In Wednesday’s ACC Action, Syracuse survived Cal in double-overtime 107-100, Stanford got by BC 70-64, Wake Forest took out Georgia Tech 83-67, and Virginia Tech upset Clemson 76-66. Even more impressively, this was a huge road win. This game was nip and tuck for about 18 minutes before the Hokies pushed out in front on […]
The long road trip to South Bend didn’t end happily for the Hokies, a rough 3rd quarter stall flipped a promising game to a road loss, and then their face-off against NC State in Cassell ran into a post and a 2nd quarter blender that ended the game by the half. The coaching staff and […]
Happy Thursday, everyone. Alabama basketball took care of business in Oxford last night, and after the game Nate Oats shared that Rebels’ coach Chris Beard had reached out in support of Charles Bediako. From Florida to Auburn, the “G League dropout” chants made waves on social media each time. “He said, ‘Look, I assure you […]
Payton Pritchard spent the first 48 games as the Celtics starting point guard. Pritchard had never been a full-time starter, starting just 17 of 347 career games entering this season. He finally had the opportunity this season until the Celtics traded Anfernee Simons to the Bulls. The trade left the Celtics without a guard off […]

A REFLECTION ON BIG TEN BASKETBALL Last night I was awake, drinking some wine and watching Penn State play the University of Washington in a Big Ten basketball game. In the 1890s, these were the kinds of sporting contests reserved for weeklong voyages that likely involved the largesse of George Pullman and James J. Hill, […]

Michigan State is coming off a huge home win against Illinois but their last road trip was a disaster. The Spartans struggled terribly for 37 minutes at Minnesota on February 4 before a comeback effort in the last few minutes ultimately fell short. This week, MSU travels to the Kohl Center in Madison, WI to […]
The 2025-26 UW Men’s Basketball season has been defined by respectable performances against superior rosters. There have been low moments (the loss to Seattle U.) and high points (the victory over Ohio St), but the hallmark of this UW team has been its ability to hang in against top teams without actually getting the win. […]
Maryland men’s basketball is winners of back-to-back games for the first time since November. The Terps pulled off a shocker over an 18-5 Iowa squad that beat them by 19 points the first time around. They not only beat the Hawkeyes, 77-70, but it didn’t look fluky — they truly looked like the better team […]
When Kentucky Basketball stormed back from down 18 points against LSU back on January 14th, there were feelings of excitement and relief. Excitement for Malachi Moreno swishing a buzzer-beater, off a great full-court pass from Collin Chandler, for the win, but also relief that the Wildcats won after being down 18 points against an LSU […]

Win or loss, Mike Vrabel made it his mission every week during the 2025 season to personally greet his players as they returned to the locker room. Super Bowl LX was no exception, but it needed the NFL Coach of the Year to dig deep after his New England Patriots were beaten 29-13 by the […]
When you think about Kentucky basketball, what is your first thought? Your first memory? I bet it’s with someone else, and that is what makes this place so special. Yes, the wins are huge, but it is the shared connections and memories that make this a family. Few communities in sports can rally like BBN. […]

The Deacs are finally off the schneid. After losing their last 5 games and going nearly an entire month without a win, Wake Forest got back in the win column tonight after taking care of a pretty bad Georgia Tech team 83-67. The game ended pretty late, so this recap is going to be pretty […]
Let’s just be honest. Pitt gave Duke more trouble than expected in their matchup on Tuesday night. The Duke Basketball Roundup dives into what was a sluggish, but ultimately successful outing for a Duke team missing Big Pat, its main man in the middle. Jason and Donald start out talking about the guards who led […]
The Cincinnati Bearcats built a 28-point lead in the first half, made 16 3-point buckets, and destroyed the K-State Wildcats 91-62 Wednesday evening in Bramlage Coliseum. This one does not merit much description. The score is enough. Nevertheless, a few unembellished facts: K-State lost by 29. At home. To a team that came in 12-12. […]
If you had told me that the Virginia Tech Hokies would’ve gone on the road, at No. 20 Clemson, defeat the Tigers by double digits when Amani Hansberry and Neoklis Avdalas scored a combined 15 points, I would’ve thought you were crazy. That’s precisely what happened on Wednesday night, when the Hokies shocked the Tigers […]
The heavens opened up at College Station and down poured Aggie three-pointers. For the first twenty minutes. Then, Trent Pierce turned on the gas and pushed the Mizzou Tigers to a stellar win on the road. Normally when a team is shooting nearly 70 percent from beyond the perimeter in the first half, it’s a […]
