2/15/2026 The UNCG Report Week 14: The “Return of The Living Dead” Edition Cotard’s Syndrome is a rare and bizarre neuropsychiatric disorder with roughly 200 confirmed cases worldwide. Because of the sheer strangeness of the condition, it is entirely possible there are thousands more that go unreported. Those who suffer from the disorder quite literally believe they are dead. They wander through life feeling invisible—a ghost, or worse, a walking corpse ignored by normal bein

2/15/2025 In League With Creighton Week 14: The “Digging Nik Graves” Edition Dear Nik, I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize for using my column—and my four hours a week of obsessive Creighton consumption—to turn your name into a four-letter word. It’s been a taxing season. When I haven’t been complaining about Owen Freeman’s season-long D.B. Cooper impersonation, I’ve been taking the brunt of my frustration out on you. I have sinned against you in various ways: I’ve

2/14/2026 Kennesaw State Basketball Report Week 14: The Problem of Socks and The Seasons That Never Were “Of all the sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are, what might have been.” — John Greenleaf Whittier  If you were anxious for a deep dive into Kennesaw State basketball, you are likely to be disappointed by the column that this isn't.  It’s mid-February, man. I love mid-major hoops, but as you probably discerned from my last piece, even I’m a little bit bored. They ju

2/15/2026 The 2nd place Spiders continued their winning ways in what was considered a trap game at Davidson. The last time they met, it went 3 OT's with Spidy cream rising to the top. The good guys won again, 65-43 with Doogan and Ullstrom combining for 42 points. It'll be no easier going forward as they'll face the 1st and 3rd ranked teams in the conference. They host an undefeated Rhode Island in a payback game they truly need. 2/12/2026 The Spiders got a scare from the Bon

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

2/15/2026 I must admit I did not get a lot of sleep last night. There’s a litany of reasons as to why, one of them being keeping up with college basketball, especially the A-10. After all, there’s no rest for the wicked, and the A-10 is as crazy as it gets.   The craziness began on Friday as the battle of the Georges commenced in Washington D.C., with George Washington coming out on top over George Mason at home. While close in the first half, the Revs broke out a 40-23 secon

2/10/2026 The SEC just made a distribution of over $1 billion to its universities. And if all goes according to plan, the the mid-major conferences will also be able to make a distribution - of Ramen Noodles. 2/6/2026 "Bidunga!” said a KU fan. “No. It’s Bazinga!” said Sheldon Cooper. 2/3/2026 Michigan’s Dusty May, said there’s no reason to call his team dirty. Though there seems to be clear reason to call him that. 1/30/2026 St. John’s played a video of Pitino’s career to cel

2/10/2026 There is a great episode of  The Twilight Zone  from 1961 titled “A Penny for Your Thoughts.” It stars a young Dick York of  Bewitched  fame as a bank clerk who buys a newspaper on his way to work. He flips a coin into the vendor’s coinbox, and it lands on its edge–da da dum! That one-in-a-million outcome leads to him gaining the power to hear other people’s thoughts. At work, he hears the thoughts of Smithers, an old trusted bank co-worker, who is thinking about ho

2/10/2026 For a country that couldn’t even agree on collectively viewing a half-time show, I believe there is one thing we can all agree on: That was one of the most disgusting football games we’ve ever seen.  In light of this crime against the sport of football, I want to share some crimes against the activity of football watching I had the displeasure of seeing tonight: I walked into my friend’s dorm for our Super Bowl watch party to find my friend Ethan surrounded by 15 of

2/10/2026 Well, if you were at Reed Arena on February 7, 2026, for the "Blackout" game, hopefully you enjoyed the darkness—because for the first ten minutes, the Texas A&M offense was effectively invisible. Here is a breakdown of the night the Aggies decided that putting a round ball into a 10-foot-high hoop was a suggestion, not a requirement. The Great Brick-A-Thon of 2026 Coming into the game, Texas A&M was the SEC’s top-scoring offense, averaging  92 points per game . App

2/10/2026 A white out? Oh boy, well it was sort of cool to see it. Not much goes well with a white out. The Winnipeg Jets, the origin of the white out in the 1987 playoffs have won a total of four playoff series in those 39 years. “It’s such a great atmosphere” you constantly hear; they always lose!! Penn State well they haven't done anything either since they started it. (Except to steal the ISU coach and all of its football players). The Cyclones did manage to defeat Baylor

2/10/2026 After defeating Davidson a couple of days ago, the Lady Bonnies are on a roll.  They defeated Duquesne in dramatic fashion 72-71.  The Lady Bonnies were trying to get a Grammy Award.  The first four quarters saw sixteen lead changes and numerous ties.  Laycee Drake stole the show and turned heads with the game winning jump shot with four seconds to go in overtime!  A back court violation got the Lady Bonnies the ball back.  Time out was called and the play was drawn

2/2/2026 The TCU basketball rollercoaster keeps on rollin’. This week, we go soaring down from last week’s high into a pit of depression and atrocious three-point shooting that would make Shaq look like a sharpshooter. The Frogs shot 24.5% from three this week. As it has been for most of the season, if this team can’t shoot, they have no shot. This rang true against Colorado, as their 33% shooting from the field led them right to an 87-61 blowout loss. Surprisingly, they had

2/2/2026 An open letter to the Davidson men’s basketball team: Dear distinguished gentlemen,  You have to stop. Seriously, guys. It’s not funny anymore, and in all honesty, it never was. The fact that you have all let this go on for as long as you have is a stain upon the college itself. Please, take the time to look in the mirror and ask yourself, ‘Would Mom be proud of what I’m doing?’ (That’s my routine anytime I make a tasteless joke in these columns; thankfully, I don’t

2/1/2026 I am sure everyone has noticed that there have been no PC updates recently.  It has taken a while to recover from the Friars first loss to UConn, where they had a commanding double-digit lead, then blew it in dramatic fashion.  As I watched I wondered to myself, even when they were up fifteen, how will they blow this?  Turns out one player decided to set up a wide open layup under the hoop and then steal the ball from his teammate, by accident,  and knock it out of b

2/1/2026 Tough week for Notre Dame with two losses bringing their season record to an even-steven 11-11. Tuesday night brought a heartbreaking double overtime home loss to nationally-ranked Virginia. which was followed by an 86-72 loss to Syracuse on Saturday in the JMA Dome. That game saw the Orange snap a 4 game losing streak. At halftime, there was an emotional ceremony honoring the life of ‘Cuse legend Lawrence “poetry in” Moten. Moten has the all time scoring record at S

2/1/2026 Notre Dame wrapped up a long weekend in Northern California with a win over Stanford that featured Hannah Hidalgo going off for 37 points in the 78-66 win. The victory was a rebound from their Thursday night loss to California 80-69. The Irish stand at 14-8 overall and 6-5 in ACC play. It has been a yo-you campaign so far for ND with no consistency and it is hard to tell if they are improving as a team. We will see if they can start stringing wins together and climb

1/22/2026 Duke pulled off two wins against Louisville and SMU, going down early in both games before regaining its composure and pulling out wins.  After trailing by 9 at the half, Duke came out swinging in the second half, outscoring Louisville 46-26 in the second half.  Duke clamped down on defense, and Caleb Foster had perhaps his best game at Duke, dominating on drives to the basket in the second half and scoring 20 points.  Cameron Boozer and Isiah Evans had strong offen

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

1/11/2026 The Catamounts improved to 2-0 in America East action this week with victories over New Hampshire and Binghamton. Next up is Maine. All eyes will be on Ace Flagg, Cooper's brother. When I watch this Maine team, mine eyes are fixed on the glory that is senior forward John Shea, who has been blessed with a strong chin and a head of hair as thick and mysterious as the Amazon. 11/15/2025 The Catamounts continued their winning ways this week by defeating Brown University
