When there were 4.9 seconds left in OT and the Illini clung to a 1-point lead, we all knew how it was going to end. Illinois lost 95-94 at UCLA in the Illini’s third overtime loss in just 15 days. Here’s how X reacted to the latest defeat.
Unrivaled is all about 3×3 basketball, but even within those parameters, it’s never just about the sport. Rickea Jackson recently missed Unrivaled play for personal reasons. Her ex-boyfriend was arrested after an alleged domestic violence dispute involving Jackson. Obviously, such a serious situation takes precedence over a game, and Jackson took the time she needed […]
The Wolf Pack came into Saturday’s matchup against the Utah State Aggies on a two-game losing streak, and a bad one at that. With near 20-point losses to San Diego State and San Jose State, giving SJSU its second win in conference play, things were on the decline for Nevada, and coming back home to […]
Creighton’s road upset over fifth-ranked UConn caught the attention of the college basketball world. Although this year hasn’t gone to plan for a preseason top-25 team, that signature victory over the Huskies showed they can still beat the Big East’s best. The Red Storm weren’t letting that happen to them on Saturday afternoon. St. John’s […]
BYU desperately needed a signature win for morale and the resume, and the Cougs delivered Saturday night in a 79-69 home win #6 Iowa State in Provo. The committee released its top 16 seeds earlier in the day, and Iowa State was the fourth #1 seed. AJ Dybantsa was spectacular once again, playing all 40 […]
Gonzaga survived Pacific 71-62 on Saturday night in the Kennel, leaning once again on Graham Ike and a timely bench performance from Davis Fogle. And survived is the key word, here. Ike finished with another 20-point night, continuing a dominant conference stretch, while Fogle poured in 18 points off the bench in 28 minutes, his […]
The Gonzaga Bulldogs survived the Pacific Tigers 71-62 on Saturday night in the Kennel, leaning once again on Graham Ike and a timely bench performance from Davis Fogle. And survived is the keyword here. Ike finished with another 20-point night, continuing a dominant conference stretch, while Fogle poured in 18 points off the bench in […]
The Virginia Tech Hokies needed a strong performance on Saturday against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, after back-to-back losses put them two games under .500 in ACC play. Fortunately for the Hokies, everyone showed up on Saturday, as they dominated the Demon Deacons in an 82-63 victory. Last month, it was Wake Forest who handed […]
The Kentucky Wildcats dropped their third game in a row on the road against the Auburn Tigers by a final score of 75-74. In a slugfest of a game where the Wildcats had a chance to win it late, the officiating got questionable. Early into the matchup, Tigers’ big man Flip Jovic backed Malachi Moreno […]
You never forget your first, especially when it takes this long to get it. Arizona finally broke into the win column on Saturday night, rallying to beat UConn 5-4 at Hi Corbett Field to earn its first victory of 2026 after six losses. “Finally we got one, and hopefully it just snowballs forward,” said catcher […]
Down 66-60 with just over three minutes remaining, things were looking bleak for the Wildcats. Then, just as he has so many times in his two seasons with the Wildcats, Otega Oweh took over. Oweh finished with a game-high and career-high 29 points, but it wasn’t enough. Keshawn Murphy’s put-back jumper with just over a […]
Well, that was brutal to say the least. Kentucky Basketball’s game against the Auburn Tigers was a rollercoaster. It was a back-and-forth affair in the first half, with Kentucky gaining the upper hand late. Kentucky at one point looked like it could run away with it early in the second half, but the Tigers battled […]
The Arizona Wildcats continue to battle both their opponents and themselves. That battle played into a hard-fought 74-60 loss to No. 14 Baylor women’s basketball in Waco, Tex. on Saturday night. “I was really, really happy with that 40 minutes and what they showed and who they were throughout that game,” said Arizona head coach […]
Notre Dame is on the brink of not making the ACC Tournament — that’s how bad the season has been. It got damn disastrous on Saturday with a 73-68 loss to the Pitt Panthers. Shrewsberry needs to be shown the door — this is too much. Late Irish Flurry Falls Short in 68-73 Loss at […]

There wasn’t a single person who didn’t believe that Duke had enough talent to win the National Title. They absolutely do, but the question mark with Duke was if they could consistently beat quality teams in close games. Duke is so good that they can typically just overwhelm teams. When they can’t, though, against NCAA … Continue reading »
Correction – We thought Isaiah Evans’ last basket counted and ESPN initially listed the final score at 70-63. However, it came after the buzzer. We’ve corrected the headline. Duke and Michigan met at the summit Saturday evening and while the game was not always pretty, the efforts on both sides were stunning as Duke pulled […]
Villanova has been the team all year long that has made the necessary adjustments in the second half to win a game. On Saturday night, Kevin Willard and the Wildcats got a taste of their own medicine. No. 5 UConn opened the second half on a 13-2 run and did not look back during a […]
By beating Houston on its home court, something only one other Big 12 school had done in three seasons, Arizona is firmly in control of the race for the conference regular season title. The Wildcats are a game up in the standings with four to go and hold the tiebreaker over the Cougars. “We’ve put […]
The No. 5 UConn Huskies entered a packed Xfinity Mobile Arena on Saturday night and left with a big win, 73-63, to improve to 25-3 and 15-2 in the Big East. The Huskies responded nicely to their home loss to Creighton and snapped the Wildcats’ six-game winning streak that started after their last game against […]
Nate Oats took his surging basketball team on the road to LSU tonight and brought home a 90-83 victory. The game got off to a slow start. Midway through the first half the score showed a 14-13 snoozefest, and that’s exactly what it was. Both offenses woke up a bit from there, however, and Alabama […]
Hey TOC Nation, here are the results of our latest survey questions. In our first question, I asked you to predict how Michigan State would fare in their final five games. Exactly half predicted a 3-2 record down the stretch. I would presume then that the most popular belief is that MSU will win the […]
Top-ranked Michigan State met Notre Dame for their second series of the season, and while both games resulted in the Spartans picking up three points in the standings, the two could not have felt more different. A tightly contested opener on Thursday night turned into a complete blowout on Friday. Game 1: Michigan State 4, Notre Dame 2 What became a tightly checked, highly physical contest began with the Spartans opening the scoring just over three minutes in. Maxim Strbak skated int...
In Saturday’s tilt against the top-20 Arkansas, the luck of number 73 seemed to die out in Fayetteville. Heading into the game, the Tigers were a perfect 18-0 if they reached at least 73 points. However, Billy Richmond III and the Hogs matched Mizzou offensively and shut the door on the visitors. After both teams […]
