As women’s college basketball continues to grow and develop, so do the incoming freshman classes. Recently, players like Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers and JuJu Watkins have been able to come into the space and immediately make an impact. While no player from the 2025-26 freshman class has that level of hype, things can […]
Good morning BBN! It has been fairly quiet for most of the recruits in the class of 2026, as Mark Pope and his staff still look to land their first commitment in the class. With plenty of buzz surrounding several of the top players in the class, it appears that two targets are going to […]
Being the son of a legendary athlete is really difficult. Your odds of being better than your father are not great and you will forever be compared to him. Look how many guys come up short: Scottie Pippen, Jr. Both of Michael Jordan’s sons. Perhaps most notoriously, Bronny James, who many feel is on the […]
Like a lot of teams, Michigan State had its fair share of turnover. And like a lot of other teams of its ilk — blue-chip programs — it brought in a ton of talent to compensate...
Another Illinois basketball season begins on Sunday with a preseason scrimmage against Illinois State. One guy who almost certainly won’t feature is Andrej Stojakovic, a former McDonald’s All-American and son of three-time NBA All-Star Peja Stojakovic.

Greetings BBN! With the new college basketball season arriving, we wanted to get your take on the biggest question mark for the Kentucky Wildcats. Of course, injuries are the big talking point right now after Jaland Lowe went down with a shoulder injury, while Otega Oweh recently had a toe injury that cost him about […]
It’s getting uncomfortably warm for Mark Stoops in Lexington. Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde ranked Stoops among the college football coaches most in trouble this season, describing his seat as “the surface of Venus” hot. Like many, Forde noted that Stoops’ massive buyout, reportedly around $38 million, could complicate any potential move. It’s a steep figure […]

Tottenham Hotspur’s prospects for a win on Wednesday night are probably looking pretty good right now. They’ll travel to AS Monaco, who have just really looked very good, so far in the UEFA Champions League. And while yes, Spurs will indeed be very injury-riddled when they make the trip to the Principality, they still bring […] The post Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Starting XI at AS Monaco appeared first on The Sports Bank .

Hey, you know what I missed? The release of the Associated Press preseason top 25 poll for women’s college basketball. I saw that the men’s poll was out last week and just kinda presumed that they would wait a week and put out the women’s poll a week later because why not, give them their […]

Last season provided a picture-perfect ending for UConn and Paige Bueckers. The super senior won the title that had eluded her during her entire collegiate career, allowing her to celebrate on the floor with head coach Geno Auriemma, who now has 12 NCAA national championships. Regardless of how historic last season’s achievement was, it is […]

When last season started, we thought that Pat Ngongba might redshirt. He was third on the depth chart behind Khaman Maluach and Maliq Brown, and he was coming off of a high school injury. And in high school, he had to work hard to lose a significant amount of weight. Redshirting seemed like a real […]

Choosing to believe in any kind of different outcome than one that has preceded not once, not twice, but three times before in exactly the same fashion may not be considered a rule of insanity. But we might be getting close. Last season Mississippi State finished 8-10 in conference play. The season before they finished […]

The 2025-2026 Alabama Crimson Tide basketball season is almost upon us, and it’s fair to say that this is a transitional season, though not a team that finds itself completely rebuilding. Long-time stalwarts like Mark Sears and Grant Nelson have moved on, and the Portal claimed some quality players that are a better fit elsewhere […]
