12/5/2025 Charles Barkley and Dickie V are calling the 12/13 IU v UK game. I’m guessing it will be both turrible and awesome, baby. 11/30/2025 Working on a song for Purdue. Here's what I have so far: “My center has a first name. It’s O-S-C-A-R. My guard has a second name. It’s M-A-Y-E-R." 11/27/2025 ESPN Headline: Houston Lands Diane. Yet the article had no comment from Sam Malone. 11/25/2025 A BYU player was arrested for possession of pot. He has not been told if he’s going

12/7/2025 In League With Creighton Week 5:  Team From an Imaginary Western After Creighton’ 20-point-win against Nicholls State on Tuesday night, I had an idea for an absolute corker of a column.  They had a big in-state rivalry game against Nebraska on Sunday night and I was feeling good about their chances.  Sure, they only beat a winless team from the Southland Conference by 20 points, but Nicholls was a scrappy bunch who has hung in most of their games this year without a

12/7/2025 🤠 Aggies' Hoops Hype XL: From Arlington Rally to Vegas Rodeo! Well, howdy, Aggie faithful! You could cut the tension at College Park Center with a dull butter knife yesterday as the Texas A&M men's basketball team faced off against the SMU Mustangs in the "Hoop Hype XL" showdown. And when I say "showdown," I mean a proper, white-knuckle, "grab-yer-hat-and-hold-on-tight" kind of affair! The first half? Let's just say it was about as fun as a root canal without the l

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

12/7/2025 Good Week for Duke Duke began the week with a hard fought, 1-point win over defending national champion Florida, 67-66.  Cameron Boozer continued his strong play, scoring 29 points to lead Duke.  Patrick Ngongba also turned in a strong performance, scoring 11 points along with 5 boards, 5 assists and 5 blocks – an impressive all-around game.  Although Duke did a good job of limiting Florida big-man Alex Condon, Duke could not stop Florida’s Thomas Hough, who scored

12/7/2025 In what was one of the most impressive wins, if not the most impressive of this 25-26 season, Iowa State hung a 23 point burger on #1 Purdue at West Lafayette Saturday afternoon 81-58. As for Saturday, apologies for getting this wrong in last week's issue for mentioning it was a Sunday Tilt. Additionally Saturday at 12:00? Seriously, at the same time as the Big 12 championship game. Now of course Iowa State was not involved in that; but what if they were like last s

12/7/2025 You may not know the name Jason Bradley DeFord, but my guess is you know him by his stage name–Jelly Roll. During the Illini’s only game this week, against a 13th-ranked Tennessee at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, the broadcast team was joined by the Tennessee native and country music star. Instead of giving the play-by-play, the announcers peppered Jelly Roll with questions for several minutes in the first half, and the singer didn’t disappoint. He talked abou

12/7/2025 12/7/2025 I cleaned my room today (See, Mom, I can be responsible on my own.)  Which of these five items was not lying astray in my room (the answer is at the bottom of the column): 40 individual pieces of uncooked pasta spread across a table A slip dress with numerous pictures of Sigmund Freud safety-pinned on A caseless CD of Pink Floyd’s The Wall  Three separate socks that had mysteriously lost their matching pair  An unopened bag of carrots sitting in my fridge

12/7/2025 TCU basketball giveth and TCU basketball taketh (my good mood away). After riding high after a tournament win in San Diego over 2 tournament-level teams, they dropped a hard-fought battle against Notre Dame, 87-85 in overtime. An emphasis is definitely placed on hard-fought, as it shocked me to see a game between Christian private schools look like a WWE cage match. Getting bullied in this street fight sunk the Frogs, as they got outrebounded by 8. The perimeter def

12/5/2025 Mixed emotion week for the Kentucky faithful……on one hand, the University decided to FINALLY move on from Mark Stoops as the head man in the football offices, after 13 years at the helm lacking any form of creativity on offense, akin to a blindfolded man searching for an exit; only to have the Big Blue Nation get beat midweek by the hated Tar Heels, followed by being run out of the gym at Rupp South by Gonzaga, on Friday Night in NashVegas by 35 points, the worst UK
