2/7/2026 Kennesaw State Report Week 13: The “Endless Existential Ennui” Edition Basketball, like all things, comes in seasons—not just years, but seasons within seasons. Anyone who has dedicated a significant portion of their life to following the game knows the feeling. In November, everything shimmers. The season has begun; everyone is undefeated, and nothing is yet defined. The game is an endless wellspring of hope. Every year the college tip-off arrives, and I feel a burn

2/10/2026 There is a great episode of  The Twilight Zone  from 1961 titled “A Penny for Your Thoughts.” It stars a young Dick York of  Bewitched  fame as a bank clerk who buys a newspaper on his way to work. He flips a coin into the vendor’s coinbox, and it lands on its edge–da da dum! That one-in-a-million outcome leads to him gaining the power to hear other people’s thoughts. At work, he hears the thoughts of Smithers, an old trusted bank co-worker, who is thinking about ho

2/10/2026 For a country that couldn’t even agree on collectively viewing a half-time show, I believe there is one thing we can all agree on: That was one of the most disgusting football games we’ve ever seen.  In light of this crime against the sport of football, I want to share some crimes against the activity of football watching I had the displeasure of seeing tonight: I walked into my friend’s dorm for our Super Bowl watch party to find my friend Ethan surrounded by 15 of

2/10/2026 Well, if you were at Reed Arena on February 7, 2026, for the "Blackout" game, hopefully you enjoyed the darkness—because for the first ten minutes, the Texas A&M offense was effectively invisible. Here is a breakdown of the night the Aggies decided that putting a round ball into a 10-foot-high hoop was a suggestion, not a requirement. The Great Brick-A-Thon of 2026 Coming into the game, Texas A&M was the SEC’s top-scoring offense, averaging  92 points per game . App

2/10/2026 A white out? Oh boy, well it was sort of cool to see it. Not much goes well with a white out. The Winnipeg Jets, the origin of the white out in the 1987 playoffs have won a total of four playoff series in those 39 years. “It’s such a great atmosphere” you constantly hear; they always lose!! Penn State well they haven't done anything either since they started it. (Except to steal the ISU coach and all of its football players). The Cyclones did manage to defeat Baylor

2/8/2026 The UNCG Report Week 13: The “Something Is Happening Here and You Don’t Know What It Is, Do You, Mr. Jones?” Edition Is the tide finally turning for the Spartans? A week defined by a gritty win over Western Carolina and a stunning road upset at Furman suggests it might be. Neely’s Holds The Line Justin Neely practically lived at the free-throw line against the Catamounts, going 19-of-21 and sinking five clutch free throws in the final three seconds to seal an 81-78 v

2/6/2026 In League With Creighton Week 13: The “I Had No Choice But To Title It This” Edition By February, you are who you are in college basketball.  Maybe. Or maybe we don’t have any clue as to who we are and why we do the things we do. With tournament hopes fading and a lack of interior presence looming large (seriously...where did you all hide Owen Freeman?), I have moved onto more significant questions about the nature of the reality in which this Creighton season is loc

2/8/2026 Unlike last week, this weekend was even MORE freezing, hitting below zero tonight. My fingers are still defrosting while I type this sentence. But while America freezes, the A-10 rises like a burning phoenix as crunch time commences. After all, March looms ever-so dauntingly just weeks ahead. Let’s see who froze and heated up in a seven-game weekend slate.  Starting in North Carolina, Davidson picked up a big home win over the crumbling Loyola-Chicago, 84-64. Robert

2/10/2026 After defeating Davidson a couple of days ago, the Lady Bonnies are on a roll.  They defeated Duquesne in dramatic fashion 72-71.  The Lady Bonnies were trying to get a Grammy Award.  The first four quarters saw sixteen lead changes and numerous ties.  Laycee Drake stole the show and turned heads with the game winning jump shot with four seconds to go in overtime!  A back court violation got the Lady Bonnies the ball back.  Time out was called and the play was drawn

2/2/2026 The TCU basketball rollercoaster keeps on rollin’. This week, we go soaring down from last week’s high into a pit of depression and atrocious three-point shooting that would make Shaq look like a sharpshooter. The Frogs shot 24.5% from three this week. As it has been for most of the season, if this team can’t shoot, they have no shot. This rang true against Colorado, as their 33% shooting from the field led them right to an 87-61 blowout loss. Surprisingly, they had

2/8/2026 The Spiders had an away game at St. Louis and continue their "warm up" games before they take on the top 2 teams in the conference. A blow out would be an understatement, winning 92-44 and Coach put in all bench players. They also shot an impressive 50% from behind the 3 point line. They currently have a 19-4 record which is good for 3rd place in the A10. 2/1/2026 Cross town rivals met again for a Sunday dual, this time at the Siegel Center. Who said short players ca

2/2/2026 An open letter to the Davidson men’s basketball team: Dear distinguished gentlemen,  You have to stop. Seriously, guys. It’s not funny anymore, and in all honesty, it never was. The fact that you have all let this go on for as long as you have is a stain upon the college itself. Please, take the time to look in the mirror and ask yourself, ‘Would Mom be proud of what I’m doing?’ (That’s my routine anytime I make a tasteless joke in these columns; thankfully, I don’t
