgh had just three turnovers after halftime and shot 61 percent (17 of 28) from the field in the second half and 44 percent for the game.
Gilbert Brown made a layup and a three-point play during Pittsburgh's ensuing 1-4 run.
West Virginia scored eight of
the game's first 10 points, fell behind only once before halftime and held the Panthers to one field goal over the final 5 minutes of the half. Pittsburgh shot 29 percent (9 of 31) from the field and trailed 25-23 at halftime.
The Panthers matched their first-half output in the first 11 minutes of the second half.
Travon Woodall, Ashton Gibbs' replacement, put the Panthers ahead to stay, 47-46, on a jumper with 8:16 remaining.
Like most games in the Backyard Brawl, West Virginia managed to stay close until the Panthers' decisive run.
