I said after the last game that if the Deacs didn’t play better against Vanderbilt, the game was going to get ugly in a hurry. Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened in this one, as the Commodores completed blew Wake off their own home court and handed the Deacs their worse home loss since 2019 […]
ARIZONA PRESENCE IN THE PAINT, AWAKA REBOUNDING ENDS AZTECS UPSET BID. Saturday night in Phoenix in the Naismith Hall of Fame Series game, the San Diego State Aztecs came out early with a strong physical presence. Determined to slow down the fast paced Wildcats, the Aztecs made Arizona work for every single point. The Aztecs […]
Zam Jones provided the kill shot on Sunday afternoon, burying a three with 33 seconds to go and the shot clock winding down to give NC State a 65-59 advantage. It’s not surprising that she was up to the moment, as she played an outstanding game. The Pack made the key plays in crunch time—a […]

After hitting 5-of-11 from deep against Chicago State on Saturday afternoon, Nick Dorn is now shooting 43.9 percent from 3-point range on 4.1 attempts per game. Dorn is doing most of his damage out of the corners. From the left ... The post Film Session: Nick Dorn’s corner 3-pointers against Chicago State appeared first on Inside the Hall | Indiana Hoosiers Basketball News, Recruiting and Analysis .
Shorthanded and on the road, Northwestern (6-6, 0-1 B1G) hung around early but couldn’t match George Washington’s (8-5, 1-0 A-10) fourth-quarter surge, losing 75-62 in Joe McKeown’s homecoming for its sixth straight loss. The Wildcats were plagued by the absences of Grace Sullivan, Casey Harter and DaiJa Turner in Sunday’s contest. Without those three key […]
Seth Trimble returned to action on Saturday afternoon after a six-week absence due to a weight room accident that broke his left forearm. Trimble had only played two games before the mishap, yet returned looking like he was in midseason form. Trimble played a team-high 38 minutes in UNC’s 71-70 win, scoring 17 points on […]
Big 12 women’s basketball competition is already underway. Several teams had their first contests on Saturday, Dec. 20. The Arizona Wildcats and a few others will get underway in the coming days. What did each team do in their nonconference season? Here’s a rundown of the 15 other teams in the order that Arizona will […]
In its penultimate game of non-conference play, Mizzou women’s basketball rolled to an 84-57 win over North Alabama. The Tigers have now won seven of their last eight games. Grace Slaughter and Jayla Smith each had stellar offensive outings, as the two combined for 32 of Mizzou’s 38 first-half points and 42 of its 84 […]
Nebraska is finding ways to win even when it’s ugly, even when their star player goes 1-6 in the first half, which might not have been the case a few years ago. This team constantly has people who pick it up when they need it most and my favorite thing about them is you never […]
Penn State suffered arguably its most embarrassing loss of the season to date, an 80-46 listless blowout against Pitt. Pitt made five of its first eight three-pointers and raced out to an early 15-6 lead in the first six minutes. Penn State was ice cold, making just two of its first 11 field goals. Freddie […]

Nolan Traore had a decent game all around in the high altitude of Mexico City Saturday, but his five turnovers proved to be costly as Long Island fell to Mexico City, 111-102, at the G League Winter Showcase in Orlando. He even flirted with a triple double running the point but the 6’5” French man […]
Behind a program-record 19 three-point shots, six of them from high-scorer Jordan Burks, the UCF Knights dispatched the FGCU Eagles 102-80 on Saturday afternoon. Themus Fulks added 21 points and five assists, and Jamichael Stillwell recorded 14 points and 13 rebounds — his fifth double-double of the season. UCF extended its best start in the […]
Hopefully you’ve fully recovered from Carolina’s rollercoaster of a win over Ohio State on Saturday, because the Tar Heels are right back in action tomorrow against ECU. It will only be the fourth men’s basketball game between these in-state schools. Carolina faced ECU in the first round of the 1993 NCAA Tournament, and hosted the […]
The Syracuse Orange are now 8-4 with the final non-conference game approaching, but it hasn’t been totally pretty. The Orange defeated Northeastern by eight points at home on Saturday, but against an opponent that ranks sub-200 in the NET, certainly fans were expecting a more promising result coming off a not-so-convincing win the game prior […]
Good win for the short handed Celtics! I love how much love all our guys got from the Raptors fans. Pritchard, Garza, Gonzalez, White, Minott, Hauser, Queta. All got love and respect in the comments along with some amazement that they were playing so well. They certainly like Celtics players more than their own players. And yet one fan thinks Pritchard has a punchable face. They especially covet our coach. My favorites are in bold.&nb...
Well, it was ugly, but Vanderbilt managed to survive a trip to Memphis on Wednesday. And now comes the second-to-last basketball game of 2025, with Vanderbilt crossing over the Blue Ridge today and going to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where our old gold and black friends from the ACC are 9-3 under sixth-year head coach Steve […]
The Wisconsin Badgers had another loss this week, this time to the Villanova Wildcats in a 76-66 overtime defeat. It was a tough game where the Badgers dug themselves into a hole early, got out of it, and couldn’t finish the job in a poor overtime session that cost them their fourth loss of the […]
Saturday night, Duke lost its first game of the year. The loss came on a neutral site, by one point, to a Top 20 Texas Tech squad with a pre-season All American (JT Toppin) and a dynamic young point guard (Christian Anderson) who may himself challenge for similarly lofty accolades. Despite that star power, the […]
Another big opportunity, another down-to-the-wire showdown and another narrow loss. That’s become the theme of the 2025-26 Northwestern men’s basketball season of late. The Wildcats have now played five games that were decided by fewer than six points — all against Power Conference opponents, with four of those games being losses. Their 61-58 loss to […]
First things first – I want to apologize for not having anything together for the USF game earlier this week – my oldest kid was home sick and between that and my actual job, it just wasn’t going to happen. Shoutout to Josh for covering for me from the Atlanta airport. He gets paid the […]
Anytime a team like North Carolina plays in a competitive game like it did against Ohio State in the annual CBS Sports Classic, there are going to be several players who greatly contributed to help the team secure the one point win. It takes a full team effort to get a win like that, and […]
It’s been a rough start to the season for the Wisconsin Badgers, who are off to their worst start since the 2019-20 season at 7-4. The latest blow was a 76-66 overtime loss to the Villanova Wildcats, where the Badgers had a poor first half, a great second half, and an ugly overtime period. It […]
