What Do We Make of Texas?

At the start of the year, most people (myself included) thought Texas would be in big trouble. The Horns lost Julien Lewis, Jalen Bond and Sheldon McLellan to transfers, and Myck Kabongo to the NBA (well the NBA draft at least). Couple that with the fact that Texas already wasn't very good last year, and […]

When Will Grambling Win a Game?

Grambling went 0-28 under first year coach Joseph Price last year, and it hasn't been much better this year, as the Tigers have started out 0-4. However,

Alex Murphy (Probably) Transferring From Duke

According to a source at the Duke Chronicle, Duke Sophomore forward Alex Murphy is going to transfer at the end of the fall semester.

Fresh off a 5-1 start (DAMN YOU FLORIDA STATE) I am back to predict the remaining games in this year's ACC Big 10 challenge, where the Big 10 has some work to do if it wants to avoid ceding the challenge for the first time in 5 years. Maryland at Ohio State The Buckeyes have […]

Previewing and Predicting Tuesday’s ACC Big 10 Challenge Games

The current top 2 conferences in the land according to Ken Pomeroy's ratings will take each other on this week for the annual ACC-Big 10 challenge. Sidenote: this thing started when I was in middle school. I'm old. The ACC ran off wins in the first 10 challenges, but haven't had as much success lately […]

Andy Enfield: Professional Smack Talker

Recently Andy Enfield made the probably grave mistake of letting someone from Men's Journal tag along with him, but hey he just moved to LA and got a raise and life is good. Meanwhile, a couple of Enflield's quotes in the piece are causing a bit of a storm: This, about competing with UCLA and […]

Game of the Night; Game of the Night November 14, 2013

Game of the Night: Bucknell 90, Penn State 80 (67 possessions) After losing Mike Muscala, it was thought that Bucknell was going to have to go through a bit of a rebuilding year. But, while Penn State isn't a contender for the Big 10 title, any win from a Patriot League team over a Big […]

Final Four Predictions and All-American Teams

With the college basketball season upon us, it is time to finally start making some actual predictions, aka the things that cause college basketball fans everywhere to call writers morons. Michael Rogner will be handling some prediction stuff as well, but I wanted to get on record with my final four picks and my All-Americans. […]

KenPom Gets a Tweak

Of the many rating systems out there, Ken Pomeroy's is the widest known and my favorite. Now, the formula behind the ratings is getting a tweak or two. You can read the full explanation at Pomeroy's site, but a couple of main points: 1. Margin of victory is at least semi capped now. While in […]

ESPN Releases Andrew Wiggins Mixtape

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Z_xXKlVh9XU Andrew Wiggins might be the next victim of the ESPN hype machine, but he's getting ESPN (and Sports Illustrated. And GQ) to promote college hoops before they ever would in a normal year, so on balance I think everyone should be fine with the hype. I can't wait for the backlash of people calling […]

A Sleeper (or two) From Each BCS League

Michael Rogner sort of stole my thunder by looking at 5 teams underrated by the media, but today we are going to go one step deeper and give you a sleeper or two from every BCS (plus a couple others). Sleeper is, of course, a bit of a nebulous term. Does it mean a sleeper […]
