3/13/2026 One of my favorite commercials is the GEICO commercial when Caleb the Camel strolls through an office asking people what day it is, knowing full well that it’s Wednesday.  “Mike Mike Mike Mike MIke, what day is it Mike?” “Hump Dayyyyy!!!!!!!” Hilarity ensues.  Illinois Coach Brad Underwood can relate. The hump is where he exists. Every single day is now “hump day” for him. Can he ever get over the hump, or will he be followed by the proverbial camel mocking him for

3/13/2026 Last night’s SEC Tournament clash in Nashville was exactly what a house divided needs: a completely lopsided blowout that ensures at least one of you won't want to talk about sports until breakfast. While the Aggies had taken both regular-season matchups, the Sooners decided that "third time’s a charm" was more than just a cliché—it was a survival tactic. Here is a breakdown of the 83–63 Sooner "ass-whOUping" that has surely made your morning coffee taste a little m

3/8/2026 The Kennesaw State Report Week 17: The “R-O-C-K in Conference USA” Edition A season that once felt destined for a Gordon Lightfoot-style tragedy—a painful dirge reminiscent of "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"—has suddenly become an ocean of possibility.   Captain and Coach Antoine Pettway has righted the ship, and as the Owls sail into Huntsville, they carry a legitimate chance to pull off one of the more remarkable mid-season turnarounds in recent memory. Huntsv

3/8/2026 The last week has come and gone, and I have way more hope than I usually do this time of year. Apparently, so does the rest of the TCU basketball community, as one of my friends told me we could beat Houston right now. I still think the only thing we beat them in is the least amount of devastating national championship losses in the last 11 months.    It was no Houston, but the Frogs got out to a blistering start by toppling number 10 Texas Tech. As it’s been all yea

3/8/2026 Two straight losses vs Texas Tech and Arizona have probably finished off any chance at a #2 seed for Iowa State. The Cyclones took an incredible butt whooping at Arizona this past Monday after its lone home loss of the year against the Red Raiders. Down by 12 at the break this was no contest with a 73-57 Wildcat victory. Five guys from the YMCA would keep a road game closer against these Big 12 contenders. An embarrassing effort away from Hilton this season losing si

3/8/2026 In League With Creighton Week 17: The “How The East Was Won” Edition Thanks to the Creighton security staff and a few overly exuberant fans, I spent most of this week recovering from the physical toll of daring to check myself into a game (see previous column). I’m halfway certain that Owen Freeman was one of the people who kicked me while my spleen was doing its best impression of a Gallagher prop, but since he didn't appear on the injury report with a broken toe, I

3/10/2026 The UNC Greensboro Report Week 17: The “When It’s All Been Said and Done…” Edition It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. Some days felt like passing a kidney stone; others felt like walking on air. Sometimes they were the windshield, and sometimes they were the bug. But for better or worse, the UNC Greensboro men’s basketball team closed out the season on Sunday with a tough semi-final loss to Furman. From the outside, it probably looks like just anot

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

3/2/2026 Tony Bennett left Virginia and is now with LA. But we all know that’s not where his heart is.  2/28/2026 Headline: "No More Tinkle at Oregon State.” Well, they might want to get their prostates checked. 2/24/2026 Just in case you are one of the few who have yet to find something to complain about college hoops, I give you this: Duke is ranked #1. 2/21/2026 UCLA’s coach shocked everyone by ejecting his own player from a game. Though I’m guessing it would have been an

3/2/2026 As of mere hours ago, my foolish and naive younger self was lamenting the lack of days in February. This grumbling was preceded by the realization that 28th isn’t followed by the 29th and so forth, but instead by the 1st, which means it's already March. Suddenly, things are due way sooner than I thought, and now, I have three essays to write and a midterm to prepare for, and I sti - STOP. Sweet mother of Mallorica, IT’S MARCH.  Thunderous applause, joyous sobbing, a

DOMINATION RANKINGS OF EVERYTHING If you'd like to be one of our voters, just click here: VOTE Uh, Dave, what are we voting for. Well, as you know, College Basketball Times created the Domination Rankings - of college basketball. (Come on, let me assume you knew that.) Anyway, we decided to expand things a bit to include, well, everything together. The result: essentially a satire on all rankings. Here's how it works - sort of: Our voters come up with a weekly Top 25 which
