Here are some really interesting videos that get into Dan Dakich’s relationship with Bob Knight, both as a player and and as an assistant coach. The first two appear to be from the same Dan Patrick interview and in that video, Dakich is very unhappy with his former coach. Basically he calls him out as […]

The New England Patriots face the Seattle Seahawks in a shock Super Bowl matchup as Mike Vrabel’s revived dynasty meets Seattle’s elite defense, with Bad Bunny’s historic halftime show adding political and cultural intrigue.
Yeah, it’s Super Bowl Sunday. So? That doesn’t mean that we’re going without college basketball for the day. There are 20 games on national television, with women’s basketball carrying the lion’s share with 13 contests. That includes YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles visiting Creighton in a game that’s on FS1 at Noon Central today. Other than […]
A day after Arizona softball upset Oklahoma in the series opener, the Sooners returned the favor with a resounding beatdown Saturday. Arizona let OU get 21 runs across the plate in a game that was all but over after the first inning of play. Arizona coach Caitlin Lowe wasn’t in a bad mood postgame, however, […]
Fresno State has always been known as one of those gritty conference opponents, regardless of if the Bulldogs are atop the standings or not. After a one-point win over Fresno State a month ago, it was yet another close battle but yet another win, this time a 69-59 final. It wasn’t a beautiful shooting night […]
The improbable comeback stories for Mark Pope and this Kentucky Basketball team are becoming absurd. Saturday night was just another example of lightning striking for this roster again as they took down the Tennessee Volunteers 74-71. In fact, it was about the best example imaginable in terms of historical victories at Rupp Arena. Corey Price […]
The Virginia Tech Hokies had the opportunity to add an impressive win on their resume Saturday, facing the red-hot N.C. State Wolfpack in Raleigh. Unfortunately, a slow start would prove too much to overcome for Tech, as State won 82-73. The Hokies were terrible in the first half, shooting just under 27% from the field, […]
Captain Clutch. That’s it. That’s the lede. With 27.4 seconds remaining, Collin Chandler hit an ear-shattering 3-pointer to give the Kentucky Wildcats a 71-69 lead. Three free throws later, and the Wildcats had an improbable 74-71 win over the Tennessee Volunteers. The Wildcats were down 14 at halftime, 47-33. Then, their defense clamped down in […]
Kentucky Basketball hoped to celebrate the return of the denim jerseys with a win, and they delivered in dramatic fashion, defeating the Tennessee Volunteers by a final score of 74-71 after trailing 47-33 at halftime. In their first time wearing the iconic denim uniforms since the 1995–96 championship season, and with members of the “Untouchables” […]
You may want to re-read the last paragraph of Lucas’ game preview for this game because that’s what the Spartans did tonight. After a few days of internal debate, Tom Izzo decided to start Jeremy Fears after the Michigan State floor general’s style of play was questioned in the last two games. This probably didn’t […]
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Close, but no cigar. For the third weekend in a row, Illinois had the opportunity to knock off a top ten-ranked Big Ten foe on the road. No. 5 Illinois pushed No. 10 Michigan State to overtime on Saturday night at the Breslin Center in East Lansing, but the Spartans came […]
From what felt like a bone-crushiWhat once felt like a bone-crushing loss turned into a remarkable comeback for the TCU Horned Frogs. After falling victim to two come-from-behind losses earlier in conference play, the Frogs finally flipped the script, rallying from an 18-point deficit to defeat the Kansas State Wildcats 84–82. On the outside of […]
It was the first time Michigan and Michigan State met as the nation’s top two teams, and, much like their previous matchups, they split the weekend series. The Spartans came out strong on both nights, but the Wolverines mounted a comeback in game one. Flyers prospects Shane Vansaghi and Porter Martone each found the back of the net during the series. Game 1: Michigan State 3, Michigan 4 (OT) After a tightly contested opening stretch with both teams feeling each other out, Charlie Str...
Another successful business trip. After narrowly dispatching Stanford just days prior, Clemson took on its second West Coast opponent of the week and dismantled the California Bears by a score of 77-55. After a sloppy opening 5 minutes which saw shot clock violations from both teams and multiple turnovers, the Tigers flipped a switch and […]
WASHINGTON — In the world of college athletics, it’s fairly rare to see spectators who aren’t fans of the home or away team. College sports are identity-driven; the draw is a tangible connection with the school one grew up around or got their degree from. But flashes of Maryland red appeared throughout the crowd at […]
Certain games and matchups always deliver. Duke and UNC is the best college basketball rivalry going… period. Another classic was just added to the rivalry when Seth Trimble hit a 3 with .4 seconds left to lift UNC to a 71-68 win over Duke. It was a statement win by UNC, who’ve been trending up … Continue reading »
Update – a controversy has arisen after UNC’s court storming following the win over Duke Saturday night. Jon Scheyer says staff members were punched in the face. Another Duke-UNC classic in the books with the Tar Heels winning on a last-second three by Seth Trimble, 71-68. The Blue Devils started out brilliantly, despite UNC nearly […]
After a dog-faced ugly loss to University of Portland earlier in the week, the question on every fans mind was how would the Zags (and Mark Few) respond. Would they rally? Play out of their absolute minds? Leave with a convincing win? Or would the loss shell-shock them so thoroughly that they’d cough up the […]
After a dog-faced ugly loss to the Portland Pilots earlier in the week, the question on every fan’s mind was how the Zags (and coach Mark Few) would respond. Would they rally? Play out of their absolute minds? Leave with a convincing win? Or would the loss shell-shock them so thoroughly that they’d cough up […]
UNC looked dead in the water for much of Saturday night’s game against Duke. They started slow and seemingly couldn’t find their way over the hump by getting enough stops on the defensive end once their shots started to fall. The Tar Heels led for just 0.4 seconds of the game, but what a second […]
Washington State hung with the first-place team in the WCC, the Santa Clara Broncos, but eventually lost a barnburner, 96-92. The Cougs fell to 11-15 overall and 6-7 in the WCC, and the dream of the fourth seed in the WCC Tournament now seems out of reach. After a gut-wrenching loss to the Beavers on […]
There was plenty of buzz during the pregame regarding expectations before the matchup between the two best teams in the Big East. UConn faithful shared their belief that the performance of Tarris Reed and Silas Demary, a transfer from Georgia, was key to their ability to defeat St. John’s. They also pointed out with some […]
In addition to being off to the best start in school history, Arizona’s 23-0 record is also the best for a Big 12 school. Kansas won its first 22 games in 1996-97, the same season the Wildcats beat them in the Sweet 16 on their way to a national title. Yet it was the 2001 […]
