Take two Tyson

Good morning! Football is back tonight, but let’s get to the college hoops news.

Your K-Cups Sat in a Warehouse for Months. Taste It?

Here's why grocery store pods taste flat no matter which brand you grab: coffee's flavor comes from delicate oils that start evaporating right after roasting. Store-bought K-Cups spend months in warehouses and trucks before they ever hit your Keurig — and some big brands deliberately over-roast so you won't notice the staleness.

Angelino's, a family-owned Los Angeles roastery, skips all of it. They roast, grind, and pack their own pods, then ship within days of roasting — never months. Compatible with all Keurig® brewers, from 39¢ a cup, with 50+ flavors from Breakfast Blend to Jamaican Me Crazy. New customers get 15% off their first order — no code, no subscription required.

1. Cade Tyson to return to Minnesota, if eligible

Minnesota got potentially season-changing news on Tuesday, as leading scorer Cade Tyson announced his return to the program.

Tyson, who averaged 19.4 ppg last year and shot 41% from 3, isn't currently eligible, but we'll see what happens. He was one of the initial names listed in the Wisne v. NCAA class-action lawsuit that the NCAA was granted a stay.

If Tyson can suit up for the Golden Gophers, he's the piece that could boost them from making the Crown to making the NCAA Tournament.

Including Tyson, the Gophers return four of their top five scorers (Tyson, Jaylen Crocker-Johnson, Isaac Asuma, and Bobby Durkin). The only piece that departed was point guard Langston Reynolds, who Niko Medved replaced with his former PG at Colorado State, Kyan Evans.

I expect the Golden Gophers to contend for an NCAA Tournament spot with Tyson and be a pesky team, especially at home, without him. The guard play is strong with Asuma and Evans. Most lineups will feature four — or even five — guys who can stretch the floor and shoot it. That meshes well with Medved's offensive philosophy.

Other fifth-year/eligibility news:

• St. John's wing Babacar Sane received a TRO. He's not a fifth-year player, but he played in the G League. 

• There's a motion in the Ohio five-for-five lawsuit to vacate the NCAA's stay.

• Former Nebraska guard Jamarques Lawrence won't attempt to return to school and signed an overseas deal.

• Former Kansas guard Melvin Council refiled his lawsuit in New York.

• Purdue’s Trey Kaufman-Renn spoke to the media after his eligibility hearing.

2. Chattanooga lands three-star guard Jonathan Bradley

Chattanooga head coach Dan Earl has a pretty rich history with high school guards, including Honor Huff and Trey Bonham. He might have his next best homegrown guard prospect.
