The Northwestern Wildcats will have a very special Senior Night when the #8 Purdue Boilermakers come to town in midweek. Nick Martinelli, last season’s Big Ten scoring champion, who leads the league in points per game again this term, will play his final home game. The Glenview, Illinois native, so i.e. the local kid, will […] The post Nick Martinelli Deserves a Huge Send-off vs Purdue Boilermakers on Senior Night appeared first on The Sports Bank .
FIRST HALF ANALYSIS: UCLA came out on fire to start this one, while Nebraska couldn’t hit water if it fell out of a boat in the middle of the ocean. The Bruins took an immediate double-digit lead, as they hit 6 of their first 8 field goal attempts. The Huskers would commit 3 turnovers in […]
In the modern era, with NIL and instant transfers, it’s pretty easy for a coach to win in Year 1. Well, at the top of the sport, that is. When you get down to lower levels, what you find is that a) you don’t have the NIL resources that bigger schools have, and b) players […]
This Duke Basketball season has been immensely satisfying for Blue Devil fans, and that’s on both the men’s and women’s side. Both teams won regular season ACC Championships and on Tuesday, women’s coach Kara Lawson was named ACC Coach of the Year. It’s richly deserved. You’ll remember that when Duke played West Virginia on November […]
Nevada has looked like two different teams this year between its home and road games. At home, the Wolf Pack are 14-2 and consistently look like an energized team.

Pierre was fourth overall in the voting, while Brooks was right behind her in fifth. Pierre is averaging 16.5 points and 11.9 rebounds per game […]
The Virginia Tech Hokies entered Tuesday night’s game against the Boston College Eagles in must-win mode. Currently one of the first four teams out of the NCAA Tournament, according to various bracketologists, the Hokies could not afford to lose a home game against a 10-19 BC squad. Fortunately for Virginia Tech, the message was received, […]
Kentucky Basketball kicked off tonight’s game in College Station right where they left off against Vanderbilt on Saturday. The offense was clicking, and the defense looked locked in once again. However, after a 12-point lead was built, the Cats imploded, as they dropped a very winnable game to the Aggies. How bad was it? Well, […]
In its final home game of the regular season, Louisville got a much-needed victory over Syracuse, handling the Orange with relative ease, 77-62.

With the win, the Illini move closer to securing a top four finish in the […]
From up 12 in the first half to down 21 in the second half. That’s what a 27-3 run to end the first half will do. That’s how Tuesday night went for the Kentucky Wildcats. They went from nearly being in complete control of the game to getting blown out. It’s inexcusable. Texas A&M made […]
The Deacs had a shot at this one. Despite being on the road against the #13 team in the country, Wake never let this one get away and had their chances down the stretch to tie the game. It was a valiant effort, but, in the end, the Deacs just never could get a stop […]

The ACC COY is going to be Duke’s Jon Scheyer or Miami’s Jai Lucas. Virginia’s Ryan Odon is certainly in that mix as well. North Carolina’s Hubert Davis won’t be winning that award, but his coaching since mid-February should be recognized. On February 10, UNC star freshman Caleb Wilson fractured his left hand against Miami. … Continue reading »

Bye bye, Miss SEC Tournament Double Bye. The Oklahoma Sooners obtained revenge for an overtime loss earlier in January with a crushing win against the Mizzou Tigers, 80-64.
