Indiana reportedly is pulling the plug on its series with Kentucky after the Wildcats refused to go home and home with them, instead preferring to play on a neutral floor. Eeehhh! Wrong answer. Full take »

If Virginia Tech felt one NCAA Tournament appearance in 9 years wasn’t good enough and they wanted to whack Seth Greenberg, that’s fine. But if AD Jim Weaver knew he was going to do it, why did he wait until the end of April to pull the trigger. And if he made that decision, why didn’t he...Full take »

Wisconsin hoops coach Bo Ryan took a beating this week for trying to squeeze Jarrod Uthoff on his transfer request. Stunned and bent that he wanted out; Ryan told him the entire Big Ten, ACC, Iowa St. and Marquette were on the restricted list. But after taking a pounding, Ryan caved and said...Full take »

After revealing last August she had early onset Alzheimer's, we all knew Pat Summitt would ultimately step down as head coach of the Lady Vols. But it didn't make yesterday's announcement any easier. Still, she made it with her typical class and dignity and you know she'll attack this challenge...Full take »

That was wasn’t so much a press conference as it was an infomercial Kentucky held yesterday. It felt like a paid advertisement for the big blue nation. John Calipari may as well have been up there with ginsu knives instead of gamers. Slap chops instead of lottery picks. And don’t get this...Full take »

Why is everyone killing SMU for hiring the 71 year old Larry Brown. You do know we’re talking about SMU, right. Not North Carolina, or Duke or Kentucky. SMU: a beaten down program, that’s had one 20 win season since 1993. No one who was anyone wanted the job; they should be glad Larry Brown...Full take »

Least surprising news ever: five underclassmen off UK’s National Championship squad are holding a press conference in about an hour, presumably to announce they’re going pro. Have to. If you’re holding a lottery ticket, you’d be stupid not to cash it. Otherwise you might lose it or...Full take »

No one in college basketball was under more pressure to deliver a strong recruiting class than UCLA’s Ben Howland. The Bruins have missed the NCAA Tourney two of the last three years, and Sports Illustrated lit Howland up recently, intimating he had lost control of the program. Well, now that...Full take »

Florida International University basketball players walked out of their year ending banquet to show their support for recently fired head coach Isiah Thomas. Touching, but if you really wanted to show your support for him, you would have played harder for him. 8-21 last year and 26-65 over three...Full take »

There you go again Baylor. Just last week, I was giving you credit for being the center of the sporting universe. And owning up to the fact that I cracked on you, telling you to stay in your own lane while your conference realigned. And yes, I did say you had a Big 12 lifestyle with a Conference...Full take »

Now that John Calipari has won his NCAA title and has nothing left to prove in the college ranks, is he headed back to the NBA? I don’t see it. Only way he leaves is if he finds a gig where he can win immediately, and have total control and unlimited spending. In short, a perfect situation....Full take »

I’m not a huge women’s basketball honk, but I don’t care who you are, or what sport you play, you go 40-0, and win a National Championship like Baylor just did, you’ll get some run in this segment. And if you have a problem with Brittney Griner, you have a problem with yourself. Full take »

And I can’t believe I’m about to say this but…the center of the sports world is Central Texas. Yeah I said it. And I said it because Baylor U is killing it. Look, there was a time when you thought of Baylor, you thought Big 12 tomato can. A warm up game for Texas or OU. I remember that...Full take »

Anthony Davis is a freak. He’s the only cat I know who could have his worst offensive effort to date, yet dominate the same game completely. Think Bill Self would have taken Davis shooting 1-10 from the field before that game? Sure, but not if he knew the guy would finish with 16 boards, 6...Full take »

If you were looking for John Calipari to jump on the scorer’s table and scream ‘how do you like me now’, you’re begging. This guy will never give you want you want. Nor was he going to abandon his script: “This is not about me. This is about these 13 players. This is about the Big Blue...Full take »

Although he won’t cop to it, this is one John Calipari absolutely has to have. Just like he absolutely had to have his Final Four match up with Louisville. Of course, when I suggested that to him in our sit down for CBS, he swatted it into the tenth row saying, “It’s just a game. It’s...Full take »
