It’s no secret that St. John’s had a disappointing start they’d like to put behind them. Entering the season as the fifth-ranked team in the country, they went 0-3 against ranked opponents and spiraled out of the AP top 25 poll. Despite missed opportunities to strengthen their resume, the Johnnies are still in a good […]

The Jai Lucas era for Miami Hurricanes basketball is 13 games in. After non-conference play, UM has compiled a record of 11-2. With a completely new roster, the 2025-26 Canes have already surpassed the win total from the disastrous 2024-25 season, in which Miami went 7-24. A group, mostly comprised of former Florida high school […]

I don’t know if any of y’all actually celebrate Boxing Day but I suppose if you watch the English Premier League, this is a big day (even though there’s only one game on Boxing Day this year). Anyways, I hope everybody is continuing to take it easy out there. Here’s a random clip:

Healthy and rested after a few nights off, the Celtics and Pacers meet again. Boston traveled to Indiana for the second matchup this week with an opportunity to extend their winning streak to four straight. Monday’s 103-95 victory was a tale of two halves with the Celtics outscored 61-43 in the first half, then responding […]

For most Kentucky fans, the words “Gardner-Webb” are a trigger warning. It brings back the memory of November 2007, when the Runnin’ Bulldogs walked into Rupp Arena and handed Billy Gillispie an 84-68 loss that essentially doomed his tenure before it started. It was an embarrassment that the fanbase has been trying to scrub from […]

Non-conference play is officially over in the MAAC. All 13 teams have finished their non-league slates, in addition to the two early December conference games they played. So where does the conference stand? It’s time for a reset of expectations, understanding, and everything else heading into the final 18 games of the season. Marist The […]

After a less-than-fruitful showing in non-conference play, each of the 12 Mountain West men’s basketball programs opened up conference play each of the last two weeks. Like any year, this conference has been fairly unpredictable on a game-by-game basis. That was the case in Utah State’s blowout win against Colorado State to begin MW action. […]

Historically, the University of Miami has been irrelevant in the college basketball landscape. The dominant football powerhouse has been a perennial underachiever on the hardwood. However, signs are pointing up, and skies appear to be brightening. New head coach Jai Lucas has brought in the winning pedigree he sustained as an assistant at Duke. Since […]

Ohio State (9-3) wrapped up 2025 with an 89-63 win over Grambling State on Tuesday afternoon, but a trend that has become rather concerning over the last several games continued against the Tigers. The Buckeyes were the fourth-best three-point shooting team in the Big Ten last season, hitting them at a 36.8% clip. During Big […]

Recent reports indicate that FanDuel Sports Network, one of the biggest regional sports networks remaining in the traditional media market, is at serious risk of bankruptcy. Without getting too deep into the weeds of corporate restructuring and renaming practices, FanDuel was formerly known as Bally Sports Network before their parent company (Diamond Sports Group, now […]

College sports teams love to show off their athletes in all sorts of poses, many unrelated to the sport they play. The post No. 12 of 2025: College jock photo shoots are increasingly cheesy, fun and a touch campy appeared first on Outsports .

Today, the Kansas City Current announced that they have signed University of Alabama forward and two-time All-American Gianna Paul. The deal is for three years, through 2028, with a club option for 2029. “Since I was a little girl, I had always dreamed about playing professional soccer,” said Paul. “To say that that is my current […]

In the most recent post, I complained about Williams and Arceneaux, enough said. Paul (47 points!) McNeil is getting the local and national media treatment right now. Let’s look at the rest of the key players. Caveat: This is a report card on 13 games, 6 against Q3 / Q4 opponents, compared to full seasons. […]

It may sound shocking to some, but former UCF Knights player Tari Phillips is the only player in the school’s history who ever played in the WNBA*. Phillips only played one season at UCF in 1990-91 after playing her first three seasons with the Georgia Bulldogs, but she was a stud in her one season […]

The Wildcats only played one game this week, a close loss at Butler. It was yet another game that followed a similar script, although offense was the problem in this one sans Martinelli, rather than the defensive issues that have plagued the ‘Cats all year. But like Virginia, Oklahoma State and Ohio State before, the […]

A lot has changed since the last time I wrote one of these. The Chicago Bulls haven’t lost a game, and they suddenly look like a team climbing instead of sliding backward. Meanwhile, the NBA is floating ideas to discourage tanking, which only gives the Bulls more reason to keep pushing for wins. For us, that means we need to rethink our trade targets, not just guys projected late in the lottery , but maybe players outside of it altogether. On the Bull’s Eye: College Hoops the Chicago Bu...

For a program that earned an at-large bid to March Madness in 2022 with one of the lowest NET rankings ever to do so, Rutgers men’s basketball now finds itself in what feels like the basement of Big Ten hoops. From pushing Houston in the second round to the First Four to getting snubbed and […]

Look, let’s face it: while Duke made the Final Four last spring, the ACC regular season, and most of the tournament too, sucked. The conference was just basically helpless. Almost everyone sucked. Only Clemson was a real, consistent threat. It’s going to be very different this year. UNC is back on track, Louisville is looking […]

A good story that has woven throughout 2025 is the fact that the Smith Center is aging and that officials are in the process of replacing it. Throughout the year, and undercurrent sweeping through that story was that while they were officially considering keeping the original building and renovating, the momentum seemed to be building […]

The freshman is already a star. We all heard the pre-season talk about Keaton Wagler. And, if you have followed the Illini basketball team the past 5-10 years, you know head coach Brad Underwood loves to hype his players — especially newcomers. And while it’s often nice to hear how certain players look in practice, […]

You’d have a hard time beating this from Giannis Antetokounmpo, aka the Greek Freak. Check out what he said in 2023 about if he had gone to college: “I’m 6’11” and I can handle the ball, pass and get in the paint. You see players like that [at Duke]: Zion Williamson, Jabari Parker, Jayson Tatum, […]

Arizona’s first season in the Big 12 Conference was a great unknown: it had no idea just how tough the league was going to be until the games were played, and after struggling in the leadup to the Big 12 there was no shortage of concern over the Wildcats could handle the increased challenge. Then […]
