Creighton went to Philadelphia this weekend to take on a very good St. Joseph's team. St. Joe's built a 12-point first half lead but the Bluejays were able to come back and make it a 5-point game at half. The 2nd half featured six lead changes, with the two most important occurring in the final 0:27 […]

We've all been on the edge of our seats watching Boston College basketball, right? Hello? Anyone? Was it something I said? Okay, so BC doesn't exactly have the greatest fanbase. Yes, their own bloggers

With Andrew Wiggins matching up against Jabari Parker, and Julius Randle going against Michigan State, all the of the media focus has been on just a small handful of freshmen. Wiggins, Parker, Randle, the rest of the Kentucky kids, and Arizona's Aaron Gordon have  been getting the majority of coverage. But there are plenty of […]

A Duke grad, he'll drop the Blue Devils severely if his underdrawers get in a bunch about something Duke related. He'll cast contrarian votes […]

If you weren't unfortunate enough to tune into the Seton Hall vs Niagara game on Fox Sports 2 this Saturday, you missed a game which featured 73 fouls and 102 free throws. By the time it was over, the game in the next time slot (Lamar vs Butler) was already at the under-8 timeout in […]

The 2nd […]

1. Duke The Blue Devils haven’t finished atop the regular season conference standings since 2009-10 – when they tied with Maryland – and haven’t won it outright since 2005-06. But in the last six years they’ve also never finished lower than 2nd. They’ve been the most consistent team in the ACC, and there’s no reason […]
