It’s been an stagnant year for second-year coach Brian Gregory at Georgia Tech — wins over St. Mary’s and Virginia, but no real marquee wins — but he got some good news with the commitment of guard Travis Jorgenson on Monday night. The news came from multiple outlets. Travis Jorgenson just committed to Georgia Tech,…

Today, it was announced by Adidas that they’ll be unveiling a new type of jersey — well, depending on when you grew up, maybe old-school type — with a compression-sleeve alternate uniform that the Golden State Warriors will play in in the near future. You really should click that link to see these jerseys. The…

With just over a month until Selection Sunday, it’s time to take a look at the current NCAA bubble. It’s a bit crazy – especially with teams like Kentucky and North Carolina missing from “lock” status. We also have teams like Virginia - whose resume features quality wins, head-scratching losses, and a weak strength of schedule. How will the Selection Committee…

Rick Ray has had a rough season in his first as head coach at Mississippi State. A massive amount of transfers and players going pro, a rash of injuries and a late start on recruiting led to a general lack of talent within the Bulldogs’ program this season. And it got worse when the team…

Memphis guard depth just took a hit. Antonio Barton will be out 4-6 weeks with a hairline fracture in his right foot, the fifth metatarsal, to be exact, though it won’t require surgery. This is according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal. X-rays and an MRI revealed soft tissue damage to the foot. The injury and…

Game of the Night: No. 10 Kansas State at No. 14 Kansas (9:00 p.m. ET, ESPN) We may still be more than a month away from the start of March Madness, but it’s hard to imagine much more riding on a game than there is tonight in Lawrence. The Jayhawks are coming off of a…

You think the season’s been fun? It gets so much better this week
Feb 11, 2013, 1:59 PM EST
The excitement of the college basketball season reached a crescendo last week. It started with Tuesday’s classic between Ohio State and Michigan, which Michigan won in overtime only hours after Arkansas walloped then-No. 2 Florida. That happened to fall on the same night that Michael Snaer hit his third buzzer-beater of the season and Wichita…

Indiana remains No. 1 in new AP poll, falls to No. 2 in Coaches Poll
Feb 11, 2013, 12:42 PM EST
I cannot remember a single Monday morning where the topic of who would be the No. 1 team in the country was so wide-open. In a season where there is no “best” team, four of the top five from last week’s poll lost in the past seven days. Kansas lost twice. Duke had a chance…

Rodney Williams missed Sunday night’s game against Illinois, and it may have cost the Gophers a win. Illinois big man Tyler Griffey snapped out of a shooting slump on Thursday against Indiana, and continued his hot shooting by knocking down four threes and scoring 16 points as the Illini overcame a 10 minute stretch to…

Given the fact that Duke needed a 6-0 run in the final two minutes in Sunday night’s 62-61 win during a visit to Conte Forum to take on Boston College, the focus after the game was on whether or not this is a Duke team that should become the No. 1 team in the country.…

Five Thoughts: James Southerland, Louisville’s struggles, Vegas in March?
Feb 11, 2013, 10:58 AM EST
James Southerland’s impact: One of the reasons that the Syracuse offense bogged down while James Southerland was dealing with clearing up his academic issues was that they suddenly lacked perimeter shooting. The Orange don’t have much in the way of an interior presence offensively, which puts an emphasis on penetration for them, especially with a…

Team of the Week: The impact of good Tyler Griffey on Illinois
Feb 11, 2013, 10:03 AM EST
Team of the Week: Illinois Plenty of words have been written about the importance of this past week for Illinois. When you’re in the midst of a losing skid — the Illini had lost eight of their last 11 games — there really is no better way to snap yourself out of it than to…

Feb 11, 2013, 9:20 AM EST
Player of the Week: Jake Odum, Indiana State Jake Odum put Indiana State into serious contention for an at-large bid this week. On Wednesday, he put together one of his best games of the season, as he went for 22 points, five assists and four boards as the Sycamores walloped Creighton by 19 points. He…

What a weekend. Five overtimes, half-court buzzer-beaters, more overtime, Miami Heat-approved off-the-backboard dunks, bizarre finishes, and even more overtime. The only thing the weekend lacked was consistency. We’re just inside five weeks away from Selection Sunday, and I can think of roughly 15 teams that could win the National Championship and about 45 teams that…

Allen Crabbe and Justin Cobbs ensure Arizona won’t be No. 1
Feb 10, 2013, 9:38 PM EST
One of the fan bases that felt it had an argument for the top spot in the polls come Monday was that of the Arizona Wildcats. Given the chaos ahead of them and a 20-2 record that includes a win over No. 8 Miami (sans Reggie Johnson), why not the Wildcats? California guards Allen Crabbe…

Over the course of the last two weeks, No. 4 Duke had done a pretty good job of making everyone forget that they had gotten drubbed by 27 points at Miami and were playing without Ryan Kelly. They smacked Maryland at home. They smacked NC State at home. They whooped up on Florida State at…
