Does the period between Christmas and New Year’s Eve really exist? What day is it? Do I have work today? Is Penn State basketball really playing at 1 p.m. right now? Well, it seemed like the Nittany Lions didn’t know they had a game, either. Penn State came out to such a sleepy and sloppy […]

There are plenty of Big Ten teams that are powers on the court, and the names I could list would probably bore you: Michigan, Purdue, Michigan State, Illinois… yawn. All of these teams are doing well so far this year, were expected to do well this year, and likely will continue to do well this […]

Darius Johnson was a UCF Knights legend and fan favorite during his four-year tenure from 2021 to 2025. Johnson averaged nearly 13 points, 4 assists, and 2 steals per game as a Knight. Johnson made the 2022 AAC All-Freshman Team, but his 2024-25 season as a senior would be his best at UCF. Johnson averaged […]

Although Alex Bregman is one of the most highly sought-after free agents this winter, his market has been fairly narrow and well-defined for a while now. And yet, lately, the specifics have begun to evolve. A few weeks ago, Bregman’s market was pretty unanimously boiled down to three teams: (1) The Cubs, who made him an offer last offseason, (2) the Tigers, who made him an offer last offseason, and (3) the incumbent Red Sox, who signed him last offseason. Today, that looks a little differ...

We will find out a lot about the Huskers today. They’ve passed all their tests so far with flying colors, but USC is a different animal – even without JuJu Watkins. The Huskers have scored 80 or more points in every game this season, but USC has a defense that will likely break that streak. […]

Alright folks, let’s make this one quick. The North Carolina Central Eagles are bad bad. They’re 351st in Kenpom, out of 365 teams in division 1 basketball. This game was theoretically decided when it was scheduled, so anything other than a demolition by the hands of the Nittany Lions should be a cause for concern […]
