Texas A&M faces backcourt uncertainty as Duke Miles re-enters transfer portal
Texas A&M faces backcourt uncertainty as Duke Miles re-enters transfer portal Texas A&M basketball faces another shake-up as Oklahoma transfer guard Duke Miles re-enters the NCAA transfer portal, just over a week after committing to the Aggies. Miles, who was expected to compete for a starting role under new head coach Bucky McMillan, has officially submitted paperwork to be released from his National Letter of Intent (NLI). This marks his second decommitment of the transfer cycle, following his earlier decision to back out of a commitment to Virginia. The reason behind Miles' departure remains unclear, but speculation suggests Texas A&M's pursuit of another guard may have influenced his decision. Whether the Aggies were proactively seeking additional backcourt talent or Miles reacted to the news of another potential addition, his exit leaves a gap in McMillan's roster-building efforts. With the Aggies actively reshaping their lineup through the transfer portal, McMillan and his staff will now look to secure another guard to bolster their roster for the upcoming season. Texas A&M's aggressive approach in the portal continues to shape the future of Aggies basketball, as they aim to build a competitive squad for SEC play.

Oklahoma's Duke Miles chips teeth in painful attempt to dive for loose ball
Oklahoma Sooners men's basketball guard Duke Miles suffered a horrific injury while diving for a loose ball during the team's win over Mississippi State on Saturday. Miles tried to get the loose ball, but he face-planted on the hardwood floor of the Lloyd Noble Center. Images showed the senior transfer from High Point spitting out pieces of his teeth as he appeared to be in tremendous pain as he lay on the court. Oklahoma held a 73-64 lead with 6:57 left in the game at that point. The Sooners beat the Bulldogs 93-87. The school's trainer, Seth Tisdale, told the school's radio broadcast team that Miles chipped two teeth. "Our team dentist was in [the locker room] when I went to do radio," Sooners head coach Porter Moser said, via CBS Sports. "His teeth aren't that pretty right now. He was doing fine when I left. He was just hustling, diving for a ball." Miles did return to the floor after the incident. He had three points in 16 minutes for Oklahoma. He started his collegiate career at Troy and played through his junior season. He transferred to High Point before the 2023-24 season and averaged 17.5 points per game with a 52.8% shooting percentage. He has started in each of the 27 games he's appeared in for the Sooners this season. He is averaging 10.1 points and 2.1 assists per game. Oklahoma is 17-10 on the season and 4-10 against SEC opponents. The Sooners are hoping to clinch a spot in the field of 68 for the NCAA Tournament.
