The first blog for the new season, and I felt like writing something both positive, and negative, depending on the parties reading. As of 15 minutes ago, when I started writing this, Kentucky came back after being down 9 at half to maybe the most talented team in the nation, the 9th ranked Duke Blue Devils, thanks to a high scoring offensive attack, headed up by the multitude of experienced…

One of the major themes going into this season is going to be the pressure on major programs throughout the year. Last year we saw it in doses, but there’s a ton of major programs that will have to do some serious adresssing at the end of the season, and some Coach’s who may be moving to new cities when it’s all said and done. There is no greater example of that then maybe the greatest college…

Last season, I wrote a blog diving into the problems with the Louisville basketball program, and coming to the conclusion that the problems were far larger than a bad coach, and was more related to the culture around the program, and the dark clouds left over from the end of the Pitino era. At the end of the season, Athletic Director Josh Heird decided the program needed to move in a different…

Last off-season, there was a lot of talk about Kansas being the best team after landing the best piece in the portal, Hunter Dickinson, and teaming him up with guys like Kevin McCullar, Dajuan Harris, and KJ Adams. Fast forward to the end of this past season, and I think its fair to say that the 2023-24 season of Kansas Jayhawk basketball, was a disappointment. 5th in the Big 12, going 10-8 in…

There has been a lot of things to take place in the history of college basketball. 16 seed beating a 1 seed, buzzer beater to win the national championship, double digit seed making the final four, and a repeat champion. But never has there been a school go on to win 3 straight national titles. But that may very well be subject to change. The Huskies of Connecticut basically destroyed everyone…

When my parents tell me about some of the best basketball teams when they were growing up, Georgetown is always brought up. John Thompson had built the Hoyas up to titanic levels in the 80s and 90s, landing top recruits like Patrick Ewing and Allen Iverson, and consistently winning 20-25 games in every regular season. Now it’s quite common that one coach is responsible for a program’s success.…

It seemed inevitable when the Huskies, despite a strong first half from Purdue, and not the best showing from the favorites, went into half with a 6 point lead. This was just pure dominance. After 40 minutes of maybe one of the most highly anticipated games in college basketball history, we were given our champion. The first champion to go back to back since the 2006-2007 Florida Gators. UConn’s…

It was no surprise when earlier this afternoon it was announced Eric Musselman, former head coach at Arkansas, had announced he was going to USC. The rumors basically began the moment Andy Enfield left for SMU job, it was just simply a matter of time until Miss actually took the job. What has kept most fans interested in this situation hasn’t been Musselman and USC, but the domino effect to take…
