Morehead, KY (Ken O'Brien Sports) -
Morehead State officially welcomed new head coach Sean Woods to the fold on Monday.
Named to the post on Saturday, Woods arrives from Mississippi Valley State, which he guided to the NCAA Tournament this past season. He becomes the 13th man to hold the post in program history.
"It's an honor to come back home and do something I love," Woods said. "You're not going to meet a guy more personable, energetic or passionate (about what he does) than me. We're going to be a high-octane team. We're going to play fast, be entertaining and you're going to love the student- athletes we bring to Morehead State."

Philadelphia, PA (Ken O'Brien Sports) -
Welcome back, From the End of the Bench loyalists. It's been awhile since we last met on the first Monday night in April, or should I say the early morning hours after Kentucky finished off its a fate accompli by hoisting the national championship.
Since then, the Wildcats' starting five entered the NBA draft in one press conference - the main draw of a collegiate exodus that included the likes of North Carolina's Kendall Marshall and Harrison Barnes, Connecticut's Jeremy Lamb just in time for the Huskies' one-year NCAA Tournament suspension and Baylor's Perry Jones and Quincy Miller after one underwhelming season apiece.
