The 2024-25 NCAA freshman class impressed, but now, another year into their collegiate careers, it’s time for them to take the next step and take their teams to a higher level. Many of these now-sophomores are set to be the best player and key voice for their Power 4 programs. Can they step up and […]
It’s hard to imagine a time of Auburn basketball without Bruce Pearl on the sidelines. A time when they were a destitute and moribund program lost to the deep confines of play in games in the SEC Tournament. Auburns history as a program is a little all over the map. The Charles Barkley years were […]
It appears as if the fears of the U.S. Government shutdown keeping the women’s basketball season-opener between Louisville and Connecticut from taking place in Germany are about to be realized. “I feel pretty confident that we’re not going to Germany,” Walz said on Wednesday. “I’m 100 percent confident that we’re going to play the game. […]
The Kentucky Wildcats checked in at No. 9 overall in the first AP Top 25 Poll. Now, the first edition of the Coaches Poll is out, and the Cats checked in at No. 9 yet again. This means Kentucky will be a consensus top-10 team to start Year 2 of the Mark Pope era after […]
THE FIVE BEST WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE: CHICAGO BULLS BASKETBALL IS BACK! The NBA season officially tipped off on Tuesday night with an epic double-overtime matchup between the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder. While I’m not sure anyone would have predicted that exhilarating of an opening game, there is no question that it felt like fans were in store for something big when first flipping the channel to NBC. The league’s return to the network after a two-decade-long hiatus...

Can a Final Four be medicinal? As many of you know, I was away from Hammer & Rails, the site I started way back in 2009, for the past three years. Casey and I were doing our work over at Rivals.com before they were bought out by On3, ending a tenure that, in retrospect, feels […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. My friends, we’ve made it. Another long offseason is over, and while *ahem* certain narratives around […]
With Ian Jackson transferring to St. John’s and Drake Powell getting drafted by the Brooklyn Nets, the sophomore class is a little uncharted and a lot unfamiliar. There are two new arrivals, two returnees from last year and one player who sat last year out. It’s not the most exciting group, but you never know […]
Austin, Matt, and Dylan mourn the end of Iowa State’s mens basketball season after losing the exhibition to Creighton. Matt actually did watch it, so he has some insight for us. We also hand out our weekly 6 pack and celebrate fans that paid for the game plus the arrival of fall weather. We’re cautiously […]
The Syracuse Orange ranked 16th out of 18 ACC teams in field goal percentage defense at the rim. They ranked low in blocks, in steals, and couldn’t create transition opportunities because of it. Red Autry and his staff understood that the change was going to start at the center position. “I wanted to change that […]
The world of money in college sports has changed quite a bit recently. Over the summer a settlement was made which allowed universities to directly pay athletes, so I wanted to go over the details to see what exactly the Mountain West has, how it compares, and what the impact might be this year. First […]
How can TCU build on its run game against Baylor? Can the Horned Frogs avoid turning the ball over on the road? Is the team still in the hunt for a Big 12 championship game bid? We’ll answer those questions from our Facebook followers as the Horned Frogs (5-2, 2-2 Big 12) gear up for […]
Cara Consuegra has an interesting thing happening with her 2025-26 Marquette women’s basketball team: She brings everyone back from her first season in charge. Not her entire rotation, not everyone except her seniors. Everyone, all 12 women, back for one more go-around. That does present a teeeeeeny little bit of a problem when it comes […]
Every Monday at noon, Curt Cignetti steps behind the microphone, not just to fulfill a media obligation – but to deliver a message his program will hear loud and clear. Sometimes, he further breaks down the film of the prior ...

Heading into the 2025-26 season, there’s one goal in mind for new Syracuse Orange women’s basketball guard Laila Phelia: getting back her confidence. It’s been a rollercoaster journey for Phelia, who transferred to the program over the offseason. The two-time all-Big Ten selection played just eight games last season with her most recent team, the […]
There are now only three ACC teams without a conference loss: Georgia Tech, Virginia, and SMU. To make matters worse for the Canes, those three teams do not face each other this season, with Miami only playing SMU. Yikes. If they want any chance of making it to Charlotte, Coach Cristobal’s squad better take care […]
The 2025–26 season has barely begun, but Gonzaga fans have already been given their first real hints of just how valuable Ismaila Diagne will be for the Zags this year. Through the Kraziness in the Kennel scrimmage and the exhibition win over Northwest University, the 7-foot sophomore has moved from theoretical upside to observable influence. […]

It seems like Brad Underwood’s Illinois teams get deeper every single season. For each of the past several seasons, offseason hoops talks revolve around how much talent and depth Underwood has accumulated. That depth was on display in Illinois’ first public showing on Sunday, a 92-65 win in an exhibition against Illinois State. Despite three […]
