We’re continuing to monitor the Tyran Stokes recruitment, as there are rumors circulating that Stokes could make a decision at tomorrow’s McDonalds All-American Game. Stokes, the top-ranked player in the 2026 class, is reportedly deciding between Kansas and Kentucky. Kentucky was thought to be the leader in his recruitment back in the fall, but the […]
The No. 1 overall player in the 2026 class, Tyran Stokes, may announce his college commitment at the McDonald’s All-American Game on Tuesday, March 31, in Glendale, Arizona, according to Joe Tipton of On3. Kansas is still viewed as the leader in the recruitment, though uncertainty surrounding Bill Self’s future with the Jayhawks could shake […]
When a college basketball fan thinks of the sport, it’s hard not to start with the Blue Bloods. Kentucky. North Carolina. Duke. Kansas. UCLA. All of these programs together — with possibly the recent surge from UConn — write most (if not all) of the history of college basketball. St. John’s head coach Rick Pitino […]
This year’s Sweet 16, which is now underway, is unlike any other in the last 72 years of college basketball. This is the first Sweet 16 since 1954 that does not include Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, or UCLA. It was a rough year for those four blue-blood college basketball programs, with a lot of ups […]
Sunday was Fun Day in the NCAA Tournament with two stunning buzzer beaters. First, St. John’s knocked off Kansas on a layup by Dylan Darling with 3.6 seconds left. Then Iowa shocked the basketball world with a corner three by Alvaro Folgueiras that sent defending champion Florida home. For much of the first game, neither […]
Whistle, whistle, whistle. Kansas was content to burn its remaining fouls to give, denying Dylan Darling from advancing the ball past the timeline over and over again. This final possession re-told Darling’s frustrating night, who was held scoreless and missed all four of his shot attempts to that point. The Red Storm let momentum slip […]
We’ll use this as the open thread for the two games before Kansas plays, then we’ll have a thread for KU, and another thread for the late games. This is the most game threads I’ve ever created
Welcome to the thread for Sunday’s NCAA Tournament game between St. John’s and Kansas, where the winner advances to face 1-seed Duke in the Sweet Sixteen. Please be respectful in the comment section and do not share any illegal streams of the game. You can follow updates of this game on Rumble in the Garden’s […]
It’s here. Kansas is playing their first (and hopefully not last) NCAA Tournament game. If you want to learn a little more about the opponent, check out my complete preview of tonight’s game here Rock Chalk!
If the Jayhawks want to avoid being the victim of a major first round upset today, they’ll need to get past 13 seed Cal Baptist. The Lancers are 25-8 this year, after going 13-5 in WAC play. The most important thing to know about the Lancers is far and away their 5’10 point guard, Dominique […]
Kansas has a shot at making the Big 12 championship game, but they’ll have to get through Houston first. Houston is a 5.5 point favorite, and the game will be broadcast on ESPN. The game will also be played on a standard hardwood court. Rock Chalk!
The kid Kansas… is now the Big Ten’s best freshman. After a historic first season in Champaign, Keaton Wagler was honored Tuesday as the league’s Freshman of the Year. The lightly recruited four-star guard has had a dominant campaign for No. 9 Illinois, highlighted by his 46-point outburst in an upset win over Purdue in […]
This weird, ugly season is finally almost over. We’ve reached was is very likely the penultimate game for the 2025-26 version of the Kansas State Wildcats men’s basketball squad. This is the regular season finale, and the Cats should not be expected to make it out of the opening round next week in Kansas City […]

No change in the top three, as Duke, Arizona, and Michigan had dominant 2-0 weeks where they beat strong competition. The Blue Devils rolled past Virginia, the Wildcats clobbered Kansas, and the Wolverines romped past Illinois 84-70 on the road. Below them, UConn and Florida impressed in the battle for the fourth 1-seed, with the […]
Arizona men’s basketball’s dominant win over Kansas Saturday was enough to keep the Wildcats at No. 2 in this week’s Associated Press Top 25. Duke leads the rankings, followed by Arizona, Michigan, UConn and Florida. Arizona received four first-place votes, with the other 55 going to the Blue Devils. Only seven points separate Arizona and […]
The 2025-26 season began about four months ago when Arizona took the college basketball world by storm and knocked off defending champion Florida in Las Vegas. The spotlight has been on the Wildcats ever since, growing brighter during a nonconference slate that included five wins over ranked opponents and only intensified as they got off […]
Tyran Stokes, the No. 1-ranked player in the Class of 2026, has yet to make a decision on a school. As of November 1st, 2025, the Nike signature athlete is down to three schools: Kansas, Kentucky, and Oregon. With the high school season wrapping up soon, Stokes’ commitment date could be in the near future. […]
Another week, another new #1. Michigan’s reign atop the world was short-lived, as #3 Duke was on their schedule and usurped the throne with a 68-63 win in Washington, D.C. The Blue Devils are 25-2 now with wins over Michigan, Kansas, Arkansas, Florida, and Michigan State, and losses to only Texas Tech and North Carolina. […]
TCU Men’s Basketball enters the season’s stretch run with one of the nation’s most confounding NCAA Tournament resumes. Highlighted by elite wins over Florida & Iowa State, near-wins vs. top teams Michigan, BYU, and Kansas, and season sweeps over fellow Big 12 Bubble contenders Baylor & Oklahoma State, the Frogs should be in solid shape. […]
Kansas looks to start a new winning streak tonight, but they have to do it on the road. OSU has been feisty at times this year, but KenPom ranks them just 64th nationally. Looking at the four factors and other key stats, Oklahoma State doesn’t stand out as particularly good or particularly bad in many […]
Despite opening the game 1-of-10 from the field and shooting 3-of-10 at the free throw line in the second half, the No. 5 Cyclones – who led by as much as 24 (62-38 with 12:04 remaining in the game) – cruised to an 18 point victory, 74-56, over No. 9 Kansas on Saturday at Hilton […]
While it may not have felt like it was possible a few nights ago, the sun did indeed still rise on the morning after Arizona lost its first game of the season. The Wildcats are still No. 1 in the Associated Press Top 25 but no longer unbeaten, that distinction done away by Kansas on […]
2/4-2/10 Spotlight: Dylan Andrews Hailing from Gardena, California, Dylan Andrews went from unranked to a top 50 recruit nationally after transferring to Compass Prep in Arizona for his senior year of high school. He had offers from some of the biggest brands in college basketball, including Kansas, Arizona, and Louisville, but he ultimately decided to […]
With Arizona’s loss to Kansas on Monday night, the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks are now the nation’s lone undefeated team in men’s Division I college basketball. Unfortunately for the MAC leaders, their profile may not warrant an at-large bid at this point, let alone a spot on the top seed line, and that’s not likely to […]
