No matter who stands as head coach of VCU’s storied men’s basketball program, the title always comes with one certainty: expectations. It’s a weight that first-year Rams head coach Phil Martelli Jr. was willing to bear when he first took the job in March 2025 after leading Bryant to the NCAA Tournament. “VCU and especially […]
FIRST HALF ANALYSIS: If you like offensive explosions, the first half was not for you. If you like Big Ten defensive slugfests, well this was your cup of tea. Northwestern started the game with 3 turnovers before attempting a field goal, but Nebraska was a meager 2-7 from the floor in the first 4 minutes. […]
In its tightest game of the season from start to finish, UConn women’s basketball used a big fourth quarter to pull past the Marquette Golden Eagles 71-56 on Saturday at the Al McGuire Center.

Y’all, this one isn’t going to be pretty. Houston enters today’s game as the consensus #3 team in the nation and currently sits at 22-2 overall and 10-1 in Big 12 play. And yet, they are currently only 22.5-point favorites over the visiting TangCats, a team sitting at 10-14 overall, 1-10 in Big 12 play, […]
With snow covering half of the bleachers and a midday start on Valentine’s Day, No. 6 Maryland women’s lacrosse’s matchup with No. 12 Virginia was anything but alluring for fans.

In a tale that’s become all too common for the Wildcats, Northwestern stayed competitive with No. 7 Nebraska until the Cornhuskers were finally able to find themselves in the latter parts of the second-half, beating the ‘Cats 68-49. For Northwestern, Nick Martinelli led the way with just 11 points but still struggled throughout, going 4-for-12 […]
The Clemson Tigers fell to the no. 4 Duke Blue Devils, 67–54, on Saturday afternoon in Durham, ending Clemson’s brief stay atop the ACC standings and snapping a program‑record 14‑game conference road winning streak.

After six days off, Rutgers women’s basketball returned to the hardwood as they opened up their two-game Midwestern road trip at Purdue.

It was during the opening minute of the UNC-Syracuse game that the thought first crossed my mind: it seems like the Heels rarely win the opening tip. The Orange’s William Kyle III had just won the tip against Henri Veesaar, although Syracuse missed their opening jumper and UNC corralled the rebound. Still, it felt to […]
