Yes, Kentucky demolished South Carolina on Saturday, as John Calipari asked for — and received — a blowout in Rupp Arena, something his team had not been doing with relentless regularity this season. However, while some of Big Blue Nation may have been sweating recent close wins against LSU and Florida (not to mention wins […]

Butler dared to dream big. Villanova’s Darrun Hilliard shattered those dreams with a memorable performance, and now, the Big East belongs to the team which won the conference a year ago. Villanova improved to 23-2 with a 68-65 victory at Butler on Saturday. The win gave Villanova a major leg up in the Big East […]

Tulane picked up a shocking upset today at Cincinnati that was capped by this buzzer beater by Jonathan Stark: Cincinnati’s tournament status takes a hit with losses to Tulane as well as East Carolina. The degree of difficulty on that shot was very high. Salute to Jonathan Stark. If you need me, I’ll be crying […]

Check out this epic fail from Arizona Wildcats forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. I think the ball boy might be out of a job after his lack of floor cleaning leading to this “dunk” attempt”…. The good news for the Wildcats is that they easily romped over Washington.

Let me refresh your memory a bit…. Clay was going in for an easy TD against Oregon but he dropped the ball before he reached the endzone and the Ducks scooped it up and ran it back for a TD of their own. That was the turning point in the game and the Ducks went […]

Auburn got into the “holiday” spirit by posting some holiday cards on their site for their fans to take advantage of. The best one was, of course, featuring their new defensive coordinator… The runner-up was probably this one, which was an ode to the vaunted Toomer’s Corner…. To see the rest of them head over […]

The amount of coaching moves that have taken place after signing day is getting ridiculous. The biggest one that made noise was Jeff Ulbrich leaving UCLA for the Atlanta Falcons but that was far from the only one. Coaching changes are inevitable but the timeline of when they take place (especially in conjunction with National […]

Over the past week, as you know, two of college basketball’s greatest coaches died. Dean Smith was 83, Jerry Tarkanian 84. Smith retired in his late 60s, and Tark made one last NCAA tournament appearance at age 70. Coaching 19-year-olds is generally not a senior citizen’s profession. Bill Snyder is the exception that proves the […]

Saturday, a lot of people are going to be drawn to LSU-Tennessee, a bubble game made prominent by the Tigers’ near-upset of No. 1 Kentucky. Others are going to focus on Ole Miss, a team trying to firm up its status as an NCAA tournament group, hosting Arkansas in the Tad Pad. Still others will […]

Earlier this week we detailed the plight of four-star linebacker prospect Roquan Smith. On National Signing Day, he verbally committed to UCLA but had a change of heart after finding out that the coach that recruited him might be leaving for another job. In a heads up move, Smith decided to wait to send in […]

Some in the Indianapolis area are calling the Butler-Villanova game on Saturday the biggest college game ever at historic Hinkle Fieldhouse… and it’s easy to see why. This is a landmark moment in the life of Hinkle Fieldhouse, one of college basketball’s most treasured venues. The Butler team that gained prominence in the cozy little […]

March is just around the corner as teams make their final push for a spot in the NCAA tournament. The field is once again 68 and for teams on the bubble, the time is now to make a run at a spot in the big dance as we look at which teams are currently in […]
Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino will get to coach against an SEC East team for the second straight game. He jumps from Kentucky to Georgia, and both games carry quite a lot of significance for the Cardinals. One was a rivalry game; this one is a little more personal, with UL defensive coordinator Todd Grantham being the center of attention.

Let’s say Johnny Five-Star is deemed the consensus-best football prospect in his home state after his sophomore season of high school. In the summer before his junior year, he gets the call he’s been waiting for his whole life. It’s Coach Seven-Figures offering him a scholarship to come play football at State U. Mr. Five-Star […]
