Though eight of the Atlantic 10’s 14 programs didn’t actually play in a game between Monday and Friday, somehow, it was still a down week for the conference overall. As for the six teams that did actually play this week, Fordham and St. Bonaventure were the lone winners with the Rams beating FDU and the […]

Since the dawn of the portal era in NCAA Division I college sports, transfers have swung national titles, including in women’s college basketball. This year, there’s no indication that that will not continue to be the case. Players that chose to take their talents to new programs are making impacts that seem certain to influence […]
Name: Purdue University Location: West Lafayette, Indiana (which apparently is the most densely populated city in the state), conveniently located across the Wabash River from Lafayette, Indiana. Founded: 1869 Enrollment: 57,310 as of Fall 2025, with 43,067 undergraduates. FUN FACT: Purdue’s student body is 59% male this year, which I presume as a lot to do with the STEM […]

Ok, I haven’t been as vigilant about these updates as I’d like to have been. But ahead of the new year and ahead of conference play for the Tar Heels, it’s as good a time as any for a renewed commitment. Courtney Banghart’s UNC women’s basketball team has had an excellent start to the season, […]

A quick look at the 94-62 scoreline for No. 21 Ohio State women’s basketball team’s win over Northern Kentucky, and it looks about right. A 32-point victory for a power conference over a midmajor. Watch the game itself, and it was anything but comfortable. The Buckeyes had to claw themselves out of a hole of […]
As you can tell by the type of content we put out on Fear the Wall, we tend not to look too much into the quotes that players give to the media, but something that Bundesliga.com picked up from Nico Schlotterbeck actually seems quite interesting to me: “We could have moved onto 13 points today. […]
Indiana men’s basketball (8-2, 1-1 Big Ten) is set to take on Kentucky (6-4, 0-0 SEC) in a renewal of the annual rivalry series on Saturday evening at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky.

Indiana heads to Kentucky this Saturday for the first of a three game matchup that features a home game for each team and one neutral site game.

When Indiana and Kentucky announced that they’d be reviving a rivalry series, back in 2023, the teams were led by Mike Woodson and John Calipari, respectively. A lot has changed for both programs since then. For starters, the ground has even shifted for each program dramatically since the Week 4 AP men’s basketball rankings came […]
LIVERPOOL VS. BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION | Saturday, December 13th |Premier League | Anfield3PM GMT/10AM EST Fabian Hürzeler is under some pressure, with Brighton’s form a bit inexplicable this season: wins against Chelsea and Manchester City matched with draws with West Ham United, Wolves, Fulham, and Tottenham. Brighton look less imaginative than they have in […]
The Wisconsin Badgers had a humiliating 90-60 loss to the No. 23 Nebraska Cornhuskers on Wednesday in a game that was close through the first 15 minutes before the latter blew it open. Wisconsin really struggled defensively, and it felt like their effort was much lower than usual, as they had the worst loss of […]
Clemson Looking to Bounce Back after Two Difficult Losses “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” Those famous words from Charles Dickens sums up the last two outings for Clemson’s men’s basketball team who dropped two close quad 1 games to Alabama and BYU.

If you stayed up late to watch Syracuse Orange men’s basketball’s 71-63 win over Saint Joseph’s on Thursday night, you probably went to bed disappointed in the team’s performance. It was a remarkably unconvincing victory, with the lead never stretching past ten points, and even that didn’t come until the final minutes. Syracuse dropped back […]
Hello, all. We’re a little over a month into the college basketball season, and I thought it would be a good time to have a little bit of a check in with how the Ducks have looked thus far. After starting the season on a quick four game winning streak, the Ducks have gone on […]
Over in the Facebook comments on our recap of the Marquette men’s basketball loss to Wisconsin, reader Michael P. posed this question: Can this team be fixed this year? My gut reaction to that question was this: Step 1: Reversing the downward trend. I legitimately think they’re getting worse. So, obviously, that made my brain […]
It’s the end of another week here at Hammer and Rails with the Volleyball team advancing to the Elite Eight last night and the men’s basketball team preparing for a home game against Marquette this weekend.
