For years, the relationship between the Mountain West and the Pac-12 has lived somewhere between regional kinship and identity crisis; neighbors separated not just by geography, but by perception. Now, with both leagues navigating uncertain futures and evolving reputations, the question deserves more than surface-level debate. So, should the Mountain West and Pac-12 schedule more […]
The whole concept of Blue Bloods is annoying. Some teams have been very successful over the decades, obviously, including Duke. But the term seems kind of dumb. That said, people use it, so who would be a Blue Blood? Most of these teams would probably make your list, but some you’d surely drop. Indiana has […]
Donovan Davis, a 6-foot-8 small forward in the 2027 class out of Freedom High School (Kaukauna, Wis.), committed to the Cyclones on Wednesday at Freedom High School’s Field House. He also streamed his decision, dubbed the “2026 decision” – akin to LeBron’s Decision in 2010 – by associate principal and activities director James Finster, live […]

87 hitters have taken 100 PA so far in AA leagues so far this season. The best batting line among them belongs to the Blue Jays’ 2024 fourth round draft pick, Sean Keys. Keys played his college ball at Bucknell, putting up ridiculous numbers against pretty pedestrian Patriot League competition. He popped a bit with […]
Just the Facts Wait, why are we doing one of these? Boston was a playoff team! Yes they were! No matter what happens, they will be picking at least 23rd in this Draft. Mathis Preston or ALEXANDER COMMAND can be yours when it comes down to it! But! As a result of the Brandon Carlo […]
Good morning, BBN! Things on the recruiting trail have started to go quiet for the Kentucky Wildcats as they now look to fill out their remaining spots on next season’s roster.

Colts rookie CJ Allen talks the talk! IU grabs seven-footer! Pacers lineup will dazzle after lottery
The next Flying Knueppel, Kager, is going to commit to a college relatively soon, and Duke is definitely interested, and Jon Scheyer has offered. Generally listed at 6-7 but also as high as 6-10, like his brother Kon, Kager has a great stroke from outside. Duke, of course, is not the only school interested. Wisconsin […]
The Players Era Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada, heard the concerns from the fans and created two brackets. The first will be an eight-team bracket the week of Nov. 16, the week before Thanksgiving. The Gonzaga Bulldogs will be playing in the 16-team bracket the week of Nov. 23, the week of Thanksgiving. ESPN is […]
Allow me to get my recantation out of the way forthwith. Then we can move on. Mingling in the Commentariat, as I always do, I have joined recent exuberance in the threads as Coach Pat Kelsey has been piecing together next campaign’s fascinating roster. As obsessives are wont to do, there has been much conjecture […]
After much uncertainty, it appears the Louisville men’s basketball team will indeed compete at the third annual Players Era Festival Tournament in Las Vegas over Thanksgiving week. The event announced Thursday morning that it’s expanding to 24 teams in 2026, with two separate bracket-play tournaments over the course of two weeks in Vegas. The PEF […]
Portal season has been pretty quiet on the women’s side, but no doubt that ex-Colorado guard Desiree Wooten was a critical recent addition to Wes Moore. Not only does Wooten give NC State a second reliable scorer in the backcourt, she’ll also help replace some of the three-point production that Zam Jones took with her. […]
It pains me to say this, but the NCAA Tournament is officially moving to a 76-team field. On Thursday, the Division I men’s and women’s basketball committees voted to expand both tournaments from 68 teams to 76, which will begin in the 2027 tournaments, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander. The vote was unanimous. This […]
Rutgers basketball head coach Steve Pikiell recently filmed an episode of his podcast, during which he had the chance to discuss the transfer portal window now that the dust appears to have settled. He started off the podcast by talking about how important it was for the team to retain a core group of players, […]
It’s hardly new for Syracuse fans to be angry at a national media member, but it’s not Joe Lunardi drawing the ire right now. Rather, Jeff Goodman called the Orange one of his top five offseason losers on an episode of the Field of 68 Podcast on Monday. The Orange joined Kentucky, Texas Tech, Alabama, […]
Dan Issel is one of the legends of Kentucky Basketball. Issel is Kentucky’s all-time leading scorer and one of the best to wear the blue and white, so it was interesting to see Issel join Lou Williams, Michelle Beadle and Chandler Parsons on Run It Back to talk about Kentucky. Maybe the most interesting bit was […]
