Indiana men’s basketball will look to bounce back after a devastating home loss to Northwestern that severely damaged the Hoosiers’ NCAA Tournament hopes. Coming to town is a Michigan State team fresh off an impressive win at Mackey Arena, where Indiana was blown out by nearly 30 points last week. If there is a path […]
It was a disappointing night at State Farm Center on Friday as Illinois couldn’t top No. 3 Michigan. The Wolverines left the arena with an outright Big Ten title. Here’s the best photos from a big day from TCR photographer Jack Jungmann.
There are two versions of what I’d call the traditional path to becoming a fan of a college team: you got a degree from the school, or one or both of your parents did. My mom got her bachelor’s at Meredith (the women’s college in Raleigh) and her master’s at Carolina, and those two years […]
Syracuse Orange women’s basketball dropped its second game in a row for the first time all season on Thursday, following up a loss at N.C. State with a 72-62 loss to Notre Dame in South Bend. The loss drops Syracuse to 21-7 and 11-6 in the ACC, in a five-way tie for 5th with one […]
Alabama improved to 8-2 on the season with a 12-2 victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes on Friday in the Frisco Classic in Frisco Texas. The Tide will play 18th ranked Oregon State on Saturday and Houston on Sunday to wrap up the Classic. Bama used a strong start from junior right hander Tyler Fay and […]
There is quite a bit to talk about when looking back on No. 14 Maryland’s (23-6, 11-6 Big Ten) last two games, even though they were expected blowout wins over teams near the bottom of the Big Ten. The Terps defeated Purdue 99-66 last Sunday and Northwestern 79-57 on Wednesday. Each member of the rotation […]
The appointed hour is finally here. After 15 years of service to telling the story of the Mid-American Conference, the book will finally close on Hustle Belt. Our editor-in-chief found out via phone call right before Super Bowl weekend, as the staff was drafting up articles about MAC-affiliated players in the Big Game and putting […]
It’s a little odd that we are in NFL Draft season, and there has been very little attention paid to the Notre Dame tight end in this year’s group. Notre Dame’s reputation for being TEU has been well earned, and generally an Irish tight end in the draft gets a little more press. Usually… but […]
In Saturday’s ACC Action, NC State visits Notre Dame, Florida State heads up to Atlanta to take on Georgia Tech, Louisville cruises over to Clemson, BC heads down to Miami, Pitt drops in on Cal on the West Coast swing, Syracuse checks in with Wake Forest, SMU gets Stanford, and Virginia Tech visits UNC. Here’s […]
Good morning, BBN! It’s revenge time for the Kentucky Wildcats as they take on the Vanderbilt Commodores at 2:00 PM EST. at Rupp Arena. You can watch the game on ESPN. Kentucky scraped by this past Tuesday against a below-average South Carolina team. Otega Oweh probably had his worst SEC performance so far, but luckily, […]
Sorry, I started collecting news, and then I couldn't shut myself up about the first thing.
Hey, horray we’re here talking about Mississippi State again! If you want my previously stated opinion on the “rivalry” with Mississippi State, it’s here. The only reason there is a rivalry is because they seem to play each other a lot. But I doubt Mizzou fans, or MSU fans, think about the other ever whenever […]
This has been a season of hope for NC State. Will Wade’s team hasn’t been perfect, but it has certainly had its moments, notably an absolute destruction of UNC (albeit without Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar, but still, good for the Wolfpack soul). State has wandered in the desert often since the departure of Jim […]
Barcelona Atletic’s miserable run of injuries has continued, with Toni Fernandez the latest player to be ruled out for Juliano Belletti’s side. The teenager has sustained an ankle injury and will miss the next month. “Barça Atlètic player Toni Fernandez has a syndesmosis injury to his left ankle, which occurred during Wednesday’s match in Castelló. […]
CHAMPAIGN — Kylan Boswell sat at the podium while emerging from a flashbang. As the mist subsided, the irritation in his eyes grew. It was like he had seen a ghost. “I feel like I let us down tonight. I can’t afford this type of stuff for the team,” Boswell said after No. 10 Illinois’ […]
A return to Tuscaloosa after a dominant effort in Tallahassee is on tap for the Tide. It should be smooth sailing, but don’t get complacent and take the foot off the gas. TUESDAY: ALABAMA 8, UAB 0 (5 Inn.) Alabama had their first midweek cupcake game of the season versus a lousy UAB team (7-8) […]
Tickets started at $300, in the secondary market for the #3 Michigan Wolverines 84-70 blowout of #10 Illinois, in their house tonight. No doubt lots and lots of people were paying up to $600, and maybe even $700 to be here tonight, for a game that was, simply put, much more lopsided than the final […] The post #3 Michigan 84, #10 Illinois 70: Sights, Sounds, Notes, Quotes, Nuggets, Tidbits appeared first on The Sports Bank .
Way back in August, we said SMU football coach Rhett Lashlee was the ACC’s best, most outspoken coach. He’s at it again in the best way possible in the offseason. For the ACC, no matter what happens on the field, the league suffers perception issues. Coaches and ACC media have to promote all the time. … Continue reading »
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — With all the hope in the world, Illini fans were let down Friday night. Despite a sold out State Farm Center crowd and a sense of hunger to take home a victory, No. 10 Illinois couldn’t hold off the most athletic team in the nation, falling 84-70 to No. 3 Michigan. The […]

The Nittany Lions earned the extra point in the shootout to secure no worse than third place in the Big Ten. First Period Notre Dame controlled […]
Notre Dame pitcher, Jack Radel, was dominant on the mound for the Irish in their first ever meeting against Alabama A&M. The right-hander tossed 6 innings of shutout ball while striking out 10, walking none, and only giving up 2 hits. His effort, along with a explosion at the plate for Irish hitters, gave Notre […]
Ahead of their Saturday showdown at Rupp Arena, the Kentucky Wildcats and Vanderbilt Commodores have unveiled their SEC Injury Report. For Kentucky, you will be absolutely stunned and shocked to hear that Jayden Quaintance, Jaland Lowe, and Kam Williams all remain out.
