Study Hall: Mizzou 73, Kentucky 68

A week ago this team was dead. At least according to many. I wasn’t quite ready to shovel dirt on their grave, but my frustrations were incredibly high. I knew the SEC would offer them some level of reprieve, the league is still quality from top to bottom, but the murderer’s row throughout the league […]

It is getting to where there have to be more regulations or guidelines for it to survive. College sports are changing at breakneck speed, and not everyone believes it’s for the better. As the transfer portal and NIL […]

NC State lets one slip away in Clemson, loses 75-65

I think it’s the quarter breaks in women’s basketball that create the serious mental whiplash I feel watching teams completely flip from playing well to playing poorly, not so much that it’s more pronounced in women’s basketball than men’s. (Though maybe it is.) There was a strong case of that whiplash last night going from […]

Iowans never wanted an East Coast elitist who refused to play defense. I was undoubtedly the preeminent McCaffery detractor. I wanted a coach I could call “my guy,” which are […]
