On the heels of what was a pretty big undressing in the New York Times last week, Bobby Gonzalez has been let go from Seton Hall. Gonzalez's Pirates lost convincingly at home last night in the first round of the NIT, 87-69 to middling Texas Tech. Seton Hall was (shockingly) still in the bubble conversation a week ago today. In last night's game he picked up his seventh technical foul of ... Read More

Who's next? SWAC? MEAC? How about the Big Sky? Something tells me it's just not quite big enough. Reasons for why the MWC has no choice to do this are inside.

Anthony Johnson had a game that transcended March drama, and it came late on a Wednesday night and wasn't an NCAA Tournament performance. That alone should tell you just how special and significant Montana's Johnson's 66-65 comeback against Weber State last night. The Grizzlies got an automatic bid thanks to Johnson scoring two-thirds of the team's points last night. It was an epic comeback, one that had the Twitter world buzzing as ... Read More

According to the Oregonian, Ernie Kent gathered the troops around his lap yesterday and told the team he'd be leaving at season's end.

The D-grade, 16-team postseason tournament won't be having Michigan as a participant so long as John Beilein is coaching the team.

Well, this is a welcomed action. Some stones from the brass in the Big East with news coming out of New York that two of the officials who botched the end of the Louisville-West Virginia game won't be at the Garden in a week and a half. I, of course, take all the credit. Nah, I really don't, but before we get into the details of the "benching" or "suspension," if ... Read More

Most sports fans realize those three words are always followed by another two: season over.

The ongoing circus/drama/showcase at Kentucky continues. It's been a remarkable season, one that seems book-worthy whether this team wins a title or not. We can't get through seven days without a story about this team that's doesn't pertain to winning or losing. The latest non-on-the-court news comes from NBADraft.net's Aran Smith, who got an interesting quote from a scout that chose (naturally) to remain anonymous. The quote was picked up by ... Read More

If you're on Twitter and follow anyone that writes about college basketball, then you know about what I'm going to link to. But I figured I had to make a post about this because it's simply a FREAKING GOLD MINE. A college hoops lover's sopping wet dream. And I've got a few friends who read the site and aren't on the tweet machine, so they'll appreciate this. Do I wax poetic ... Read More

WTIC is got the tip first, and the school just put out a press release to confirm: Jim Calhoun is back and angrier happier than ever. Calhoun was away from the team for seven games, in which UConn had a 3-4 record. But with Tournament hopes fading each day, the 67-year-old coach will put associate head coach George Blaney back on the bench and try to get this team back into the ... Read More

—We have a clear view of the student's face. Can we get some punishment, please? Why is this allowed? I love a good, mean-spirited chant or sign, but racism is sickening. Props to DC Sports Bog and Mister Irrelevant for the screen capture. Vasquez spoke about the sign after the game. "They were calling me Mexican when I'm Venezuelan." —The 11 finalists for the best guard in the nation have been ... Read More

Jeff Goodman has just broken this story, which seems like something so filled with meta it couldn't be true. The Los Angeles Clippers want Isiah Thomas to take over their organization. Rumors are now beginning to swirl that Thomas could abandon his proud, padlocked post at Florida International for NBA waters — if he wanted to. According to a source close to the situation, the Clippers have reached out to Thomas -- who ... Read More

The drama seems to have come to a definitive end in Minneapolis. And I am not talking about Brett Favre.

It's a topic that I won't spend much time on, really. The reality of court-storming is a sad one; the innocence of it left us, oh, I'd say about five years ago. And when high school students are teaching themselves and learning to ride without the training wheels on, I think darker days are ahead. Here's the appropriately named Justin Huckins answering one game-winning shot for another on Tuesday night. His school, ... Read More

I'll be on the road a bit today as I am heading up to cover Texas-UConn, so I'll try and get as much on the site throughout the day and night as I can — if there's enough newsworthy things going on. Expect plenty of coverage tomorrow, though. Hope you like the return of the ads and the other small tweaks at the site. Please help me eat food and click ... Read More

Some shock jock got wind of the time and number during this afternoon's Big East conference call. Naturally, Jim Calhoun got the brunt of the questioning.

So says this site, an Ohio State blog powered by the Columbus Post-Dispatch. Turner, who had a terrible-looking fall against Eastern Michigan at the beginning of December, was expected to miss approximately two months. But just more than four weeks into the rehabilitation process, it's a good possibility Turner will have a chance at getting his sea legs back against the Hoosiers on Wednesday. Evan Turner will be available to play against Indiana ... Read More

The crux: African boys are being tempted with false dreams of playing big-time basketball. The success rate — from a college graduation perspective alone — of flying these "recruits" to American shores isn't on the rise. But few people pay attention to the failed attempts. Yes, you know about Manute Bol, Hasheem Thabeet and Dikembe Mutombo. But you don't know of hundreds of other players who have been deported back to ... Read More
