Nebraska is finding ways to win even when it’s ugly, even when their star player goes 1-6 in the first half, which might not have been the case a few years ago. This team constantly has people who pick it up when they need it most and my favorite thing about them is you never […]

Penn State suffered arguably its most embarrassing loss of the season to date, an 80-46 listless blowout against Pitt. Pitt made five of its first eight three-pointers and raced out to an early 15-6 lead in the first six minutes. Penn State was ice cold, making just two of its first 11 field goals. Freddie […]

Nolan Traore had a decent game all around in the high altitude of Mexico City Saturday, but his five turnovers proved to be costly as Long Island fell to Mexico City, 111-102, at the G League Winter Showcase in Orlando. He even flirted with a triple double running the point but the 6’5” French man […]

Hopefully you’ve fully recovered from Carolina’s rollercoaster of a win over Ohio State on Saturday, because the Tar Heels are right back in action tomorrow against ECU. It will only be the fourth men’s basketball game between these in-state schools. Carolina faced ECU in the first round of the 1993 NCAA Tournament, and hosted the […]

The Syracuse Orange are now 8-4 with the final non-conference game approaching, but it hasn’t been totally pretty. The Orange defeated Northeastern by eight points at home on Saturday, but against an opponent that ranks sub-200 in the NET, certainly fans were expecting a more promising result coming off a not-so-convincing win the game prior […]

Good win for the short handed Celtics! I love how much love all our guys got from the Raptors fans. Pritchard, Garza, Gonzalez, White, Minott, Hauser, Queta. All got love and respect in the comments along with some amazement that they were playing so well. They certainly like Celtics players more than their own players. And yet one fan thinks Pritchard has a punchable face. They especially covet our coach. My favorites are in bold.&nb...

Well, it was ugly, but Vanderbilt managed to survive a trip to Memphis on Wednesday. And now comes the second-to-last basketball game of 2025, with Vanderbilt crossing over the Blue Ridge today and going to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where our old gold and black friends from the ACC are 9-3 under sixth-year head coach Steve […]

The Wisconsin Badgers had another loss this week, this time to the Villanova Wildcats in a 76-66 overtime defeat. It was a tough game where the Badgers dug themselves into a hole early, got out of it, and couldn’t finish the job in a poor overtime session that cost them their fourth loss of the […]

Saturday night, Duke lost its first game of the year. The loss came on a neutral site, by one point, to a Top 20 Texas Tech squad with a pre-season All American (JT Toppin) and a dynamic young point guard (Christian Anderson) who may himself challenge for similarly lofty accolades. Despite that star power, the […]

Another big opportunity, another down-to-the-wire showdown and another narrow loss. That’s become the theme of the 2025-26 Northwestern men’s basketball season of late. The Wildcats have now played five games that were decided by fewer than six points — all against Power Conference opponents, with four of those games being losses. Their 61-58 loss to […]

First things first – I want to apologize for not having anything together for the USF game earlier this week – my oldest kid was home sick and between that and my actual job, it just wasn’t going to happen. Shoutout to Josh for covering for me from the Atlanta airport. He gets paid the […]

Anytime a team like North Carolina plays in a competitive game like it did against Ohio State in the annual CBS Sports Classic, there are going to be several players who greatly contributed to help the team secure the one point win. It takes a full team effort to get a win like that, and […]

It’s been a rough start to the season for the Wisconsin Badgers, who are off to their worst start since the 2019-20 season at 7-4. The latest blow was a 76-66 overtime loss to the Villanova Wildcats, where the Badgers had a poor first half, a great second half, and an ugly overtime period. It […]

The Wisconsin Badgers saw their struggles with consistency continue on Friday, losing to the Villanova Wildcats in what was essentially a home game at Fiserv Forum. Wisconsin came out looking like it did against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, not being aggressive on either side of the ball and catering to Villanova’s slower tempo. They weren’t physical […]
