The Weekend Mauling: 12/27/25

It’s a holiday weekend. No KU games, no CFP, nothing interesting in the sports world other than some NFL games. It’s my son’s birthday today and I’ll be posting a belated, lazy man’s mauling. I’m guessing the site won’t be a real active place this weekend anyway. Feel free to use this as an open […]

2026 NBA Mock Draft: Dybantsa Over Peterson? Bulls (Almost) Out of the Lottery!

There are 363 days until next Christmas, but only 22 weeks and 3 days until a gift basketball fans really love arrives — the 2026 NBA Draft. However, it’s always NBA Mock Draft season. And, with conference play set to tip off in college basketball, now is a great time to take a closer look at the players who have already been shining and building real draft buzz. The top three prospects — AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Cam Boozer — feel basically locked in, but picks 4 through 30 are w...

UNC Basketball Off to a Great Defensive Start

Last year’s Tar Heel men’s basketball team was small. How small? My son’s 2A high school started a larger line-up at every position. No, they weren’t nearly as skilled — although the big man does play professionally over in Europe now in one of the lower-level leagues. Reportedly, UNC’s NIL budget for this team grew […]

For much of his career, Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown has faced underappreciation while sharing the floor with co-star Jayson Tatum. This season, however, that isn’t the case.

Luka Garza never felt far from return to Celtics rotation

Luka Garza recently tapped into an old routine he leaned on at the University of Iowa to persist through a six-game stretch of bad games in his sophomore year. He found himself riding highs-and-lows then, playing some of his best basketball then crashing into his worst. He began journaling through the following offseasons — and […]

Maryland men’s basketball vs. Old Dominion preview

Maryland men’s basketball is in a slump.  The Terps sit at 6-6, a step below what fans hoped from head coach Buzz Williams’ first season. They need a victory against Old Dominion, their next opponent, to ensure they enter 2026 with a winning record. Undeniably, though, Maryland’s schedule has played a role in the struggle. […]

TJ Robinson shines despite back-to-back knee injuries

Jimmy Salmon glanced up at the scoreboard. TJ Robinson pierced his eyes right at Jimmy Salmon. Salmon knew what that look meant. He’d known Robinson since birth, helping guide him to being one of the best players in New Jersey’s 2024 high school class. But during the 2023-24 high school basketball season, Immaculate Conception played […]
