When a basketball coach has more passion or fights harder for his team than the players do, you tend to lose a lot games. The Rebels have done just that. Losers of four in a row, Ole Miss is now 3-6 in SEC play. It won’t get any easier as the team is set to […]
Christian Laettner, Grayson Allen, Austin Rivers, and JJ Redick. This is a short list of some of the most hated Duke players of all time. Each player has a specific reason why they are hated by the Carolina fanbase, but on a micro level, we all probably have someone that we hold a personal grudge […]
The Syracuse Orange (19-4, 9-3) continued to handle business on Thursday night, securing its most dominant win in ACC play this season after soundly defeating the Boston College Eagles (4-21, 0-12) 93-59 in Chestnut Hill. It was an expected result for the Orange considering BC entered this contest with no conference wins and a 16-game […]
Author’s Note: I meant to post this before the second half tipped off on Thursday night, but my wifi crashed on Wednesday night, so I had to delay until I fixed that mess. Apologies, but cut me some slack — I only spend a million hours per year on this stupid low-major league. We’re at […]

The Nittany Lions hit the road for the last time before the NCAA tournament in Cleveland, this time taking on the Wolverines in their school’s basketball arena (which they’re hoping to “light up”). A few years ago, when the current Penn State streak was in its infancy, Michigan was the team best poised to take […]
RIVERDALE, N.Y. – The 2025-26 academic year will likely be the last that the MAAC will be known by the four-letter acronym that has been its identity for all 46 years of its existence. In an interview with Mid-Major Madness at the Saint Peter’s-Manhattan men’s basketball game on Thursday night, conference Commissioner Travis Tellitocci gave […]
Kentucky basketball ran Oklahoma out of Rupp Arena on Wednesday night, 94-78. The game was never really close and several Wildcats played extremely well — including former Oklahoma State big man Brandon Garrison. The second-year Wildcat and third-year player had by far his best game of the season, scoring 20 points and grabbing 11 rebounds […]
Maryland women’s basketball’s road trip got off to an ideal start when it upset Michigan State on the road, ending a four-game losing streak. The Terps will try and turn that into a winning streak in Lincoln when they visit Nebraska on Saturday afternoon. The game will tip at 2 p.m. EST and be broadcast […]
Entering Thursday night’s game against Ohio State, Maryland men’s basketball had lost its previous two games by 43 and 30 points, respectively. Against the Buckeyes, the Terps only lost by 20 points — in theory, a slight improvement. But by and large, this was one of Maryland’s more frustrating games of the season. It had […]
I need to start with a confession: at the beginning of this season, I wasn’t a Baylor Scheierman believer. Not because he wasn’t good, but more that he was hard for me to place. He wasn’t jumping off the screen in any obvious way, and he didn’t dominate one skill the way some of the […]
Will Stein and the Kentucky Wildcats have momentum on the recruiting trail as they look to make some noise on the trail for the 2027 class. Luckily for the Cats and their new staff, the in-state class has quite a bit of top-end talent to help build a solid foundation. After a commitment from Brady […]
One of the better Duke-UNC games, at least from Duke’s point of view, came on February 28th, 1998, when Carolina visited Cameron. UNC was ranked #3 and Duke #1, but the Tar Heels took a 12-point lead into halftime before stretching it out to 17 after the break. But Duke wasn’t giving up. It had […]
This group’s offensive firepower and chemistry have been off the charts thus far. This has arguably been one of the most exciting seasons in the program’s rich history. This year’s team has loads of talent, versatility, unselfishness, and no shortage of fun personalities. Their impressive play on the court has been extremely fun to watch, […]
When 7th year 25 year olds are mocking 5th year 23 year olds… we’ve jumped the shark on eligibility. The main driver for NCAA related news these days seems to be lawsuits brought about to challenge eligibility rules. Since as long as I can remember the standard 5 years to play 4 seasons has been […]
One of the core players from Kentucky’s first team in the Mark Pope era has agreed to a contract with the team that drafted him. Amari Williams, who had a triple-double against Ole Miss last season, has agreed to a two-year, $2.7 million deal with the Boston Celtics. Williams was drafted 46th overall in the […]
In today’s world of college athletics it is all about the money. Especially with revenue sharing now in the picture, schools are trying to figure out how they can continue to compete for championships across multiple sports without crippling the rest of them. It is a fine line that athletic departments are now having to […]

The Centre County District Attorney's office in Pennsylvania said today that it was dropped the felony charge against Penn State forward Gavin McKenna...
Duke’s incredible win streak is now at 14 with a thrilling 59-58 road win over #6 Louisville. Duke led for much of the game before Louisville tied it up at 46-46 and then hit a three to push out in front, 49-46. The Blue Devils pushed back out in front by 6 but the Cardinals […]
This game was hyped on social media all week. The battle of the two unbeaten ACC teams. The Yum Center was packed. Unfortunately in the first quarter it appeared only the Duke players got the memo that this was a huge game. The Blue Devils came out and smacked the Cards in the mouth and […]
Ahead of Super Bowl Sunday’s afternoon showdown against No. 2 Michigan, the Ohio State men’s basketball team traveled to the Xfinity Center in College Park to take on the Maryland Terrapins and secured a 82-62 win. The Xfinity Center has been a house of horrors for the Buckeyes before this contest, as they entered the […]
Grace Sullivan’s pregame 1,000 career-point recognition did little to inspire Northwestern women’s basketball (8-15, 2-10 BIG) as it fell to USC (14-9, 6-6 BIG) 83-65. The Trojans took control of the game from the tip and never looked back, with Northwestern’s only lead coming at 4-2 in the first. Sullivan scored 24 points on 10-17 […]
After a media timeout with 10 minutes left and down 13 points, Maryland men’s basketball needed a comeback on its home floor to Ohio State — a team that entered Thursday night with a 4-5 record away from home. Out of the timeout, the Terps clearly ran a drawn-up Buzz Williams set, one that found […]
