It was a surprising beatdown by the Gonzaga Bulldogs (17-7, 9-2 WCC) in the second round of the rivalry matchup with the Oregon State Beavers (17-7, 9-2 WCC) in Spokane, Washington, 67-37, this past Thursday evening. A much different story from the 92-87 overtime loss in Corvallis, Oregon, just two weeks ago. Senior guard Ines […]

Round two. If round one between Kentucky and Tennessee, three weeks ago, was any indication, the second meeting between these two teams Saturday night in Rupp Arena is going to be another barn-burner. On a night where the 1996 National Championship team will be honored, and Kentucky rocks the denim uniforms, there is going to […]

What do you want out of your third basemen? Do you want someone who swings a big stick with some iffy defense? Or do you want a golden glove with a bat that—to put it mildly—struggles? Jay Johnson’s won two national titles on either side of that spectrum. In 2023 Johnson Tanked his way to […]

At 22-0, Arizona is off to the best start in school history. The Wildcats are one of two remaining unbeaten teams in men’s college basketball, along with Miami of Ohio. But there hasn’t been a team run the table for an entire season since Indiana in 1975-76, so it stands to reason that the UA […]

Have you seen that Nike commercial with the late Kobe Bryant and Kanye West? If you haven’t, no worries. That basketball commercial was a play on Bryant’s mamba mentality where he sought more from Kanye. “But are you a different animal and the same beast?,” Bryant asks. That “more successful and more records” uttered in […]

Entering the 2025-26 season, many viewed Donald Hand Jr as the focal point for the Boston College Men’s Basketball team. It’s largely justified, as Hand Jr broke out last season by upping his points per game totals by 10 (5.0 to 15.7) and served as the premier offensive threat for the Eagles last season. It’s […]

Indiana men’s basketball splitting its trip to Los Angeles was helpful for its NCAA Tournament case. That’s what Joe Lunardi seems to think, at least. The Hoosiers moved up from a 10-seed to a 9-seed in Lunardi’s latest projection over on ESPN. As of Friday he has Indiana heading to San Diego in the West […]
