If you'd like to relive all of these great moments, let's do this. There were good and bad — could Kansas have looked more bored? — so let's go with the memorable ones. Wofford took to its school auditorium (cheerleaders dressed in uniform!) to celebrate. Cornell: Thrilled with a 12 while Temple is a little less than that with its terrible under-seeding. Saint Mary's: thrilled with the 10-seed. "Let's go!!!!!" from Richmond. ... Read More
Here’s every buzzer-beater Da’Sean Butler has made this season
Butler his six game-winners this season. He's the most clutch, clutchiest clutchster that ever clutched. The only video missing below is his shot to beat Notre Dame Friday night. Not yet available on the YouTube. Vs. Marquette in December Thursday vs. Cincinnati Last weekend against Villanova Against Cleveland State in December Last night to win the title. ... Read More
Goins’ groin shot on Cousins
I get the feeling SEC coaches have purposefully gone after Cousins to try and get him to snap. That's not to say I think Bruce Pearl directly told Goins, "Hey, if you get a chance, throw a fist into DeMarcus' crotch," but I don't think coaches have shied away from telling their team that he's a hot head who will crack if you give him reason to.
In case you missed it, Evan Turner’s game-winning 30-footer
Dunk of the Year? Heck, a Dunk of the Decade candidate from the Big West tournament
Another weak, only-verbal punishment, this time handed out by the WAC
The Magnus Miracle: epic shot and radio call on D3 buzzer-beater
The drama that unfolded in and after the Siena-Manhattan game
You almost never see a coach send his starters to the locker room before the end of the game. But Fran McCaffery did that last night. It's the second time he's done it, in fact. Siena defeated Manhattan 78-61 in the quarterfinals of the MAAC tournament yesterday, and the Saints head coach wanted to avoid any incidents in the post-game handshake line (perhaps the Steve Alford-Jonathan Tavernari incident was in the back ...

Jim Boylen nearly loses it with the local media
What's in the water in Utah right now? First we had Steve Alford going after Jonathan Tavernari, and now Utes head coach Jim Boylen has had enough with the local media. Hey, at least he's going after guys in his own demographic. To be fair to Boylen, his team is 14-15 and a sideshow compared to BYU and Utah State, both of whom will be participating in postseason play this March. The ... Read More
Brittney Griner, the most dominant player in women’s ball, ejected for throwing a punch
Yes, this is a college basketball site, not just for the men's game. Unfortunately, I'm not huge on the women's game because it's never been titillating to me. But every so often, for good or bad, something happens that warrants a post here. And it's also unfortunate that this kind of video is what puts women's basketball in the news. There is denying that the video below will make the 24-hour ... Read More
Welcome to the Dunk of the Year conversation, John Wall
Zaire Taylor’s buzzer-beating layup is painfully, happily ironic
March drama and buzzer-beater fever has already hit. I think you're OK with that, right? Mizzou locked itself up a bid to The Tournament (in my opinion) last night after needing some free basketball and some heroics from senior Zaire Taylor, who toured the court en route to hitting a running layup as time expired to knockout the Cyclones of Iowa State. The win put Missouri at 22-8 overall. It's clear ... Read More
CHJ exclusive video of Pitino, Kemba Walker, Samardo Samuels, Peyton Siva and Gavin Edwards
Video diary of my day in Storrs yesterday. First, Rick Pitino, who had three buttons undone but didn't realize he was giving us some chest sweat until the end of his press conference. Next, Peyton Siva, the future of the Louisville point guard position. I ask him about having to sit and wait his turn while Edgar Sosa got the call and the ball in the final minutes. Samardo Samuels is next. ... Read More
Steve Alford calling Jonathan Tavernari an a–hole
(UPDATE: The exchange is now being looked at by Mountain West officials. We could hear word by later today about what punishment Alford and Tavernari are looking at.) The rumors, they were true: Steve Alford did in fact call BYU player Jonathan Tavernari an asshole. There's just no excuse for this from Alford. Sorry, you can't do it. I don't care if the kid unloaded a double-barrel of middle fingers on ... Read More
Watch how Jimmy Butler saved Marquette’s season
Buzz Williams called the play to end regulation, but Marquette didn't execute. Then he called it with eight seconds remaining in overtime, and it failed again. But then the Butler took care of everything. The loose-ball chucks are one of my favorite kinds of buzzer-beaters because I like a little chaos in my life. You can't micro-manage everything, and it's OK to be lucky sometimes. Karma was on the side of the team ... Read More
WVU-UConn videos: Jim Calhoun calls Joe Lunardi ‘Lombardi’
Destiny: fulfilled thanks to Cliff Tucker’s lucky touch
What's lost from the immediate reaction to the video below: If Vasquez's shot would've counted, he really could've had an ace in the hole for ACC Player of the Year. That's a video that lives on forever. The end of the Georgia Tech-Maryland game from this afternoon is probably going to be the enduring highlight of the weekend. (Probably.) After an Iman Shumpert miss, Derrick Favors got a big offensive rebound and ... Read More
