Coming off a premature Second Round exit in the NCAA Tournament that left a Big East double championship season on a bitter note, the Red Storm are looking to break through that ceiling and go even further in 2026. Hall of […]

Well, here we are. A new season is upon us when Illinois takes on Jackson State on Monday night at State Farm Center. And according to college basketball insider Jon Rothstein — our favorite guy, of course — Illinois will be without at least two players for the game. Rothstein reported Saturday that Mihailo Petrovic […]

Before last season, Mizzou needed to erase the dread from the 2023-24 season. The mission was mostly accomplished. The Tigers got back to the NCAA Tournament, but they lost a frustrating game to Drake. Entering this season, the Big Dance appears to be a reasonable expectation. Whether Mizzou gets there or not depends on a […]

Maryland men’s basketball’s 2025-26 campaign kicks off Monday in Baltimore against Coppin State. The first year of the Buzz Williams era brings endless questions for what the Terps will look like. The Crab Five — and every other scholarshipped player on last season’s team — is gone. In steps a roster made up of 10 […]

I guess I’m turning this into an annual tradition. Bill C. used to do a ‘Count the Ifs’ post before each football season, and once Nate came on board he took it over and has kept the tradition going with aplomb. Last year, I wanted to try the same for basketball. Missouri was coming off […]

The transfer portal in women’s college basketball is a powerful thing. Just one or two key transfers can change the entire competitive landscape of any conference, and such transfers are becoming increasingly common with the introduction of Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) rules. If a school wants to be in the running for a top […]

Even if the on-court product will look vastly different than it did last season, Maryland men’s basketball is back. The Terps travel to Baltimore for a Monday night matchup with Coppin State, as part of the Naismith Hall of Fame Series, to open their year. Much has been made of how head coach Buzz Williams’ […]

The Missouri Tigers welcomed in conference opponent Vanderbilt (women) and D2 McKendree (men/women) to the gorgeous Mizzou Aquatic Center — I love that place and have such fond memories of it from my coaching days — on November 1, and came away with a very convincing sweep in the double dual, with the men beating […]

The 2024-25 Virginia Tech Hokies went into last season with zero expectations. When transfer guard Hysier Miller was released from the team just before the season even began, it left the Hokies thin in the backcourt, specifically, at point guard. The season went as expected. The Hokies went 13-19 and were 8-12 in ACC play. […]

Liverpool entered this match in sore need of a win. 4 straight Premier League losses will create that air of desperation. And given the result mid-week, Arne Slot and the rest of the squad certainly felt waves of pressure. Thankfully, Liverpool were able to earn the W with the kind of play that should inspire […]

After several weeks of uproar, it felt as if a dark cloud of apathy had been cast over the Kentucky football program. A trip to 4-4 Auburn wasn’t exactly a recipe to ignite a fire under the Big Blue Nation. But playing an SEC game under the lights is always enough to reel us back […]

Hello, Colorado Buffaloes fans. Life is hard right now. The Buffs are 3-5, with one conference win, and a moribund offense. PROFOUNDLY moribund. You know it’s bad because I’m using big words. After getting every single clock incredibly cleaned by the Utah Utes last week, Coach Prime and the Buffs will try to reset against […]

However we want to talk about the two televised exhibition games this UNC team has played already, it’s a novel feeling to be writing about a season opener when we’ve already seen the team. I’m not used to college sports having a preseason. That’s not a value judgment or anything, just an observation. With fans […]

Indiana’s latest men’s basketball commit, 4-star wing Vaughn Karvala, looks like the kind of prospect that will thrive under the head coach Darian DeVries. At 6’6” 180 lb., Karvala can do a little bit of everything on the court. A top-50 who can handle the ball, protect the rim, and shoot from 3-point range at […]
