11/18/2025 Notre Dame players are less than thrilled with “The Bend” emblazoned on the front of their jerseys. I guess they should be happy it’s not on the front of their shorts. 11/14/2025 Two players on last year’s 3-28 Miss.Valley St team have been arrested for throwing games.  But they have a solid defense: We didn’t throw games; we simply suck. 11/11/2025 TCU’s Malick Diallo announced he’s going to be out for the season. He was then informed that’s not how it works, by t

11/16/2025 Hannah Hidalgo threw a party Wednesday night on her home court. She had a program record 44 points and an NCAA record 16 steals as her Irish trounced Akron, 85-58. However, the party ended abruptly on Saturday when Notre Dame was trounced, 93-54, by No. 14 Michigan in a nationally-televised tilt at Wayne State Fieldhouse in Detroit. Hidalgo followed up her magical performance with an ugly shooting day going 4 for 21 from the field including missing all eight attemp

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 w

11/16/2025 Kennesaw State Report Week 2 (Deadbeat Dad Edition) Huge game this weekend with South Florida, but I was faced with a moral conundrum.  My son Moses is a student at Kennesaw.  He’s named after Moses Malone, but he can’t stand basketball.   This is my court appointed weekend to spend time with him, but this is a critical game and I was not planning on missing it.  Usually I take him to the zoo, but South Florida plays really exciting up tempo basketball and I’ve bee

11/16/2025 Week two of the regular season is really just a continuation of that part of the season where if your squad is any good, you should be just padding your record until the conference games start.  Of course that is not what the Friars are doing, as once again they beat a team that I didn't know had a D1 basketball team (Penn) and followed it up by losing to a team that I've heard of, but still isn't very good (Colorado).  Stefan Vaaks won "Freshman of the Week" last

11/16/2025 The legendary rock band The Who said they are done touring. The last show of their “The Song Is Over–North American Farewell Tour” took place in October in Palm Springs. I think it was time. Roger Daltrey is 81 and Pete Townshend is 80. They should be home watching the second season of the revived  Matlock  series and eating toast. Alas, I find myself humming Who songs while thinking about the Illini team two weeks into the season.  I'm not trying to cause a big s-

11/16/2025 The Dayton Flyers bounced back from a loss to Cincinnati this week with a home win over Bethune-Cookman. Although if they hadn’t found a way to bounce back from shooting 7% from three against the Bearcats, I think the Flyers would lose their status as a Division I basketball team. The Flyers fell 74-62 to their southwest Ohio rivals in the third installment of this renewed annual rivalry.  The Dayton-Cincinnati matchup, which still lacks an official name, embarrass

11/9/2025 11/17/2025 Creighton lost to 13th ranked Gonzaga , then took out their anger on not ranked 13th MD Eastern Shore, which may or may not be a doctors office.  They pummeled them by 39 points 84-45.  Had Creighton simply arrived at halftime and played, they still would have scored enough to win (47 points). 11/9/2025 The Big East conference kicks off at season this weekend. The games can be seen on TNT, FS1, and Peacock. Yes , the league made TV deals with three differ

11/16/2025 Sam Brown has arrived! Wait, I apologize. Just like when I hired that caricature sculptor, I’m getting ahead of myself.  Davidson Men’s College Basketball is back and better than ever. I don’t mean that hyperbolically. The gentlemen are off to a flaming start: 4-0 with wins over DeSales, Washington State, Charlotte, and most recently, Bowling Green.  Speaking of flames, the basketball world has been burning recently. I am, of course, referencing the gambling scanda

11/16/2025 After last week’s New Orleans debacle, it does not take much to trigger flashbacks involving TCU basketball for me anymore. With 7 seconds left in the first half with the Frogs trailing to Lamar, I was preparing myself to see the Crying Jordan meme pasted on the TCU logo all over again.    Two Micah Robinson free throws and an entire second half later and my cardiac arrest chances finally dropped. The Frogs pulled away to move to 2-1 thanks to the frontcourt duo of
