2/22/2026 It’s so close. You can smell it in the air; hell, you can even feel it in your skin. March is oh so close, just a little over a week away, and the stakes have never been higher. While the top of the A-10 is set in stone, the middle of the pack is wide open.  The first game this past Friday took place between the A-10’s two best: VCU and Saint Louis. While the Rams led for most of the first half, the Billikens pulled through for an 88-75 win thanks to Kellen Thames’

2/22/2026 In League With Creighton, Week 15: “To Creighton, With Love” Edition I usually attempt to fill these columns with humor and obscenely obscure references. But in covering Creighton this season, it feels necessary to address the shadow that has hovered over this team all year. Normally, I steer clear of the human component of the game. It is easier to view players as nameless automatons, born solely to execute a high pick-and-roll. But that isn't what is happening on

2/16/2026 Notre Dame turned in a dominating performance Sunday afternoon at home against a good NC State team and walked away from the “Think Pink” game with a 79-67 win. Hannah Hidalgo continues to be one of the best players in the country and led a balanced attack with 19 points as the Irish never trailed. ND stands at 16-9 overall and 8-6 in conference play. With the NCAA tournament coming up fast, Notre Dame should be in decent position for a bid if they secure another co

2/16/2026 Another example of “can we take them seriously” as a contender. The Cyclones 62-55 loss at TCU dropped them to 21-3, which is a darn good record. Now, winning every contest is not realistic, however, losses at Cincinnati and TCU are maddening. Hopefully these two losses will not be weighed greater than wins over St. John's and at then #1 Purdue, Since the Purdue game, ISU really does not have a quality win. No margin of victory can be enough against Kansas. The Cycl

2/15/2026 The UNCG Report Week 14: The “Return of The Living Dead” Edition Cotard’s Syndrome is a rare and bizarre neuropsychiatric disorder with roughly 200 confirmed cases worldwide. Because of the sheer strangeness of the condition, it is entirely possible there are thousands more that go unreported. Those who suffer from the disorder quite literally believe they are dead. They wander through life feeling invisible—a ghost, or worse, a walking corpse ignored by normal bein

2/16/2026 Notre Dame stopped a 5 game losing skid with an 89-74 win over Georgia Tech on Saturday in South Bend, IN. It was Valentine’s Day and I need to steal a line from the write up on the school’s website on the game. They led with “nothing but love and buckets from Cole Certa” (lol) who went off for 37 points including seven made three point shots. The Irish played without breakout freshman star, Jalen Haralson, who sprained his ankle in the previous game against SMU. BT

2/14/2026 Kennesaw State Basketball Report Week 14: The Problem of Socks and The Seasons That Never Were “Of all the sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are, what might have been.” — John Greenleaf Whittier  If you were anxious for a deep dive into Kennesaw State basketball, you are likely to be disappointed by the column that this isn't.  It’s mid-February, man. I love mid-major hoops, but as you probably discerned from my last piece, even I’m a little bit bored. They ju

2/16/2026 Valentine’s Day is one of my least favorite traditions. It always seems to happen when you least expect it, slowly creeping up on you and then WHAM - it hits like a truck. You will casually open Instagram that dreaded morning and unexpectedly see everyone you have ever known happily in a relationship. While the holiday may claim to celebrate love, at its core, it’s just an excuse for the world to loudly mock all of us singles.  Though terrible, it’s not my least fav

2/15/2026 The 2nd place Spiders continued their winning ways in what was considered a trap game at Davidson. The last time they met, it went 3 OT's with Spidy cream rising to the top. The good guys won again, 65-43 with Doogan and Ullstrom combining for 42 points. It'll be no easier going forward as they'll face the 1st and 3rd ranked teams in the conference. They host an undefeated Rhode Island in a payback game they truly need. 2/12/2026 The Spiders got a scare from the Bon

We at College Basketball Times have decided to take our somewhat successful Domination Rankings concept (ranking together all categories: women, men, wheelchair, D1, D2, D3, NAIA, JUCO . . . .) and apply it to just D1 Men. Uh Dave, doesn't that seem to completely contrary to the purpose of the Domination Rankings and CBT's non-profit mission of equality? Well, we also decided to add a brand new purpose to our mission - providing something our readers actually ask for. So you

Definition of Domination Rankings : the ranking of all categories of college basketball - women, men, wheelchair, D1, D2, D3, NAIA, JUCO . . . - together (based on record, average margin of victory [AMOV], and a super secret formula) by the arguably insane folks at College Basketball Times as part of our non-profit mission of equality. Make sense? Uh, not really Dave. Then take a look below and I think you'll get it. And you might even get a few laughs. You mean the rankings

2/10/2026 The SEC just made a distribution of over $1 billion to its universities. And if all goes according to plan, the the mid-major conferences will also be able to make a distribution - of Ramen Noodles. 2/6/2026 "Bidunga!” said a KU fan. “No. It’s Bazinga!” said Sheldon Cooper. 2/3/2026 Michigan’s Dusty May, said there’s no reason to call his team dirty. Though there seems to be clear reason to call him that. 1/30/2026 St. John’s played a video of Pitino’s career to cel
