The 2024 ACC / SEC Challenge was a sad affair. The SEC won 14 of 16, Only Duke and Clemson won from the ACC. And coincidentally, 14 is the same number of SEC teams that made the NCAA tournament. The ACC made a strong statement on day 1. Let’s do that again! ACC / SEC […]

It wasn’t pretty by any means, but UNC got its act together late and made just enough plays to get a win at Rupp Arena for the first time since 2007. Derek Dixon hit a stepback three-pointer and a layup in the final minutes to give UNC the final advantage in a back-and-forth bout, surviving […]

There are nights when the shots aren’t going to fall. That’s basketball. Then there was Tuesday night in Lexington, where the Kentucky Wildcats shot an abysmal 1-of-13 from three-point range in a 67-64 loss to the North Carolina Tar Heels.

Pharrel Payne is an unstoppable force against low-major teams. The center averaged 21.5 points and 6.5 rebounds in 29 minutes per game against Coppin State and Alcorn State, the two he’d played against entering Tuesday. But the senior saved his best for Wagner, the final low-major opponent of his career. On a night where Maryland […]

One down, 19 to go. The expectation of a 27th Big Ten Men’s Basketball Championship has come naturally this season. Purdue has higher goals, sure, but winning yet another Big Ten championship (a sixth under Matt Painter) is still really nice. We can never take those for granted, and a third in four seasons is […]

That was a disaster. In Wake’s first meaningful game in front of the home fans, the Deacs were completely run out of the gym by the Oklahoma Sooners by a score of 86-68. Wake was just bad at every level in this one, and they fall to 1-3 in non-buy games this season. I don’t […]

Rutgers men’s basketball fell in its first Big Ten game of the season to No.1 Purdue, 81-65. The Scarlet Knights had no answer for the Boilermakers’ machine-like efficiency, as Purdue would earn their eighth victory of the year to stay undefeated.

On the first Tuesday of December, Michigan State got its Big Ten slate underway with a home game against the Iowa Hawkeyes. I know many were worried about the trap game with a date with Duke on the horizon, and we had the news just before game time that freshman phenom Cam Ward would not […]

The Iowa Hawkeyes (7-1, 0-1) lost in Ben McCollum’s first Big Ten game, 71-52, to a daunting Michigan State team (8-0, 1-0) who looked every part of a top 10 team at home. I’ll spare the full recap but it was extended scoreless droughts which kept the Hawkeyes from keeping this one closer, though they […]

We are just moments away from the Tar Heels facing off against the Kentucky Wildcats at Rupp Arena. UNC has historically struggled when playing Kentucky on their home court, currently holding a 2-5 record.

I’m not a “fire them all” type of writer or sports fan. I have family in the college coaching profession, and they’ve been fired…multiple times, it’s never fun. In fact, K-State fired my uncle (along with everyone else on the Stan Parrish staff) in 1988, ending their stay in Manhattan. Hell, the one thing a […]
