Wake and Miami Collide for 3rd Time in ACC opener

With selection Sunday for the NCAA tournament right around the corner, the Miami Hurricanes will need to have an impressive showing in the ACC conference tourney to get the attention of the voting committee. An 18-12 record isn’t very impressive, but what makes matters worse for the Canes is their 4-12 mark in conference play. It will take everything they have just to win their first round match-up over a Wake Forest Demon Deacons team that was ranked in the top 25 for much of the season. Miami... 

S. Florida Meets Georgetown in 2nd Round of Big East Tourney

After a convincing win against DePaul in the first round of the Big East tournament the South Florida Bulls will now have to face the 22nd ranked Georgetown Hoyas whom they beat rather easily back in early February. Georgetown has been inconsistent at best this season, and will need to bring their “A” game if they expect to take down this red-hot Bulls squad that has won 4 straight. South Florida’s style of play is similar to the Hoyas as they slow the pace of play on offense, and play solid... 

Horizon League Championship: Butler vs. Wright St.

The 12th ranked Butler Bulldogs look to win another Horizon League Title as they take on feisty Wright St. Raiders squad Tuesday night. Butler currently holds the longest winning streak in the country at 19 games with their last loss coming to Alabama-Birmingham back on December 22nd. Despite winning both games against the Raiders by 12 points during the regular season, it won’t be an easy task taking them down in the Championship game. Wright St. is much better than their record indicates. They... 

Baylor Takes on Texas in Last Game of Regular Season

The Texas Longhorns and Baylor Bears will face off in the last regular season game for both teams. Baylor beat Texas in an overtime thriller back in late January. These teams seem to be heading in different directions as the Longhorns have lost 7 of their last 13 games, while Baylor has come on strong to win 6 of their last 7. Despite the recent trends, Texas has the upper hand in this match-up due to their depth. They go 7 deep on offense, which gives them the ability to increase leads when the... 

NCAAB Rivalry: #5 Kansas St @ #2 Kansas

One of the most under-rated rivalries in college basketball takes place Wednesday night as the 2nd ranked Kansas Jayhawks host the Kansas St. Wildcats. The emergence of the Wildcats over the past few years has really put the edge back into this rivalry. Earlier this season, these 2 teams battled for 4o minutes and overtime as the Jayhawks squeaked out an 81-79 victory at Kansas St. With the Wildcats needing to win out to have any chance of taking the Big-12 title, and the Jayhawks looking to redeem... 

Georgetown Takes on W. Virginia is Big East Showdown

Despite having a 19-8 record, the Georgetown Hoyas are in desperate need of a few wins down the stretch to solidify a solid seeding for the NCAA tournament. The Big East is by far the best conference in the country, boasting 5 teams ranked in the top 16. The Hoyas are currently ranked 13th in the country, but are 5 games behind Syracuse in 7th position. The West Virginia Mountaineers have finally broke through under head coah Bob Huggins, but will still need to win out to have a seeding in the top... 

Big East Battle of Top 10’s Fight for Conference Title

The top 2 teams in the Big East fight for the conference title on Saturday. The Villanova Wildcats take on the Syracuse Orange in a battle of top 10 teams that are fighting for a top seeding in the NCAA tournament. Nova is fresh off of a blowout victory against S. Florida on Thursday. This win was much needed as they had lost 2 in a row to UCONN and Pittsburgh prior to that. The Wildcats are led by senior guard Scottie Reynolds who is having his best season with a 19 point per game average. Reynolds... 

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... 

Kansas looks to Wrap Up Big-12 Title vs. Oklahoma

It seems like the Kansas Jayhawks are at or near the top of the college basketball world every year. They once again find themselves as the #1 team in the country heading into the final 2 weeks of the season. A convincing 20 point blowout against the Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday has all but wrapped up the Big-12 conference regular season championship for Kansas. However, now they have to maintain their ranking in order to receive a top seed for the NCAA tournament from the selection committee....
