Hey, Purdue basketball is good again! A week ago we watched Purdue slog through an ugly home win against a very bad Oregon team in West Lafayette. It did not look good as the team prepared to head out on a two-game road trip. Nebraska was a top 10 team and Iowa had pushed Purdue […]
Around this time of the season in 1836, Antonio López de Santa Anna wore down the stalwarts in the mission, and prevailed over the locals in the Battle of the Alamo. Louisville’s 82-71 grind of a win on Saturday in the longhorn town of Fort Worth, if not nearly as significant or bloody, was similar […]
The Iowa Hawkeyes never had their footing in a 78-57 loss to the #9 Purdue Boilermakers. They finished just the game on 38% shooting and made just 6/22 from deep. They were just 9/18 on dunks/layups. Purdue once again shot the leather off the ball with the 12/30 from three underscoring just how big the […]
The Deacs are on a winning streak! After falling behind by as much as 9 in the 2nd half, Wake Forest battled back to take down the Cardinal and pickup their first home win since January 3rd. The win gives Wake their 2nd straight and moves them to 4-8 in the ACC, well within striking […]
Purdue’s bench sparked the Boilermakers fourth straight win and third straight on the road as it handles Iowa 78-57. Purdue got instant offense from its bench at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Saturday from Gicarri Harris. Harris knocked down a three to give Purdue a 7-5 lead four minutes into the game. Then he added an immediate […]

The Kentucky Wildcats fell to 17-8 on the season after they couldn’t climb back from an early double-digit deficit against the Florida Gators, ultimately falling 92-83. The Wildcats followed their game plan for the majority of the game, but one thing they failed to do throughout was stop the Gators’ sixth man, Urban Klavzar. A […]
Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann says he won’t close the door on Marc-Andre ter Stegen making his World Cup squad but admits it will be really difficult for the goalkeeper. Ter Stegen has been forced onto the sidelines after undergoing surgery on a torn hamstring. The injury occurred shortly after he left Barcelona for a loan […]
Number 17 ranked TCU Women’s Basketball picked up a huge win this Thursday on the road over number 12 ranked Baylor by a score of 83-67. Baylor was at the top of the Big 12 standings coming into the game and the Frogs drew within a half a game of first place with the win […]
The Louisville men’s basketball team celebrated Valentine’s Day with an impressive 82-71 win over Baylor Saturday afternoon in Fort Worth. The victory was the Cardinals’ fifth straight.

The long day at McKale Center started with College Gameday’s appearance, but the real action got underway with the Arizona-Arizona State women’s basketball game.

Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. Woof – talk about a major faceplant. See my X thread below: It is one thing to say you’re wasting the goodwill that you had vs. Clemson for the #Hokies with that road win – but it’s completely a different thing to for FSU to burn down … Continue reading »

Florida’s 3-point shooting and rebounding proved just a little bit too much for Kentucky Basketball to overcome Saturday afternoon, holding off multiple comeback attempts by the Wildcats in the second half and winning 92-83. The Gators made 10 3-pointers and out-rebounded Kentucky 44-37. Missed lay-ups, missed free throws. They’re still preventing this team from going […]

I’m not trying to make this out to be some kind of moral victory for Marquette women’s basketball on Saturday at the McGuire Center. Yes, they are the first team in the last 15 games for #1 UConn to keep the margin inside 30 points, as the 71-56 final in Milwaukee, is just 15 points. […]
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 […]
It was a rare week with no Kentucky Basketball, so it felt like an eternity waiting for the Cats to return to the court. The patience was rewarded with a Saturday afternoon monster matchup against the #14 Gators, with the top spot in the conference on the line. Several weeks ago, it would have been […]
Villanova has been tested over the last week against the bottom half of the Big East. The Wildcats traveled to Omaha on Saturday afternoon looking to get revenge from an early-season loss to the Blue Jays. While it was not a laugher, Villanova kept Creighton at arms’ length over the course of 40 minutes to […]
The Syracuse Orange are back in the win column, picking up their third Quadrant 2 victory of the year after storming back to beat the SMU Mustangs 79-78 at home Saturday. It took a couple of heroic performances, including the game-winning layup from Nate Kingz, to get to the finish line on top. That said, […]
The Kentucky Wildcats made it to the Round of 32 in Kenny Brooks’ first year at the helm. Brooks brought over superstar—and eventual No. 6 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft—Georgia Amoore from Virginia Tech, where he, Amoore and Elizabeth Kitley had made the 2023 Final Four. Amoore dazzled in her one year in Lexington […]
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – After nearly two and a half minutes of scoreless basketball in a one-point game, redshirt senior Nate Kingz decided it was time to put it away. The lefty drove into the lane, with just seconds remaining on the clock, and got a flip layup to go for the game-winning bucket. An ensuing […]
