According to the Sun, Maryland said it has not yet officially granted Goins’ release. Several Maryland fan Web sites reported that Goins was leaving. The rarely used Freshman big man is expected to transfer to a smaller DI school.

Terence Morris will play for CSKA Moscow against Regal FC Barcelona at noon EST on Friday, May 1, while Drew Nicholas and Sarunas Jasikevicius will take their Panathinaikos team into the second semifinal against Greek League rival Olympiacos at 3 p.m. EST. Both games will be available on NBA TV.
