The Bad Mid-range Blues Why Rutgers still shoots so many midrange shots is beyond explanation. No, I’m not talking about faking a three, losing your defender, and stepping in for a wide-open two-point jumper. It’s the ones Rutgers shoots when there’s no reason to shoot them, settling for low-percentage twos instead of attacking the rim […]

Arizona began November in thrilling fashion, beating defending NCAA champion Florida in Las Vegas to open the 2025-26 season. Since then it has also beaten UCLA in Los Angeles and won at UConn.

It wasn’t pretty, but the Deacs moved to 6-2 after taking down the Northeastern Huskies by a score of 86-73. The first half was definitely not the Wake Forest team we have come to expect this season. That is sort of expected since it is the day after Thanksgiving, but the Deacs just seemed kind […]
Jake Diebler and his staff have been very firm over the last year — they want to schedule good teams at home, even if that means they need to go play at that team’s house, too. The Buckeyes thought they had a pretty strong home-and-home lined up with Pitt last year, but so far this […]

Iowa State’s defense showed up yet again last weekend making Jalon Daniels pay for making us look silly last year. The defense forced KU to try and win through the air while applying pressure to keep Daniels uncomfortable. This week will be a rinse and repeat for them. Iowa State I’m going to go ahead […]
