Mike Miller

Mike Miller has been NBCSports.com's college basketball editor since 2003. It's a position he relishes; no wonder considering he transferred to Kansas to watch Paul Pierce play. Most of his favorite sports memories involve college hoops, usually during March, when every waking moment is spent thinking about March Madness.



Vols not messing around with Negedu

Tennessee isn’t messing around when it comes to Emmanuel Negedu’s basketball career.

Regardless of what the Vols need on the court – like a promising 6-7 forward – docs must have told coach Bruce Pearl just how serious hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can be. (Read up on it here.)

“I would ask that folks continue to pray for him as he is in no immediate cause for concern right now in the hospital, but obviously decisions are being made about his future,” Pearl said in a brief statement Wednesday. “We would just ask that folks please stop speculating about what may or may not happen.”

Negedu reportedly did not have a pulse after collapsing Monday and had to be revived by a defibrillator. That’d scare anyone.
