Remember the end of last March? Heading into the Elite Eight’s four regional finals, three Big Ten basketball teams had a chance to go to the Final Four. Two teams were seeded higher than their opponents (Michigan versus Kentucky in the Midwest, Michigan State versus Connecticut in the East), and the third team was arguably […]

The 2015 football schedule was unveiled on Thursday for the Atlantic Coast Conference and the ACC will play more teams from Power 5 conferences than any other league in America. Though maligned for much of the season in 2014, the ACC went 8-5 against other power conferences during the regular season and ACC champion Florida […]
“Hey, Big 12! We’re really good!” — The message BYU wants to send in its bowl game, even though the Big 12 won’t expand next year or the year after that. BYU is trying to plant seeds that will sprout several years down the line.

If you were to cite one pervasive flaw in college football — not a specific policy such as pass interference not being reviewable, or an isolated failing such as the unwillingness to schedule New Year’s Six games on Saturday, Jan. 2, 2016 — you could come up with several legitimate and compelling answers. You could […]

This took the #1 spot for SportsCenter’s #SCTop10 last night. Louisiana Tech went on to beat Western Kentucky by 13. The Bulldogs are now 16-5 on the year and have the best record in Conference USA (7-1) along with WKU….

This play pretty much summed up what Ohio State did to Maryland last night and who made the pass to Sam Thompson on this awesome in-bounds alley-oop? Of course it was D’Angelo Russell….

In the lead up to the Super Bowl, the players and the media have a carte blanch to discuss just about anything. Seattle Seahawks superstars Richard Sherman and Michael Bennett had quite a few things to say about the NCAA. Below are the highlights and jump over to ESPN to read the rest of the […]

When 19- and 20-year-old athletes are thrown into the fires of midseason pressure, with every game potentially pointing the way toward the NCAA tournament, volatility will emerge. This is just a fact of life. Some teams will win more consistently than others — think of Florida and Wichita State last season, Kentucky and Virginia this […]

D’Angelo Russell’s shoulders are not that broad, but as the ultimate barometer for Ohio State, Russell is certainly carrying his team. The Buckeyes go as Russell does, and their success will be determined by how far one of the top freshmen in the country can propel Thad Matta’s troops. The stats are clear. Russell’s 19.4 […]

I love listening to the passion that home team announcers have for their school (unless of course they are playing my team). Here’s a video of several calls from the Notre Dame broadcast team in their victory over the Duke Blue Devils last night…. h/t: reddit cbb

News broke yesterday that Louisville Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Grantham was interviewing for the same position with the NFL’s Oakland Raiders. Today, it was announced that the Raiders had offered him a two-year contract. Last year, Grantham signed a five-year contract with Louisville when he jumped from Georgia so I’m going to take a small […]

The Big 12 is the best conference in college basketball this season. The league has an average KenPom rating of .8507, by far the best in the country. 8 of the 10 teams in the league are in the KenPom top 50, and 9 are in the top 100. Perhaps it’s no coincidence, then, that […]

The circumstances under which Anthony Grant became the head basketball coach at the University of Alabama are, weirdly enough, the very reasons why the Crimson Tide need to start fresh with a new basketball coach at season’s end. Following a loss at home on Tuesday night to Billy Donovan and the Florida Gators, it’s clear […]

For the University of North Carolina (and, for that matter, Wake Forest University), this is supposed to be basketball season, a time of year when sports news focuses on the true religion of the Carolinas. Yet, the Tar Heels and the Demon Deacons have raised a few eyebrows in the province of pigskin with an […]
