Kyle Wiltjer has decided to transfer from Kentucky.

Wiltjer, entering his junior season, figured to have less playing time due to the strength of John Calipari's incoming class.

"After playing with Canada, Kyle feels like he could have a more prominent role in another program than he might have with us next season," wrote Calipari. "He expressed to me that that’s the kind of situation he wants to be in for his last two years of eligibility. For his future, he may be right."

Cliff Alexander has announced a list of 10 schools he considering.

Alexander, a 6-foot-8 power forward out of Chicago, is one of the top junior prospects in the country.

Alexander is considering Kansas, Michigan State, Kentucky, Louisville, Illinois, DePaul, Indiana, Memphis, Baylor and Arizona.

 Andrew Wiggins chose to enroll in summer school at Kansas instead of competing with the Canadian under-19 team.

Wiggins said he might practice with the Canadian national team later in the summer, but he wanted to acclimate himself as much as possible before his freshman season.

“I know that college is a big step from high school, so I just wanted to make sure I was ready for it,” Wiggins said.

Wiggins’ arrival has hardly gone unnoticed.

“We’ve recruited other good players before, but we haven’t had anybody with this type of attention,” Bill Self said. “I kind of feel for him. He's going to have to be able to tell people no. He’s got professional autograph seekers waiting for him every time he steps out of his apartment, stuff like that.”

USA Basketball has chosen its final roster for the U19 World Championship Team in Prague beginning next week.

The team will be coached by Billy Donovan.

The NCAA will no longer hold their regional finals in dome stadiums and instead always opt for regular-sized arenas.

The Final Four will continue to be held in dome stadiums.

The NCAA had used domes in the regional by design and also as dry runs before the venue hosted a Final Four.

Mark Cuban is financing a flopping study conducted by biomechanics experts at Southern Methodist.

"Flopping is a player’s deliberate act of falling, or recoiling unnecessarily from a nearby opponent, to deceive game officials," writes Allen in a press release. "Athletes engage in dramatic flopping to create the illusion of illegal contact, hoping to bait officials into calling undeserved fouls on opponents."

The Cuban-owned company Radical Hoops Ltd. awarded a grant of more than $100,000 to fund the 18-month research study at SMU.

The NBA instituted anti-flopping rules in 2012 to discourage the practice.
