On Dec. 2, 1942, scientists achieved the world’s first controlled nuclear chain reaction, under the stands of a college football stadium at the University of Chicago. The reactor looked nothing like the nuclear power plants of today: no hourglass-shaped cooling towers, no transmission lines, no yellow trefoils on the doors and gates. It was essentially a pile of blocks, some uranium, and much more graphite, assembled to a height of about 20 feet. Somehow it worked; the group drank Chianti to celebrate.

The final significant transfer decision of this frenzied college basketball offseason materialized Monday evening in a choice that came down to two power programs from the same state battling for the best shooter in the sport. Former Iowa State Cyclone Milan Momcilovic has committed to Kentucky, he announced on Instagram, giving the Wildcats one of college hoops’ most coveted free agents — and vaulting their ceiling in the process. The 6-foot-8 forward from Pewaukee, Wisconsin, averaged 16.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and shot 48.7% from 3-point range last season.
