Once again, ESPN and its many channels will be broadcasting (more than) 24 hours of college basketball in a row to begin the 2015-’16 season. This will be the eighth year of the tip off marathon and ESPN, and at first glance it looks like one of the best lineups (if not the best lineup) […]

Didn’t we just do this? Believe it or not, the America East Conference and Northeast Conference are different, and somehow the NEC managed to be just a bit better via KenPom last season. Last season Robert Morris finally made the NCAA tournament after either winning the league’s regular season title or making the conference title […]

Albany has had one of the best home court advantages in college basketball over the last two years, but not for the reason you might expect. The Great Danes I’m sure have a great crowd and passionate fan base, but their biggest advantage comes in the form of Albany getting to host the preliminary rounds […]

Presidential candidates and campaign managers think John Calipari’s spin needs to be a little more reasonable: The news value — if you can find any in this hilarious statement — is simply that Calipari felt the need to say this, whether or not he really believes it deep inside. Why exactly would he feel the […]

Football season (what’s that?) is a little more than a month away, but the more important season is coming up faster than people realize, so the previews are about to pick up a notch in swiftness of appearance. The Southland has been dominated by Stephen F. Austin over the last three seasons. The Lumberjacks have […]

It’s been two years since Florida Gulf Coast charmed the country and made a run to the Sweet 16 as a 15 seed, prompting USC to hire Andy Enfield, and in that time new head coach Joe Dooley, a former assistant at Kansas, has finished tied for first and second in the league, but has […]

The United States won its first gold medal at the World University Games since 2005 on Monday in an effort spearheaded by the Kansas Jayhawks (minus Devonte Graham, who was injured, and Svi Mykhailiuk, Cheick Diallo, and Dwight Coleby, who are not American citizens) plus Nic Moore of SMU and Julian DeBose of Florida Gulf […]
This man’s in a lot of trouble.

Reports have come out that Austin Nichols would like to transfer from Memphis. These reports are nothing new. College basketball players transfer from one school to another on the regular. So much so, in fact, that it is a somewhat accepted part of the college basketball offseason carousel. However, there are sometimes exceptions to what might first […]

With the 2015 draft in the books, all eyes turn to 2016. I’ve just started to really watch a lot of these guys, so this big board will change quite a bit in the coming months. It’s also worth noting that I have only watched a handful of the international guys, so more of those […]

Pop quiz: At what age did John Wooden call it a career? Don’t feel bad — I had to look this up myself. Answer: 64 years of age. Bo Ryan will coach his last game at age 68 after announcing that the 2015-2016 college basketball season will be his last. It’s not that much of […]

With the NBA Draft set to take place on Thursday, it’s a good time to release my final big board. It’s worth noting before we get too far that I am only ranking guys who I have seen enough to feel comfortable with, so Kristaps Porzingis and Mario Hezonja are almost the entire European contingent […]

We will have coverage of the World University Games, which start next month, here at TSS, and the first bit of news is not good for Team USA (or the Kansas Jayhawks) as sophomore to be Devonte Graham injured his quad in a camp game yesterday. Graham will not need surgery, but he will have […]

With the NBA Draft rapidly approaching, teams have been ramping up their workouts, not only trying to find who they will pick in the first round, but trying to find those under the radar players to take in the second round. The deadline for international prospects to pull out came earlier in the week, and […]

When using the expression “in focus,” the meaning is almost always figurative. After Game 4 of the 2015 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers, “in focus” has an all too literal meaning. Do we really have to have cameras that close to a basketball court, and certainly near the stanchions at […]
