Welcome back, ACC. We missed you. Sort of.

Weird things have happened to Arizona in Salt Lake City in recent years. In 2022, an unbeaten Wildcats squad fresh off a dominant performance at the Maui Invitational laid an egg against Utah, and two years later the UA needed triple overtime to get past the Utes. No such drama this time around. Top-ranked Arizona […]

After back-to-back losses to ranked conference opponents, the Husker women look to right the ship when hosting the Purdue Boilermakers.

The TCU Horned Frogs hosted a high-powered Baylor Bears squad for their first game of a challenging Big 12 conference slate.

The 73-66 loss to St. John’s on December 29th was run-of-the-mill interesting as far as basketball goes, as Marquette missed 14 layups in the game. Four in were in the fourth quarter, all of which were when the Golden Eagles were within a possession. If […]
