Pourover: Mizzou Hoops Count the ‘Ifs’

I guess I’m turning this into an annual tradition. Bill C. used to do a ‘Count the Ifs’ post before each football season, and once Nate came on board he took it over and has kept the tradition going with aplomb. Last year, I wanted to try the same for basketball. Missouri was coming off […]

Double Dual: Mizzou sweeps Vandy, McKendree

The Missouri Tigers welcomed in conference opponent Vanderbilt (women) and D2 McKendree (men/women) to the gorgeous Mizzou Aquatic Center — I love that place and have such fond memories of it from my coaching days — on November 1, and came away with a very convincing sweep in the double dual, with the men beating […]

Virginia Tech basketball: 2025-26 preview

The 2024-25 Virginia Tech Hokies went into last season with zero expectations. When transfer guard Hysier Miller was released from the team just before the season even began, it left the Hokies thin in the backcourt, specifically, at point guard. The season went as expected. The Hokies went 13-19 and were 8-12 in ACC play. […]

Alex Morgan on her McKayla Maroney Halloween Costume (Exclusive)

Digging Deeper Into Liverpool’s 2-0 Victory Over Aston Villa

Liverpool entered this match in sore need of a win. 4 straight Premier League losses will create that air of desperation. And given the result mid-week, Arne Slot and the rest of the squad certainly felt waves of pressure. Thankfully, Liverpool were able to earn the W with the kind of play that should inspire […]

Colorado vs. Arizona – odds, game time and thread

Hello, Colorado Buffaloes fans. Life is hard right now. The Buffs are 3-5, with one conference win, and a moribund offense. PROFOUNDLY moribund. You know it’s bad because I’m using big words. After getting every single clock incredibly cleaned by the Utah Utes last week, Coach Prime and the Buffs will try to reset against […]

Three things to watch in the UNC men’s basketball season opener

However we want to talk about the two televised exhibition games this UNC team has played already, it’s a novel feeling to be writing about a season opener when we’ve already seen the team. I’m not used to college sports having a preseason. That’s not a value judgment or anything, just an observation. With fans […]

The best and worst-case scenarios for the 2025-26 UNC basketball season

We are just a couple of days away from Carolina basketball officially returning, and the buzz around the team is getting louder after two impressive exhibition games.
