11/25/2025 A BYU player was arrested for possession of pot. He has not been told if he’s going to play in  the next game. But he’s has been told that he’s going to hell. 11/23/2025 Michigan and USC voted against taking a $2.4 billion investment to fix the B1G’s financial issues. They claimed it would just provide a Band-Aid. Well, there’s some strong proof that we still have inflation. 11/18/2025 Notre Dame players are less than thrilled with “The Bend” emblazoned on the fron

11/23/2025 TL;DR    Friday night hoops - USC without the great JuJu (Watkins). Notre Dame with tons of (the good kind of) juju. Up and down the season goes. And we are only five games in. No. 24 Notre Dame bounced back from getting throttled last weekend by Michigan to stun No. 11 Southern Cal, 61-59, in South Bend. Hannah Hidalgo was the hero with 22 points including a clutch mid-range bucket with less than two seconds left. The defense was outstanding all night for the Iris

11/23/2025 Who are the Stonehill Skyhawks ? Yes it had to be looked up. The Cyclones defeated Stonehill 96-57 this past Monday at home. In reality theres a better chance that I see Stonehill this season than Iowa State. The Massachusetts mystery team plays in the NEC and will play at Monmouth, 2 doors down from here. This game was a snoozer, but learned a new team. Iowa State will face much tougher teams than Stonehill this week. Monday the Cyclones will face St. John's and t

11/23/2025 Thankfully my predictions about the Friars going 0-2 this week were incorrect.  PC was tied with UNH for most of the first half, even though the spread was -30.5 to PC.  The final score ended up 98-66, so if you don't think Vegas runs the sports world then I have a bridge to sell you.  The Friars headed back to Mohegan on Saturday to pull out a 12 point win against Penn State, where Stef "Lil' Luca" Vaaks led PC scorers with 15 coming off his "Freshman of the Week"

11/25/2025 It was a hot and steamy afternoon on July 11, 2016. The perfect day to teach my 9-year-old daughter a valuable life lesson.  “Dad, where are we going?” “Honey, I’m going to show you why this is the best day of the year.” After a few minutes, we arrived at our destination. She looked up at the glowing sign that consisted of orange and red “7” and the word “eleven” spelled out in green. And on this particular day, the store was bustling with excitement. We pushed our

11/23/2025 Before I begin my column responding to Davidson’s victory over Boston College, I would like to mention that BC is my editor’s alum and fellow writer Sadie Barend’s college, so I may temper my reaction to avoid upsetting anyone here at CBT. So with that in mind: ahem LET’SSSS GOOOOO WOOOO HOLY MOLY ME OH MY, THAT’S A WIN OVER A POWER FIVE SCHOOL! WE ARE SUCH A BETTER BASKETBALL SCHOOL THAN BC COULD EVER HOPE TO BE. SERIOUSLY, WHAT DOES THE BC STAND FOR? BASKETBALL C

11/22/2025 I’m starting a petition that states TCU should only play teams that I had no idea existed before the season started. Against these teams, they look like the reincarnation of the showtime Lakers, KD Warriors, or any superteam assembled by famous general manager LeBron James.  The Frogs took care of business against the Kansas City Roos (shoutout to extremely obscure mascots everywhere) to the tune of an 81-45 blowout to move to 3-2. 44% 3-point shooting and not suck

11/23/2025 Too early for clever commentary, so just the facts.   Kentucky had a split decision week with a drubbing at the hands of the Tom Izzo led Michigan State Spartans at the World’s Most Famous Arena, prior to delivering a beatdown to Loyola Maryland. With so many new faces and so much NIL money floating around, Coach Pope is still tinkering with rotations, etc. and will have the opportunity to continue to experiment, facing off with Tennessee Tech on the night before T

11/24/2025 🏀 Aggies Prove Once Again That Being an Aggie is Great, Even From a Distance (A Very, Very Cold Distance) By: An Aggie Who is Definitely Not Crying About the Montana Snow COLLEGE STATION, Texas (But I'm in Billings, Montana, and my 'yell' is currently just a whisper because the air is below freezing) — Well, another Friday night, another completely  shocking  blowout victory for the Texas A&M men's basketball team. Who could have possibly predicted that our plucky

11/23/2025 Duke on a Booze Cruise Duke began the week with a nice win over Kansas, 78-66, on Tuesday night at Duke’s home away from home, Madison Square Garden.  Both Cameron Boozer and Cayden Boozer had strong performances, with Cameron posting  18 points, 11 boards, 5 assists and 2 blocks and his twin brother Cayden adding 7 crucial points in the second half, including two layups when Kansas was making a run.  Duke overcame a slow start and wore down Kansas, who was without

11/24/2025 Those Lady Bonnie's had a rough start with The University of Albany.  The capital area team beat off the Bonnie's in the Reilly Center, 62-53. The Bonnies never led the game. The Bonnies fell victim to capital politics and took this one on the chin. This is not going to bode well for the upcoming seven game road stretch.  Coach Crowley didn't think his team played to their potential.  Here's hoping that this was just a hiccup on the way to greater things for this t

11/23/2025 A slow weekend in the Atlantic 10 kicked off with a remarkably slow game, as Davidson bested Boston College 59-49. Junior Josh Scovens led the Wildcats with 12 points as they look to remain undefeated against Utah State. As for Boston College, you couldn’t have scripted a worse start to the season, with the Eagles shooting 14% from three. Well, you could script worse; just ask the football team.   But, when all was said and done, the Atlantic 10 came out on top! Sa
