It’s another Sunday morning and another Sunday feeling demoralized about a Kentucky Football performance. Kentucky’s offense showed some life yesterday, finally scoring more than two touchdowns against a power conference opponent. Cutter Boley played really well and looks like the type of quarterback this program could build around. But Kentucky had a pair of devastating […]

It was easy to forget that it was only a late October preseason game inside Madison Square Garden on Saturday night. St. John’s and Michigan scrapped and clawed like it was a Sweet Sixteen game in March for forty minutes plus an extra period. The Red Storm had plenty of chances to secure a confidence-boosting […]
BUFFALO, N.Y. — On the shores of Lake Erie, the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball season tipped off with an exhibition win over Buffalo, 76-66.

We’re already seeing that Brad Underwood has confidence in his true freshmen this year with Brandon Lee and Keaton Wagler. So it’s no shock that BU keeps hitting the high school ranks for prospects, even in the era of the transfer portal. In a social media post on Friday, four-star guard Lucas Morillo committed to […]
Today is the only game that matters. Our Spartans have lost three straight in the rivalry, and there has been a high level of drama involved in those – everything from cheating scandals to post game fights. Today’s game is at 7:30 and will air on NBC and Peacock. If ever there was a game […]
Today’s UNC game could have easily been a blowout with Virginia coming in ranked as the 16th best team in the nation and Carolina riding a three-game losing streak. The game was anything but a blowout, but it also never felt like either of the teams really wanted to win the game. Each side left […]
Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd and his coaching staff have the Wildcats in the mix as finalists for one of the top high school players in the nation.
