Kent State came into this game looking to keep pace in the MAC East division. Rival Akron stood in the way. Kent State jumped out to a big early lead but Akron came roaring back to take a brief lead in the second half. The game came down to the final possession with the score […]

One of many veins running through the long and rich history of college basketball is the flow of New Yorkers into the South – not just the broader region, but the Carolinas in particular. One could devote a larger article to the history of New Yorkers succeeding throughout the Southern United States. Such an article […]

It’s the first weekend of March. You might be intimately familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of Virginia, and you might be preparing to size up Kansas without Perry Ellis as the Jayhawks prepare to face Oklahoma. You might know various power-conference teams inside and out. However, what about a league such as the Atlantic […]

Because it seems that about half of the Big Ten Conference has found itself located firmly on the bubble, this weekend’s schedule provides some very tantalizing games. Bubble games might not feature the best teams, but they bring the most drama to the conclusion of the regular season, leading into the conference tournaments. The Big […]

With a couple of notable exceptions, the Big 12 quarterback class of 2014 failed to light the world on fire like some of it’s predecessors. Bryce Petty and Trevone Boykin were dynamic, but beyond those two stars was a mishmash of the good, the mediocre and the forgettable. In 2011, the Big 12 had four […]

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 […]

The regular season will come to a close this weekend, and life for teams on the bubble is very fragile. Key developments this week within mid-major conferences have shrunk the number of bubble spots, and at this point in the season, one game can make or break a team’s NCAA hopes. Teams in all caps […]

It doesn’t happen every spring, but it does happen every March, just before the seasons officially change: A plot twist in the middle section of a power-conference race puts a bubble team in even bigger trouble. Hmmm — why this focus on the “middle section” of a conference race? What could be the point of […]

In one of the better and more heartwarming stories of the college basketball season, the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has been invited to play in its first Division I postseason tournament, the CIT. The CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, which is like the distant, non-blood relative to the NCAA Tournament and only cousins with the NIT […]

Thanks to some great reporting from the Duke Chronicle, more and more information is coming to the light concerning Rasheed Sulaimon being accused of sexually assaulting two different women. The details that have been reported are troubling, confusing to some, and are part of a situation that should be played out over the course of a […]

Some people love Gus Johnson’s style and some people don’t but you have to admire somebody who goes full “WOOOOOO!” while calling a basketball game…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfZ5HAIYfWU h/t: Uproxx

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before. Sam Thompson scores two points simply by staying active on an in-bounds play…

Pundits, websites, and television commentators — in sports but also politics and other realms of human endeavor — will frequently exaggerate. Some of this is intentional (click-bait, ratings, starting conversations, etc.), but there comes a point in time when people paid to analyze a given field of activity really do believe in an extreme position.

Tuesday night, the Kansas Jayhawks won the outright Big 12 championship most people thought they’d win all along, present company very much included. Death. Taxes. Bill Self winning the Big 12. It’s part of the air we breathe in college basketball, as regular as your morning coffee or six timeouts in the final two minutes […]
