  Boswell intentionally missed the second free throw and got his own rebound near the baseline to the left of the basket, but officials ruled that his potential game-tying shot attempt while falling out of bounds went over the back of the basket. Michigan State then inbounded the ball to kill the remaining 0.9 seconds on the clock.

Just one day after announcing an anticipated comeback, Hall of Fame broadcaster Dick Vitale said he will have to delay his return due to a health issue unrelated to the cancer that has kept him out of the booth since 2023.

• In a statement posted by ESPN, Vitale said he suffered an accident at his home in Florida "that has created some new health challenges and near-term physical limitations for me."

  ESPN announced Friday that Vitale was scheduled to be on the call for Duke's game at Wake Forest on Jan. 25 in Winston Salem, N.C. Vitale's most recent game assignment was April 3, 2023, calling the international broadcast of the San Diego State vs. UConn national championship for ESPN.

  "I'm devastated that I won't be courtside with my ESPN buddy Dave O'Brien and with all the players and fans, especially because of the overwhelming response I received when news of my planned return was announced," Vitale's statement said. "I was anxiously awaiting the chance to feel the excitement and energy of a college basketball environment for the first time in nearly two years. Now, I'm just going to wait some more."

  No timetable for his return was given, and ESPN made no further comment.

  Vitale, 85, battled four types of cancer for more than three years and is only months removed from a 2024 surgery to address a lymph node in his neck diagnosed as cancer.

  Vitale announced on Jan. 8 that he was cancer-free, the most recent disclosure in the health battle he chose to make public through social media platforms.

  In 2021, Vitale was diagnosed with lymphoma, which followed multiple surgeries to remove melanoma. In 2022, he announced he was cancer-free. Then in 2023, he was diagnosed with vocal cord cancer and underwent radiation.

  He announced he was cancer-free for the third time in November 2023.

  Vitale joined ESPN during the 1979-80 season and called his first major college basketball game on Dec. 5, 1979. He has been the game analyst for more than 1,000 games and was inducted into the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame in 2024.

Florida will allow assistant coach Taurean Green to continue in his role after it was revealed in a Title IX investigation that he faces a sexual assault allegation.

• The Gators, ranked No. 5 in the AP poll this week, host Texas on Saturday. Head coach Todd Golden said Green will be with the team for that game.

  "I would suggest people do not rush to judgment based off a headline," Golden told reporters Friday. "For me, I am just frustrated and disappointed that a Title IX mechanism that is created to protect both sides during a situation like this -- that confidentiality and privacy continues to be abused.

  "So as frustrating and as disappointing and as hard as it is to do, I am going to do what I think I need to do and continue to respect the process, as I have."

  Golden himself has been the subject of an investigation, with multiple women having accused him of sexually harassing and stalking female students at Florida. He's continued to coach since the complaint was filed in September; it was first reported on publicly in November, soon after the basketball season had begun.

  Green's accuser told ESPN that she chose to come forward after she was asked by investigators to participate in an interview about Golden's conduct.

  The woman said that Green arranged a meeting with him inside a Florida athletic facility, where he kissed her and attempted to put his hand down her pants, ESPN reported Thursday. After she told him no, Green allegedly tried again before she was able to get away.

  The woman said that prior to the incident, she and Green had only "exchanged casual greetings."

  Green, 38, played basketball at Florida and was on the teams that won the 2006 and 2007 national titles. After playing 17 games in the NBA in 2007-08, he had a lengthy playing career overseas and came back to Florida in 2022 as a director of player development. He was promoted to an assistant coach role in 2023.

  Florida's Title IX investigations are still ongoing.

The sprained ankle Auburn's Johni Broome suffered Saturday in a win over South Carolina isn't as bad as initially feared, and he won't need surgery, The Field of 68 reported.

• Broome underwent an MRI on Sunday that showed the sprained left ankle. He is "likely to miss some time but it shouldn't be too many games," per the report..

  After lying on the court for a few minutes, Broome was helped off the floor by two members of Auburn's support staff.

  Broome, a 6-foot-10 fifth-year senior in his third season with No. 2 Auburn (15-1, 3-0 SEC), returned to court for the postgame prayer but required two teammates to assist him. He did not appear to put any weight on the ankle, which was wrapped.

  Broome totaled six points and three rebounds on 3-of-11 shooting in 24 minutes before the injury. A 2024 All-SEC first-team selection and SEC Tournament MVP, Broome is averaging 17.9 points (fourth in SEC) and 10.7 rebounds (first in SEC).

A month after trumpeting Dickie V is cancer-free, legendary college basketball broadcaster Dick Vitale said Wednesday he has been cleared by doctors to return to the sideline and call games for ESPN.

• "Just had scope of my vocal cords & I was very emotional with the great report by Dr ZEITELS . He said the vocal cords are cancer free & he feels I can return to my love of being at courtside for @espn," Vitale posted via X with photo evidence from the examination.

  Vitale, 85, declared in December that he was cancer-free after his fourth diagnosis in four years. He cleared the latest setback which was dealt in June, when doctors advised he needed surgery to address lymph node cancer just six months after beating his previous cancer diagnosis.

  A beloved figure in the sport, Vitale has not worked a college basketball broadcast since 2022.

  He was diagnosed with both melanoma and lymphoma in 2021. After announcing he was cancer-free in 2022, he was diagnosed with laryngeal (vocal cord) cancer in 2023. He said in December of last year that he was given a clean bill of health.

  A former head coach for Detroit Mercy and the NBA's Detroit Pistons, Vitale called ESPN's first college basketball broadcast in the company's first year of existence in 1979.
