ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Brendan Coyle is too young to have fond memories of Siena’s last MAAC Tournament Championship. Fran McCaffery completed a three-peat in 2010 following a 17-1 MAAC record on the backs of some of the MAAC’s all-time great players. In the few years after, Coyle, from nearby Niskayuna, began attending games at […]
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Carly Thibault-DuDonis talks the talk. She has consistently stated that she wants to turn Fairfield into not just one of the best mid-major women’s basketball programs in the country, but one of the premier programs at any level. She’s accomplished the first part, as the Stags are an incredible 64-2 in […]
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — You’re going to show up bruised. You’re going to show up battered. But you’d better show up desperate. No excuses. No second chances. No margin for error. We’ve played the non-conference slate. We’ve played 20 regular-season conference games. That’s your margin for error. There’s where your excuses will land. Now? Nobody […]
In Tuesday night’s ACC Action, Virginia nipped Wake Forest, 75-70, UNC survived Clemson, 67-63, Virginia Tech thumped BC, 72-63, and Louisville handled Syracuse, 77-62. We honestly didn’t think that Wake Forest could keep up with Virginia in this one. First, UVA has vastly more size than Wake, and second, the Cavaliers were bound to be […]
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — It was an emotional Tuesday night at State Farm Center as the Illini faithful bid farewell to their seniors, and it ended quite perfectly. No. 11 Illinois rediscovered its identity on both sides of the floor in its final home game of the season, taking down Oregon 80-54 in the first ever […]
As a reminder, the stated policy of Dawg Sports regarding University of Georgia basketball is to ideally acknowledge its existence once annually. It’s not because we aren’t hoops fans. We would love to see the ‘Dawgs win every game, and in fact for my part, I can say I watch a decent amount of bulldog […]
Kansas Jayhawk News Well, that happened. Thought about doing the bit where I just pretend that last night didn’t happen but with Self getting tossed and the outcome, we may as well look at the reactions. Fox Sports has a little video that may be worth checking out here. And here’s the recap from Fox […]

As the calendar flips to March, the margin for error has officially evaporated for teams clinging to the NCAA Tournament’s ever-shrinking bubble. While the heavyweights at the top like Duke, UConn, Arizona, Michigan, and possibly Florida have largely turned the race for No. 1 seeds into a private invitational, the real drama is unfolding in […]
The ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC conference tournaments all tip off on Wednesday. With recent conference expansion, these tournaments have become even more massive, with tournaments completing two rounds before most top teams even take the court. Those logistics, in combination with the top-heavy character of most conferences, can result in the early […]
Did Colts choose correctly when they transition tagged Daniel Jones instead of pursuing and signing Kyler Murray?

The Dogs got 32 points from Kanon Catchings to lead the win over the Tide 98-88. Alabama fell to 22-8 overall and 12-5 in the SEC. Georgia improved to 21-9 overall and […]
Ohio State still has questions to answer this spring, but not everywhere. At the NFL Combine, the Buckeyes didn’t just show up. They took over. On the hardwood, the basketball team absorbed a damaging loss and then delivered one of its biggest wins of the season. And as March looms, Ohio State finds itself exactly […]
Actually, NOPE. Ain’t gonna be no deep dive. We all have better things to do. In short though, the overall results were some combination of: In terms of big picture stats, three things jump out to combine for a mega NOT GREAT, BOB. Via KenPom, here are Ole Miss’ rankings in adjusted tempo (possessions per […]
As we enter March Madness and the greatest time to be alive as college basketball fans, many of the conversations we have with our friends and fellow fans revolve around legends of the game. The University of Notre Dame is no stranger to being the home of a legendary sports figure. In fact, Notre Dame […]
Good morning, BBN! Well, that was an ugly game to watch last night. It started off so strong. The Kentucky Wildcats seemed to have picked up right where they left off against Vanderbilt, gaining a 30-18 lead with about nine minutes left in the first half. Then, Mark Pope decided to play five reserves at […]
As the Celtics sweep through the final stretch of what’s been a magical season of career-best breakouts, I often think about a Media Day headline I wrote when expectations were in a significantly different state. The 2025-26 Celtics are one big Stay Ready squad. Ironically, “Stay Ready” isn’t the en vogue phrase of the 2025-26 […]
The Kentucky Wildcats have found themselves playing from behind versus high-major teams a good bit this season. An awful trend that has continued to occur throughout this roller-coaster of a season. According to Steven Peake at KSR, the Wildcats have trailed by 15+ in 40% of their games against high-major teams this season. A mind-boggling […]

Just like they did in late January, Michigan State will tip it off against Rutgers prior to a rivalry game with Michigan. Last time, it was Rutgers on the road before hosting the Wolverines. This time, Rutgers comes to the Breslin center on Thursday (8 PM – FS1) before MSU closes out the Big Ten […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we are talking about Mizzou Basketball. Mizzou fell in a more important game than some might’ve though, as the Tigers are back in the bubble picture per ESPN’s Joe Lunardi’s Bracketology. Mizzou had been on a hot streak winning six of its last eight, bolstering its chances at an […]
The 2025-2026 Boston Celtics have been defined by exceeding expectations, and no one on this Celtics roster, and maybe not in the entire league, has exceeded expectations more than Neemias Queta. There were plenty of reasons to be skeptical of the Celtics coming into the season; they would be relying on a roster comprised of […]
