1/18/2026 The Kennesaw State Report Week -9 1/2: The “Other Than That Mrs. Lincoln, How Was the Play?” Edition Kennesaw State played two basketball games this week. I should probably lead with that. They won both. In any other week, that would be the headline. But this isn't any other week. Simeon Cottle—the star guard, preseason consensus Conference USA Player of the Year, and face of the program—now finds himself at the center of what appears to be the largest point-shaving

1/17/2026 Look, say what you will about George Washington basketball. Insult them for not being able to hit the broadside of a barn, as they put up 79 points on a whopping 72 shots. Laugh at them for forgetting the goal of a three-point shot is to make it, as they shot 28% from downtown (Davidson scored 2x more efficiently from deep!). Criticize them for allowing a struggling offensive team that averaged a meager 62 points in their last 3 games to put up 84 on their heads. La

1/19/2026 Basketball seasons can feel like a marathon, as they test the endurance of fans. For TCU fans, it’s all about enduring the pain and despair. Right now, it feels like I’m on the ground cramping up and crying in the fetal position halfway through the race.     The Frogs lost both games this week by a combined 9 points despite getting collectively outrebounded by 24 and shooting 28.5% from three. Another opportunity to beef up their reputation was blown against number

1/16/2026 Chicago State was up by 2 with the ball, with 0.1 seconds left and lost.  So how am I  supposed to come up with something funnier than that?  1/13/2026 Houston just won 16 games in a row for the first time. And those of you who are now wondering how many times they have won 17 in a row, well, maybe keep that to yourselves.  1/9/2026 A former Michigan State player was removed from the stands for verbally abusing the refs. He then apologized for distracting from Coach

1/19/2026 Code Red was the game theme, trying to get over 5000 fans in the Robin's Center. Goal achieved with 5,224, a record last achieved in 2001. CBS Sports Network showed up for this cross town rivalry. The Spider bench was emptied, except for 1 player that may be redshirting or injured. One college student was able to orchestrate the wave which was cool to see and participate in. Their opponent, the VCU Rams, were sent out grazing somewhere in the highlands, losing to th

1/19/2026 In case anyone was wondering basketball is not a twenty minute game.  I wish that players and coaches would just ask if they are not sure.  I can set them straight.  Sigh...grumble, grumble.  I can assure you it is a 40 minute game.  The Bonnies managed to go into halftime with the lead 34-27.  Unfortunately, they only played ten or so more minutes of the 3rd quarter and let the Lady Rams get too close for comfort and then take the lead. The stubborn  Rams went to t

1/18/2026 The UNCG Report Week 10: Running Amok in the Reagan Library Edition The Spartans opened the week with a home-court matchup against a 4-13 Citadel squad. The Citadel is a fine institution, but as a highly respected military academy, they are one of those puzzling programs that seems preoccupied with wasting time on trivialities like leadership development and academic excellence rather than making basketball the absolute center of their universe. Despite these mispla

1/18/2026 The ‘Cats started the SEC slate with a very rough first half vs ‘Bama, trailing by 16 at the break, and were unable to rally in a 15 point loss. Otega Oweh led UK with 22 points in 36 minutes. Jaland Lowe chipped in 21 off the bench but they were unable to get any help slowing down Aden Holloway and his 26 for the Crimson Tide. After the opening defeat at the hands of the Tide, UK still in search of some consistent performance and rotation, lost at home to Missouri

1/18/2026 Extra! Extra! "The Eyes of Texas" Are Currently Full of Tears AUSTIN, TX  — In a move that local scientists are calling "biologically impossible," the University of Texas Longhorns successfully managed to lose a basketball game on Saturday night despite having home-court advantage, a "prestige" zip code, and enough Burnt Orange hubris to power the entire Austin power grid for a month. The  Texas Aggies  marched into the Moody Center—a building designed to look like

1/18/2026 In League With Creighton (Week 10): The “In Creighton’s Struggle Against the World, Bet On The World” Edition  There is no quit in this Creighton team. That much is certain. They spent the week clawing back into two games that appeared to be going sideways, even managing to steal one of them. But while this week illustrated why this season is fun and inspiring, it also highlighted why the Jays likely won’t be bringing any hardware back to Omaha. The problem is simpl
