The Chris Walker saga is finally coming to an end. When he announced in July that he would attend Florida, rumors already abounded that he would perhaps not be eligible right away due to some academic concerns. True enough, Walker did not qualify academically and had to sit out the first semester. Finally, he was […]

I'm not sure they needed all those adjectives, but nonetheless Nike has introduced a new line of uniforms. The uniforms are designed to be a combination of past and future. The uniforms feature retro looks combined with some new age performance specifications. Normally when Nike (or Adidas) introduces special uniforms, they're disasters. See these abominations. […]

I don't really know why I care about the Wooden Award. That's not a great intro, obviously, but it's true. College basketball has multiple player of the year awards, and as a result doesn't have one with the cache of a Heisman or Hobey Baker award. Still, when the midseason watch list came out yesterday, […]

Iowa State started off the season 14-0, including wins over Michigan, Iowa, and Baylor. But after starting their conference season 2-0, they have dropped their last three Big 12 games. Why? And can they get the ship righted? Any discussion of Iowa State's struggles has to start with their play beyond the arc. The Cyclones […]

For wahetever reason, I have been thinking a lot about underrated players. Perhaps it is due to being hit over the head with talk of Wiggins, Parker, Smart, Randle, etc. There are dozens of candidates, covering mid major scoring savants, second bananas on top 10 teams, and underappreciated slow paced scorers. Here are my top […]

Lately, Maryland has had some awkward uniforms across all sports. Their red pride football uniforms were, well, something, and they debuted some really ugly yellow baseball uniforms. But their new basketball unis, which they'll wear tomorrow against Notre Dame, takes it to another level: The Heritage Uniform for tmrw's Whiteout vs. ND! The Terps […]

Colorado suffered a 71-54 defeat at Washington, a scoreline that looks shocking until you see the real reason why they lost: Colorado point guard Spencer Dinwiddie went down with a potentially serious knee injury against the Huskies. I won't speculate as to the severity of the injury, but needless to say if it's anything […]

Georgia coach Mark Fox tragically lost his father Raymond on Saturday after a long battle with lung disease. Then last night the Bulldogs, ranked 170h in KenPom, defeated Missouri in Columbia in overtime. Fox was so emotional in the waning seconds that he broke down on the bench. It was a great win for a […]

When Oklahoma State big man Michael Cobbins went down, it dealt a blow to an already thin Oklahoma State frontcourt. Without the big man, the Cowboys are forced to rely on Sophomore Kamari Murphy to do much of the dirty work down low, as he's the only Cowboy taller than 6'7". Offensively, Murphy could very […]

It's already been a long season for Southern Illinois. The Salukis are just 4-11, with only 3 of those wins coming against Division 1 competition. Head coach Barry Hinson also had a hilarious rant about his team's toughness, and, in much heavier news, lost a son-in-law late last month. Last night the Salukis had some […]

Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery has had his fair share of blow ups in the past, but he may have (OK, definitely) taken it too far in this one. McCaffery bumped an official in the Iowa-Wisconsin game tonight, causing him to get tossed, as well as most likely prompting a suspension. You can see video […]

2013 is over! We'll crown a new champion (probably) in 2014, but for now let's look back at a great year in college basketball: 1. Kevin Ware I won't post the injury (there are plenty of places you can find it) but when I think of the 2013 NCAA tournament, I am immediately thinking of […]

With December 23rd marking the high holiday of Festivus, I thought it would be nice to celebrate the near end of the nonconference season with some airings of grievances and feats of strength from around the college hoops world. And, in the spirit of Festivus, the negatives get to go first: Airing of Grievances: The […]
