Alabama led by as many as 21 points in the first half Saturday, but the Kentucky Wildcats should get some credit for scrapping their way back to make it a nine-point game on two occasions in the second half before falling by a final score of 89-74. This Alabama team was really good coming into […]
The Kentucky Wildcats took the floor in Tuscaloosa on Saturday, looking to extend their four-game winning streak with an upset road victory against a top-15 Alabama team. Coached by the crafty Nate Oats, #14 Alabama always presents a unique challenge for an opposing defense, and this season will be no different. The Crimson Tide’s attack […]
Alabama’s basketball team did its level best to make Tide fans forget about the football debacle by whipping Kentucky at Coleman Coliseum today by a score of 89-74.

UNC is just moments away from playing their first ACC true road game of the season against SMU. This is the first time that these two teams have faced off in conference play in the state of Texas, which is something that is still an adjustment for my ACC purest brain to compute. Regardless, this […]

Vanderbilt got through its nonconference schedule with a 13-0 record, and as of now they have four Quad 1 wins over Saint Mary’s, SMU, Wake Forest, and UCF. Today… does not represent an opportunity to add to that total. Those will come later in SEC play, but Vanderbilt’s SEC opener is at South Carolina, who’s […]
A first look at the new team.
Last Sunday, it took a bit for the Wildcats to knock off the rust following a week off to rest over Christmas break, but Kansas State prevailed against the visiting Warhawks of ULM to improve to 9-4 on the season and finish the roller-coaster non-con slate on a four game win streak. Now, after another […]
It is time to revive an annual tradition, one that goes back many generations, and decide on nicknames for our Michigan State Spartans Basketball Team. I know we are coming off an upsetting loss last night, but let’s not let that cloud our thought process and remember this is still a very good team. Okay, […]
This post is brought to you by FanDuel, proud partner of SBNation. Mountain West gets a D for bowl games. A poor 2-5 showing in bowl games and a few surprising bowlouts made this not great for the Mountain West. The majority of fans gave teh conference a D for their efforts, although many gave a […]

Your Oregon Ducks traveled east on Friday night to take on the Maryland Terrapins, looking to capture their first conference win of the season. Oregon came out sharp on both ends of the floor, building a quick 15-8 lead. The Terps would make a couple of pushes, but every time they did, the Ducks had […]
A double reversal of a four point play by Cal to tie up the game against Notre Dame with a few seconds left in the game, had Micah Shrewsberry erupting like a volcano once the game was finally over. The official result will read; Cal 72, Notre Dame 71 — but perhaps a referee count […]
Any scouting report Missouri assembled ahead of Braggin’ Rights could have made a reasonable tradeoff: quarantine the lane and force Illinois to scratch out a living from long range. Coming in, the Illini’s shooting clip off the catch lagged behind the national average, and Brad Underwood’s squad had only shot better than 35 percent twice […]

Looking at Carolina’s ACC schedule, I’m not sure there’s anything that would have better fit the blah vibes that always hang over the early days of January than a road trip to SMU. That isn’t meant to be dismissive of the matchup. As our own Akil Guruparan broke down yesterday, SMU is a solid team […]
