Notes

• Missouri senior guard Michael Dixon, who averaged 13.5 points last season, announced plans to transfer after two sexual-assault claims against him became public this week. He has not been charged in either case.

• Four Hofstra men's players — Shaquille Stokes, Jimmy Hall Jr., Kentrell Washington and Dallas Anglin — were charged with burglary after police in Mineola, N.Y., said the players admitted stealing more than $10,000 worth of laptop computers, iPads and other items from students.
