UNC is just moments away from playing their first ACC true road game of the season against SMU. This is the first time that these two teams have faced off in conference play in the state of Texas, which is something that is still an adjustment for my ACC purest brain to compute.

Today… does not represent an opportunity to add to that total. Those will come later in SEC play, but Vanderbilt’s SEC opener is at South Carolina, who’s […]

It is time to revive an annual tradition, one that goes back many generations, and decide on nicknames for our Michigan State Spartans Basketball Team.

A double reversal of a four point play by Cal to tie up the game against Notre Dame with a few seconds left in the game, had Micah Shrewsberry erupting like a volcano once the game was finally over. The official result will read; Cal 72, Notre Dame 71 — but perhaps a referee count […]

Any scouting report Missouri assembled ahead of Braggin’ Rights could have made a reasonable tradeoff: quarantine the lane and force Illinois to scratch out a living from long range. Coming in, the Illini’s shooting clip off the catch lagged behind the national average, and Brad Underwood’s squad had only shot better than 35 percent twice […]

Looking at Carolina’s ACC schedule, I’m not sure there’s anything that would have better fit the blah vibes that always hang over the early days of January than a road trip to SMU. That isn’t meant to be dismissive of the matchup. As our own Akil Guruparan broke down yesterday, SMU is a solid team […]

Sometimes being wrong isn’t the worst thing in the world. Take Louisville at Stanford. While we have a healthy respect for Kyle Smith though. He’s clearly a very sharp guy and he’s likely to get as much as possible out of his analytics approach. Still, we didn’t think Stanford had much of a chance here. […]
