If it feels like No. 11 Ohio State women’s basketball consistently starts slow in games, it is because that is exactly what is happening. The 2025-26 Buckeyes welcomed the Wisconsin Badgers to Columbus on Thursday night, and the game went as expected when compared to the rest of the season. Ohio State beat the Badgers […]
A triumph over Penn State gave Northwestern its second Big Ten win, offering a glimmer of hope in what has been a tumultuous conference season. Now, the Wildcats face Washington on Saturday, another Big Ten team with hunger that has shown the potential to battle elite programs this year. This matchup, like every remaining game […]
Kentucky Basketball is about to face a massive road challenge Saturday night at Bud Walton Arena vs. John Calipari and the Arkansas Razorbacks.

After a near miss against No.7 Michigan State in overtime at home, Rutgers men’s basketball will look to break their four game losing streak as they head out to Los Angeles to take on USC on Saturday. The Scarlet Knights game against the Trojans is the first part of their two game LA road trip […]
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – With five teams tied for third place, each 5-4 in conference play, and with the next four teams lurking close behind (each within two games), this year’s normally competitive Coastal Athletic Conference has already produced even more parity than usual. However, two of the league’s perennial contenders – the UNC Wilmington Seahawks […]
As this UNC men’s basketball team was being put together after heavy turnover from last season, it was clear that perimeter shooting was a high priority for Hubert Davis and Jim Tanner. Kyan Evans was a deadly pull-up shooter at Colorado State last year; Luka Bogavac was a sniper in the Adriatic Basketball Association; Henri […]
Greetings, BBN! The midweek action has brought every team in the conference to either seven or eight games played, with Texas A&M leading the charge at 6-1 and LSU and Oklahoma bringing up the rear at 1-7. Arkansas, Alabama, and Vanderbilt all won Tuesday night to improve their positioning near the top of the standings, […]
It was a bitterly cold night, and New Yorkers were still dealing with massive snow and ice removal from the massive winter storm that shut down the city three days earlier. Nevertheless, 14,361 fans were in attendance. In pre-game discussions, fans continued to wonder about the Johnnies uncertainty at the point guard position. It was […]
The Arizona/ASU rivalry hasn’t been particularly competitive in mens’ basketball in recent years. If not for a 70-foot buzzer beater three years ago the Wildcats would be riding a 12-game win streak in the series. Instead, the UA is on a completely different streak, one that’s on the cusp of school history, ahead of the […]
Relocated to Birmingham due to weather, which means we are going to get a chance at top-20 Ole Miss on a neutral court. My site of choice for the women’s side seems to give about 6 points for home court and is currently giving the Brown Rebsharkqirrels a 3-point win over us before adjusting for […]

But this is what it looks like when a Top 10 team […]
I recently wrote that if the Washington Wizards are rewarded with the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, that they should not hesitate to take Kansas freshman guard Darryn Peterson. While I still believe that Peterson should be at the top of the Wizards’ big board, it would not be a disaster if […]
The Syracuse Orange (12-9, 3-5) and Notre Dame Fighting Irish (11-10, 2-6) are both fighting through 1-4 stretches heading into tomorrow night’s game.

Indiana men’s basketball is set to take on UCLA this Saturday on the road at the Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles. It’s the Hoosiers first trip to Los Angeles since UCLA and USC joined the Big Ten last season. UCLA has had something of a disappointing showing in 2025-25. The Bruins are by no means […]

The Lady Hokies have put 6 W’s in a row on the scoreboard, and this last one wasn’t pretty, but it pushes their ACC record to 7-3. There are many ways to win a basketball game. Grabbing the lead, early and staying ahead in a close contest is certainly one of them. How the Hokies […]
NBA All-Star Weekend is almost here, and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have a brief breather before Saturday’s clash with the Saint Mary’s Gaels, so the pause offers a natural moment to check in on the program’s NBA presence. As of this writing, 12 former Zags sit on active NBA rosters, with a couple more still grinding […]
Given Nebraska lost to Michigan by just three on Tuesday, while being down two key players, it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that the only thing that changed for the two teams in today’s bracket is the auto bid designation. But there’s still plenty to be decided in what is currently an 11-bid Big […]
Boston College picked up its first two ACC wins of the season in dramatic fashion against Syracuse and Pitt, before a disappointing road loss after blowing a 13-point second-half lead against Notre Dame. With a matchup against #17 Virginia looming, here are three things on my mind: We are now 11 games into the Luka […]
For most of the season, Taison Chatman has existed on the fringes of Ohio State’s rotation. Visible on the bench, active in warmups, but rarely part of the nightly plan. That changed against Penn State. With Gabe Cupps sidelined, Chatman was thrust into real minutes, and for the first time all season, he made them […]
