ST. LOUIS — Two and a half minutes into No. 2 seeded Iowa State’s First Round game against No. 15 seeded Tennessee State, the (per the box score) 17,192 in attendance seemingly held their collective breath as consensus All-American Joshua Jefferson fell awkwardly. Jefferson required assistance off the floor and returned to the bench with […]
Otega Oweh etched his spot in Kentucky and March Madness lore forever on Friday afternoon as he drilled a 32-footer to send the game to overtime tied at 70. The historic shot has come with a bit of controversy, as Santa Clara’s head coach was seen calling for a timeout before the ball was inbounded. […]
Purdue is now 13-3 in first round NCAA Tournament games under Matt Painter, an this one was a rout pretty much from the word go. The game was at least somewhat in doubt for all of 19 seconds tied 2-2 very early on. The Fletcher Loyer hit a three to make it 5-2 and it […]
On Friday night, the Michigan State Women’s Basketball Team looked every bit as rusty as you would expect from a team that has not played since March 5 (and hasn’t won a game since February 22). After losing their position as a four-seed, and the hosting of first weekend games that comes with it, the […]
Two summers ago, Dominique Daniels Jr. had a ton of options. The 5-foot-10-inch point guard had just completed an electric first year at Cal Baptist after two years at San Bernardino Valley College; at 19 points a game, he was the second-highest scorer in the conference. Cal Baptist was on an upward trajectory, and he […]
After Friday’s listless 67-61 loss to Iowa, Clemson’s season ends in the opening round of the NCAA tournament for the second straight year. Just like last year, the first half offensive performance doomed the Tigers. They scored 13 points last year against McNeese State, and this year just 25. Clemson finished the season 24-11 … Continue reading »
During this four hour trek between West Lafayette and St. Louis today I was thinking about how lucky I am to do this. How lucky all of us are to be Purdue fans. If you were on the internet at all last night or this morning you might’ve seen the long time (41 years) Nebraska […]

Kentucky Basketball didn’t just win… they survived. The No. 7 seed Wildcats outlasted No. 10 Santa Clara 89–84 in overtime in a game that had everything: Runs, momentum swings, and a finish that still doesn’t feel real. It felt like Kentucky was fighting all night. Every time they grabbed control, Santa Clara answered. And then, […]

The season ends the same way that it began: losing to a team based out of Utah on a “neutral” court. More to come in the coming days and weeks, as the transfer portal will be key to improving Villanova’s odds for next season. But for this one, the attrition to the roster and a […]
On Friday, No. 5-seed Maryland women’s basketball traveled down to ACC territory. Head coach Brenda Frese made it clear how homey their old stomping grounds felt. “We’ve been able to get a lot of wins here,” Frese said. “For me, it was really comfortable for our team.” The Terps were comfortable as they dominated No. […]
The story this game was two experienced Friday starters that found a way to get it done and kept batters from teeing off. Both pitchers had to work hard with a tight strike zone, but both of them were able to adapt and keep the other team’s batters from putting up many runs on the board. And, […]

You might remember that back in mid-December, I penned an article on this website titled “Is Marquette Getting Worse?” That was published in the wake of Marquette men’s basketball losing 96-76 to Wisconsin on December 6th and just one day before the Golden Eagles took a 79-59 loss on the road against Purdue. The ultimate […]
SAN DIEGO—It’s only fitting that Arizona will need to beat a Mountain West Conference team in a Mountain West arena to get back to another Sweet 16. Ninth-seeded Utah State outscored No. 8 Villanova 15-3 over the final six minutes to win 86-76 on Friday afternoon at Viejas Arena, setting up a second round matchup […]

Welcome to BTSC’s Friday night open thread:
SAN DIEGO—Arizona had no trouble with its opening opponent in the 2026 NCAA Tournament, beating No. 16 seed Long Island by 32 points.

UW nabbed a victory over the South Dakota State Jackrabbits in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament this morning. The first quarter SDSU came out swinging and got UW on their heels.
