This was a game that many thought would be winnable, […]
Michigan’s Fab Five had an extraordinary impact on college basketball and to an extent, they still overshadow modern-day Michigan teams. So it’s no surprise that those guys are still front and center when Michigan plays Duke. And not surprisingly, given their track record, they still get it wrong. In this video clip, Michigan grad Rich […]

Unrivaled is all about 3×3 basketball, but even within those parameters, it’s never just about the sport. Rickea Jackson recently missed Unrivaled play for personal reasons. Her ex-boyfriend was arrested after an alleged domestic violence dispute involving Jackson. Obviously, such a serious situation takes precedence over a game, and Jackson took the time she needed […]
The Wolf Pack came into Saturday’s matchup against the Utah State Aggies on a two-game losing streak, and a bad one at that. With near 20-point losses to San Diego State and San Jose State, giving SJSU its second win in conference play, things were on the decline for Nevada, and coming back home to […]
Creighton’s road upset over fifth-ranked UConn caught the attention of the college basketball world. Although this year hasn’t gone to plan for a preseason top-25 team, that signature victory over the Huskies showed they can still beat the Big East’s best. The Red Storm weren’t letting that happen to them on Saturday afternoon. St. John’s […]
BYU desperately needed a signature win for morale and the resume, and the Cougs delivered Saturday night in a 79-69 home win #6 Iowa State in Provo. The committee released its top 16 seeds earlier in the day, and Iowa State was the fourth #1 seed. AJ Dybantsa was spectacular once again, playing all 40 […]
Gonzaga survived Pacific 71-62 on Saturday night in the Kennel, leaning once again on Graham Ike and a timely bench performance from Davis Fogle. And survived is the key word, here.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs survived the Pacific Tigers 71-62 on Saturday night in the Kennel, leaning once again on Graham Ike and a timely bench performance from Davis Fogle.

The Virginia Tech Hokies needed a strong performance on Saturday against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, after back-to-back losses put them two games under .500 in ACC play. Fortunately for the Hokies, everyone showed up on Saturday, as they dominated the Demon Deacons in an 82-63 victory. Last month, it was Wake Forest who handed […]
The Kentucky Wildcats dropped their third game in a row on the road against the Auburn Tigers by a final score of 75-74.

You never forget your first, especially when it takes this long to get it.

Down 66-60 with just over three minutes remaining, things were looking bleak for the Wildcats. Then, just as he has so many times in his two seasons with the Wildcats, Otega Oweh took over. Oweh finished with a game-high and career-high 29 points, but it wasn’t enough. Keshawn Murphy’s put-back jumper with just over a […]
Well, that was brutal to say the least. Kentucky Basketball’s game against the Auburn Tigers was a rollercoaster.

Kentucky at one point looked like it could run away with it early in the second half, but the Tigers battled […]
The Arizona Wildcats continue to battle both their opponents and themselves.

Notre Dame is on the brink of not making the ACC Tournament — that’s how bad the season has been. It got damn disastrous on Saturday with a 73-68 loss to the Pitt Panthers. Shrewsberry needs to be shown the door — this is too much. Late Irish Flurry Falls Short in 68-73 Loss at […]
