Kentucky Looks for Revenge Against S. Carolina

The Kentucky Wildcats escaped with a hard fought 58-56 win Saturday against a tough Vanderbilt Commodores squad. That win allowed them to keep pace with the Kansas Jayhawks in a fight for the #1 ranking. While the win at Vanderbilt was a true sign of how gritty this Wildcat team is, it will be even more impressive if they can maintain their focus against the mediocre South Carolina Gamecocks. Generally, most teams have trouble keeping their intensity at a high level after a big win. Kentucky is clearly... 

Purdue @ Minnesota: Big-10 Wednesday Preview

The Purdue Boilermakers suddenly find themselves ranked #3 in the country. They have slowly crept back up the top-25 after 3 consecutive losses midway through the season. A relatively difficult non-conference schedule gives this team the credibility that they may not have received due to the lack of strength in the Big-10 conference this season. Regardless of their record, the Minnesota Gophers have a gritty squad, and are capable of beating anyone on their home floor. Purdue better not be looking... 

Kobe Returns to Lakers Tuesday Night

Despite all of their injuries this season including missing Kobe Bryant for the last 5 games, the Los Angeles Lakers find themselves just a half game back of the Cleveland Cavaliers for home court advantage throughout the playoffs. Kobe has been sidelined with an ankle injury since prior to the All-Star game. He said Monday that he still doesn’t have all the strength back in it, but it’s healthy enough to play on. The Lakers may very well need Kobe Tuesday night as they face a young and fast...

Spartans and Buckeyes Meet in Big-10 Battle

The Ohio St Buckeyes may be the hottest team in the Big Ten conference. Since losing 3 out of their first 4 game to start conference play, they have responded by going 9-1 over their last 10. Sunday morning they will take on the Michigan St Spartans who are one of the 2 teams that OSU is chasing for the Big-10 regular season title. One of the reasons for the Buckeyes success thus far has been the outstanding play of junior sensation Evan Turner. Turner was out with an injury for Ohio St’s first...

Currently, the Kentucky Wildcats have a 1 game lead over the Vanderbilt Commodores, but that may all change as they square off Saturday at 6pm ET.

However, Jamison is scheduled to make his first start on Friday versus the Bobcats. Playing the Cavs in their first game with Jamison... 

Hokies and Demon Deacons Fight to Keep Pace in ACC

Syracuse Orange v. Louisville Cardinals: Sunday College Hoops

The Syracuse Orange are having one of their best seasons since their Championship year with Carmelo Anthony. Having a 24-1 record in any conference is considered amazing, but doing it in the Big East is nothing short of spectacular.
