Arizona began November in thrilling fashion, beating defending NCAA champion Florida in Las Vegas to open the 2025-26 season. Since then it has also beaten UCLA in Los Angeles and won at UConn. The Wildcats (6-0) have climbed to No. 2 in the Associated Press poll, but it wouldn’t be shocking to see them drop […]
After a close first half, an offensive explosion from Mizzou women’s basketball secured the 73-66 win over Bradley in its first game at the Fort Myers Tip-Off. Both offenses struggled early, as the Tigers led 30-27 at halftime. Mizzou pulled away in the second half, however, with 43 points, and leading by as much as […]

The no. 5 UConn men’s basketball team held off no. 13 Illinois, 74-61, to improve to 6-1 on the young season. It’s UConn’s second top-25 win this month, and it was done by shutting off the Illini from three as Brad Underwood’s men shot 6-of-29 (20.7%) from three. The Huskies also won the rebounding margin […]
That was a much-needed bounce back. The Wisconsin Badgers responded to their first loss of the season with a resounding 104-83 win over the Providence Friars in the first round of the Rady Children’s Invitational in San Diego. With the win, Wisconsin advanced to the championship game, where they take on the TCU Horned Frogs […]
The Purdue Boilermakers dominated following a bit of a sluggish start to a 109-62 dismantling of the the Panthers from Eastern Illinois. In front of another sold out crowd inside Mackey Arena, the Boilers ran another near perfect example of offensive efficiency. Let’s jump into this victory in more detail by going ‘By the Numbers.’ […]
It wasn’t pretty, but the Deacs moved to 6-2 after taking down the Northeastern Huskies by a score of 86-73. The first half was definitely not the Wake Forest team we have come to expect this season. That is sort of expected since it is the day after Thanksgiving, but the Deacs just seemed kind […]
Jake Diebler and his staff have been very firm over the last year — they want to schedule good teams at home, even if that means they need to go play at that team’s house, too. The Buckeyes thought they had a pretty strong home-and-home lined up with Pitt last year, but so far this […]
Last week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans where Josh Hines-Allen ranks among the team’s all-time greats. Over half of respondents say he’s between the 6th-to-20th best player in franchise history, and a quarter of respondents say he should be inducted into the exclusive Pride of the Jaguars one day. Top comments from last week’s post: […]

The Duke Basketball Roundup is breathing a huge sigh of relief after the Blue Devils took down a spirited and extremely talented Arkansas club in a Thanksgiving night matchup that was non-stop thrills. As Jason and Donald tell us, this was more than just the Cameron Boozer show as Duke’s Player of the Year candidate […]
Iowa State’s defense showed up yet again last weekend making Jalon Daniels pay for making us look silly last year. The defense forced KU to try and win through the air while applying pressure to keep Daniels uncomfortable. This week will be a rinse and repeat for them. Iowa State I’m going to go ahead […]
If you’re a Carolina fan, I sincerely hope the Tar Heels’ 74-58 loss to Michigan State was the most unpleasant part of your Thanksgiving, and I also hope you agree that Henri Veesaar had the best game of anyone wearing a UNC jersey. The strongest evidence of Veesaar’s impact on this matchup may have been […]
Purdue’s Rebounding continues to shine At one point in the first half, Purdue had 9 turnovers and was still winning the possession battle. That’s because it had an 18-3 edge on the glass. That advantage was stretched even further when Oscar Cluff gobbled up two more offensive rebounds on back to back possessions to start […]

The opening chapter to the […]
Maui Invitational Results 1-2 NC State was favored by some to win the tournament, and they were favored in all three games.

Based on the Thanksgiving Day KenPom snapshot, Texas (KP 39) […]
It was a good Thanksgiving for us MSU fans as our basketball team carved up North Carolina. And hopefully our hockey team can complete the sweep over Colgate later today. And speaking of those two teams, here are the results of the two survey questions we asked you this week. In a fairly close vote, […]
It was quite the tale of two halves for Northwestern basketball on Turkey Day. Playing some hoops after dark a-la-the former Pac-12 (coming back to television screens near you soon), Northwestern faced off against Oklahoma State on Thanksgiving looking for a chance to pick up a win against some its last valuable non-conference competition left. […]
With 4:34 remaining in Wednesday’s matchup between Ohio State women’s basketball and the West Virginia Mountaineers, the Buckeyes odds of winning took a dive. Point guard Jaloni Cambridge fouled out and went to the bench. West Virginia held an eight-point lead and the top scorer this season for the Buckeyes, the team’s vocal on and […]
At noon, Vanderbilt goes for the championship of the Battle 4 Atlantis, and gets a rematch of last season’s NCAA Tournament first-round game.

This is the first time of the 2025-26 season that Vanderbilt will […]

The Kentucky Wildcats defeated Tennessee Tech in their pre-Thanksgiving matchup by a final score of 104-54. The Wildcats got a big game from one of their sophomore guards, Harlan native Trent Noah.
