GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Marcus Denmon already had his one shining moment, that freeze-frame picture to keep for a lifetime, long after the highlights of this NCAA tournament fade.

The Missouri freshman snagged an inbounds pass Thursday night, sidestepped to avoid a hand waving in his face, and let history fly. From three-quarters out, with the halftime buzzer about to blare, Denmon's fling dropped flawlessly through the twine to put his team up by 13, and from that second on Mizzou knew it had been touched by something special, something only a handful of teams get to experience as March rushes to a close.

As the University of Connecticut looks forward to the Sweet 16, there's a possibility some serious off-court problems could distract the top-seeded Huskies. Yahoo! Sports has conducted a six-month investigation and has learned that NCAA rules have allegedly been broken by the University.

In a very lengthy and thorough article, Adrian Wojnarowski and Dan Wetzel lay out the details of how Connecticut has likely committed major violations, all revolving around the recruitment of troubled, yet talented, ex-UConn player Nate Miles. The principle allegations involve an agent, goods and services provided to Miles, and too much use of the good ol' cellular telephone.
