We are halfway through the 2019-2020 college basketball season already. Really? Yup, really. Geesh, what did I miss? Well, if you would like a little recap of what happened since December and a bit of humor, here’s your midseason college basketball update – with jokes, compliments of Dave Barend and collegehoopshumor.com.

UNC has a player whose name is Leaky. What would cause someone to name a kid Leaky? My best guess is a faulty condom.

After dismissing two of its best scorers, Georgetown tallied an impressive 81 points to beast OSU. Seems like Georgetown’s next step is pretty obvious: get rid of all of its scorers.

The NCAA reported it’s having a hard time figuring out how it will allow college athletes to receive compensation. Seems easy to me: just keep doing what they’ve always done.

Illinois center Kofi Cockburn pronounces his last name Co-Burn. I’m not sure how. But I’m pretty positive I know why.

Nick Elam, a Ball State professor, created a way for basketball games to end without any need for intentional fouls. They are calling it the “Elam Ending”. Wonder what they’d call it if Nick’s last name was Happy?

During KU’s flight Sunday, an engine spewed sparks and failed before a remarkably safe landing. Even more remarkable: there’s now a lot of really tall guys who will never again complain about a lack of legroom on a bus.

Two years ago, Wofford surprised people by beating UNC. Wofford surprised people again by beating UNC last week. Got to wonder if these people get similarly surprised every time they stick their fingers in an electric outlet.

College basketball’s “NeverForget” September 11th Classic took place place on December 14th. This begs the question: How did they forget that September 11th took place on September 11th?

KU’s Bill Self has managed to stop all rumors that next season he’ll be coaching in San Antonio. But rumors still persist that next season he’ll be coaching in Leavenworth.
