The Sad State of UNC Athletics Leadership

Dread it. Run from it. Change arrives all the same. College sports changed forever with Ed O’Bannon vs the NCAA in 2015, which broke the dam on NCAA ownership of player NIL rights. That started a line of dominoes through NCAA vs Alston (2021), which eliminated all barriers on NIL, to House vs the NCAA […]

Comments from the Other Side - Suns 2/24/25

 The Celtics didn't play all that well for much of the game but they upped their defense in the second half and pulled it out.  It never ceases to amaze me how quickly fans turn against their own team and players.  Another fan base that doesn't like their coach.  Once again,  I love how many Celtics fans there are in arenas on the road.   The comment about it being all Celtics free throws when they had only taken 8 at the time.  Sometimes I think fans do...

Three takeaways from Northwestern’s 72-68 upset win over Indiana

It started off with Northwestern falling behind by 11 just over 10 minutes into the game. It started off with a horrific defensive effort and a stagnant offense.

ACC Men’s Basketball Power Rankings: Week 9

The ACC continues its season of improvement a year after getting an all time low four bids into the NCAA tournament. Better conference teams mean more opportunities for quality wins (just ask the SEC last year, who got a record 14 teams in including a subpar Oklahoma team). So as teams continue to jockey for […]

Against Indiana, Northwestern finally found its clutch late-game offense

With 14 seconds to go at Assembly Hall, Jake West stepped into the biggest moment of his young career.

Would you trade the last five years of Carolina Basketball for Duke’s?

Way back when, Dean Smith seemed to have plateaued as a coach, while an ascendent Mike Kryzewski took Duke to five straight Final Fours, three title games, and two national titles. “Dean must go!“ talk dominated UNC fan discussions, with the occasional flying object in support of arguments totally based in sound logic. In other […]
