ACC Players In The NBA

2024-25 Basketball Recap and Returning Players

2024-25 Recap I came into the 2024-25 season with some hope, and it was dashed almost immediately when Georgia Tech was run off the floor at McCamish by North Florida. The Yellow Jackets followed that up by looking largely uncompetitive in all 4 of their non-conference games against major competition (Georgia, Cincinnati, Oklahoma, and Northwestern). […]

Tomislav Ivisic’s potential impact for the 2025-26 Illini

Tomislav Ivisic, a 7-foot-1 second-year junior from Croatia, is arguably the Illini’s best returning player for this coming season. He was a huge factor for the team last season, averaging 13 points, 7.7 rebounds, as well as 2.3 assists per game. The Illini fan base, as well as the coaching staff, were both very happy […]

Players to watch and keys to the game for Kentucky vs. Georgetown

Kentucky basketball may not be playing the No. 1 team in the country Thursday night, but the Georgetown Hoyas are still a significant opponent for the Wildcats.

By The Numbers: Purdue 92 U. Indy 49

The Purdue Boilermakers finished up their exhibition portion of their schedule with a 92-49 win over the University of Indianapolis Greyhounds. Purdue clearly looked the part of an early team still trying to figure out the positions around their big three headed into the season. The trio of TKR, Smith, and Loyer didn’t play above […]
