1. Junior Kyle Fuller entered the season having never scored in double figures, and he averaged 1.9 points as a freshman and 0.9 as a sophomore. After his career high 25 point outburst againt Xavier he's now up to 13.3 as a junior. He still shoots way too many 3s for a guy who doesn't […]

There are few things on a basketball court more frustrating than turnovers. Passes thrown out of bounds. Travels. Charges. Steals. They all have coaches pulling their hair out (just look at Leonard Hamilton). But not all turnovers are created equally. And I'm not talking about live-ball vs dead-ball turnovers, though the former often lead to […]

Last year the Florida Gators had one of the best offenses in the nation (3rd), scoring a strength adjusted 1.21 points per possession (PPP), which was the second most under Billy Donovan. But defensively they struggled. They were 71st nationally, and 8th in conference-only games. They ended up getting knocked out of the Elite 8 […]

Most of the time you don't even notice when players turn the ball over and then loaf back on defense. But it happens. Constantly. So it is noticable when a freshman turns the ball over and then recovers to do this, AND to not spend any time celebrating his ridiculous athletic move, but rather, he's […]

Today, Chicago State announced its move to the in-constant-state-of-flux Western Athletics Conference. Cal-State Bakersfield, Utah Valley, Grand Canyon University, and UTPA are also joining in 2013 when Louisiana Tech, UT-San Antonio, San Jose State, Utah State, Texas State, Texas-Arlington and Denver (oi!) depart. Great day to be a Chi State Cougar! Proud new members of the […]

When Brian Gregory took over the Yellow Jackets he inherited a bad team, he stepped into a program saddled with debt, and during his first season his team wouldn’t have an arena. That team went 11-20, and when it was over he cut ties with his most talented player – Glen Rice Jr. Fast forward […]

If you tune in to a Florida State home game which doesn't feature Duke, North Carolina, Florida, or some other major opponent, you'll see lots of empty seats. Part of this is due to poor planning by the athletic department (students get crappy seats, football boosters who don't go to games get great seats), and […]

Listening to announcers reminiscing this year you'd think Anthony Davis had been the best shot blocker in the past decade. But the reality is that he wasn't even the best shot blocker last season. The best shot blocker didn't play for UK, he played for KU. Jeff Withey blocked 15.3% of the shots when he […]

As a reminder to those who are inevitable going to spam my twitter account with outrage that your guy isn't on this list – this has nothing to do with who I think are the top freshmen in the nation. It's all based on what they've done on the court, to date. And no, one […]

1. This was a game largely decided at the line. Mercer made 19-23 (82.6%) free throws while Florida State made 16-26 (61.5%). Both teams entered the game making over 70% of their attempts, the difference being that FSU was one of the best in the nation at getting to the line (52nd) while Mercer was […]

There's no love lost between Clemson and South Carolina. So Gamecock fans couldn't have enjoyed watching this move by Devin Booker on their home court.

First, there's 6-0 tall Cashmere Wright's fadeaway over 7-0 Moussa Gueye. Then there's the Cincinnati bench coaches trying to restrain players. And finally, an epic Mick Cronin eye roll when the refs tell him they're reviewing the shot. So much goodness in this video.
