The Texas Longhorns had a big lead pretty much all night against the Iowa State Cyclones in the Big 12 tournament. It was looking like Texas was on their way to cementing an NCAA tournament bid as they held a 10 point lead with 3:35 remaining. Then Texas decided to go all out Texas. Iowa […]

The AAC tournament kicks off this afternoon in Hartford, Connecticut. It’s one of the more unusual tournaments in the country because the 6th seeded team is the second favorite to pull down the tournament crown. The Connecticut Huskies are two made buzzer beating three pointers and a Shaq Goodwin shot that bounced 4 times on […]
LSU stopped Vanderbilt on Saturday. The Tigers aren’t stopping in their pursuit of an NCAA berth, which is picking up momentum.

One of the biggest topics surrounding Championship Week is bid thieves, or — for people who don’t like that term — surprising autobid winners. These are teams that don’t have a case for an at-large NCAA tournament bid; they can only make it if they win their conference tournament. What we are going to do […]

The very lengthy headline isn’t quite enough praise on what was a truly fantastic game in the CAA tournament. Top seed William & Mary was pushed to the extreme limit by 5th seeded Hofstra. The game went into double overtime with both teams making huge plays, but none at the buzzers of regulation or the […]

The Ohio Valley Conference tournament was tremendous. The fun and excitement carried over into a tremendous championship game between Murray State and Belmont. The lead went back and forth, both teams made big play after big play. With his team down two, Taylor Barnette did this: That beautiful play by Rick Byrd ends Murray State’s […]

Buddy Hield of Oklahoma went just 6 of 20 from the field today, but this was the 6th made field goal: A tip in that put the Sooners over Kansas in a wild one in Norman. The Big 12 was one of, if not THE, best league(s) to watch this season. The OU-Kansas game was […]

LSU picked up a huge, huge win at Arkansas to close the regular season on this shot by Keith Hornsby: LSU ended the game on a 6-0 run. The Tigers are now 5-4 against the RPI top 50 with the win at Arkansas, 22-9 overall. One team is breathing a little easier today.

The one bid leagues have kicked off tournament play in earnest. Some got started earlier this week, some last night, but we are just about to get into the major swing of things. I happen to love small conference tournaments. These teams have only one chance to get to the NCAA tournament. The league champions […]

Montrezl Harrell will dunk on anyone if given the chance. Why people try to challenge him, I don’t really know. This FSU defender learned the hard way: My favorite part is the staredown. I choose to look at it as more of a “What do you think you are trying to prove?” than a sign […]

Seth Tuttle is a name that even casual college basketball fans have started to hear the last few weeks. The Northern Iowa star has emerged as an All-American candidate. Tuttle is currently third on the Ken Pomeroy player of the year list, which helps to show that every stat out there loves him… and why […]

This shot by Duke’s Tyus Jones shows just how fickle the sport of basketball can be. The ball touched every last inch of the rim. The shot was halfway down. Yet, none of this counts because the whimsical hand of fate came into play and the ball spun out. Sports are cruel.

Georgia Tech’s Tadric Johnson put a highlight end to the first half with this dunk over Louisville’s Chinanu Onuaku. Georgia Tech currently leads Louisville 24-17 at the half. Post Chris Jones life is not going well for the Cards.

Oregon upset Utah today to get a huge boost for their NCAA tournament resume. The biggest highlight from the Oregon win was Dillon Brooks dunking on the entire Utah team and half the state of Utah:

A lot has been written about who’s on the bubble, and a lot more will be written as we approach the NCAA tournament. One of the things that gets lost in the hurricane of RPI, SOS, good wins, and bad losses is the surprise that we are talking about some schools as being tournament teams […]

The Seton Hall Pirates are imploding. 15-6 after defeating Xavier, the team has dropped 5 in a row to fall to 15-11. Jaren Sina left the team. There have been talks of the team nearly coming to blows in timeouts and word of a divided locker room. Things seemed to come to a frustrating head […]
