College Hoops Updates - in Jokes - by Dave Barend
5/29/2026 The NCAA announced a potential “age based eligibility” model. The Big10 isn’t sure what’s meant by “age-based”. Whereas the SEC isn’t sure what’s meant by eligibility. 5/25/2026 Georgia’s basketball team just received a donation of $10 million. Wow. Now all Georgia has to do is get donations for its other 4 starters. 5/22/2026 LSU just signed a player who is not eligible. And if you are wondering how that is possible, then you are forgetting that the school is LSU.


Domination Rankings Of Everything
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, we decided to expand the Domination Rankings of college basketball a bit to include - everything. 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 can be found by going to our TikTok page - or, yeah, by just scrolling below. Always nice to have options though. Aga


5 Reasons Why Your Team Will Win The 2026 NCAA Tournament
Georgia Bulldogs The Bulldogs lead the nation in fast-break points, averaging 20 per game, essentially turning every possession into a track meet. Sophomore sensation Kanon Catchings is a human microwave, headlining an offense that ranks 5th nationally with 90 points per game. He might be catching(s) fire at the right time. Coach Mike White has the most boring name in all of college basketball but his teams are fantastic to watch. He led UGA to a program-record 22 regular-s


Iowa State Basketball Update - Humor and Haar
3/23/2026 Two minutes and seventeen seconds into a 2 versus 15 game Iowa State lost their best overall player for possibly the entire tournament. What a buzz kill right off the bat. The band-aid was put on in a 108-74 victory over Tennessee State. Joshua Jefferson has been on crutches and is on the bench and it's infuriating to see. Next up Kentucky, and we’d love to see all the blabbermouths who love to see a blueblood program advance eat crow if the Cyclones win without Jos


THE DOMINATION RANKINGS
Definition of Domination Rankings : the ranking of all categories of college basketball - women, men, wheelchair, D1, D2, D3, NAIA, JUCO . . . - together (based on record, average margin of victory [AMOV], and a super secret formula) by the arguably insane folks at College Basketball Times as part of our non-profit mission of equality. Make sense? Uh, not really Dave. Then take a look below and I think you'll get it. And you might even get a few laughs. You mean the rankings


Kennesaw State Basketball - Updates and Humor by Keith Spillett
3/15/2026 Kennesaw State Week 18: They Will Rise What does it mean to be the "little guy?" The forgotten one. The kid picked second-to-last for kickball games on the playground. Most of us have lived that moment. We watch the success of those around us and quietly recede into the background. While a fortunate few ascend to the big time, most of us remain minor characters in the world’s grand narrative. The sting, for many, is the realization that no matter the level of dedica

Davidson Men - Updates and More by Whit Henry
3/15/2026 Many people say, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” These people are losers. Comparison can absolutely be the giver of joy, provided you are winning the comparison. For instance, it was dreary, freezing, and snowing as I left Maine last week. This week, it was warm and sunny in North Carolina, and my afternoons were filled playing spikeball shirtless and getting a good tan. This experience was incredibly amplified by the comparison to the previous conditions up North


TCU Men’s Updates - with a Few Laughs from Mason deLisser
3/16/2026 It was conference tourney time, and TCU was finally in a good spot for it, heading in after being lumped in with the five teams ahead of them as the ones that could win it all. It felt nice to be included, but the win against an injured top-10 Texas Tech somewhat forced the media to come to this conclusion. Kind of like when Mom forces your older brother to let you hang out with his way cooler friends. Nevertheless, the Frogs had a strong first outing against Ok


Domination Rankings - D1 Men
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


Davidson Women Update with "Whit"
3/9/2026 This column has been killing me. It’s now Monday at 7:09 PM, and I was supposed to submit this to my boss on Sunday afternoon. I’ve tried numerous openings, given up my phone, and locked myself away in my room, but I just can’t write about the Davidson season ending. Every word hurts to type. My ow heart ow bleeds ow a ow little ow just ow explaining ow what ow happened. Anyone else out there nervous I was going to keep that up the entire article? My boss s


Illinois Latest - Facts and Funnies From Mike Hurley
3/13/2026 One of my favorite commercials is the GEICO commercial when Caleb the Camel strolls through an office asking people what day it is, knowing full well that it’s Wednesday. “Mike Mike Mike Mike MIke, what day is it Mike?” “Hump Dayyyyy!!!!!!!” Hilarity ensues. Illinois Coach Brad Underwood can relate. The hump is where he exists. Every single day is now “hump day” for him. Can he ever get over the hump, or will he be followed by the proverbial camel mocking him for


Texas A & M Basketball - Gig'em with Bo Swayze
3/13/2026 Last night’s SEC Tournament clash in Nashville was exactly what a house divided needs: a completely lopsided blowout that ensures at least one of you won't want to talk about sports until breakfast. While the Aggies had taken both regular-season matchups, the Sooners decided that "third time’s a charm" was more than just a cliché—it was a survival tactic. Here is a breakdown of the 83–63 Sooner "ass-whOUping" that has surely made your morning coffee taste a little m


Creighton Basketball Insights and Humor by Keith Spillett
3/8/2026 In League With Creighton Week 17: The “How The East Was Won” Edition Thanks to the Creighton security staff and a few overly exuberant fans, I spent most of this week recovering from the physical toll of daring to check myself into a game (see previous column). I’m halfway certain that Owen Freeman was one of the people who kicked me while my spleen was doing its best impression of a Gallagher prop, but since he didn't appear on the injury report with a broken toe, I


UNC-Greensboro Basketball - Learn and Laugh with Keith Spillett
3/10/2026 The UNC Greensboro Report Week 17: The “When It’s All Been Said and Done…” Edition It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. Some days felt like passing a kidney stone; others felt like walking on air. Sometimes they were the windshield, and sometimes they were the bug. But for better or worse, the UNC Greensboro men’s basketball team closed out the season on Sunday with a tough semi-final loss to Furman. From the outside, it probably looks like just anot


Richmond Women's Hoops - Spider Bites and Bits by Joe Cunningham
2/28/2026 The last game of the regular season has come and gone. Last but not least. Richmond needed this game to be in the at large bid conversation for the NCAA tournament. Maggie Doogan performed near her hometown at St.Joes and scored 35 points with 40 friends and family attending. The ladies won 72-61 and locked up a 3 seed in the A10 tournament. It's officially March Madness! 2/15/2026 The 2nd place Spiders continued their winning ways in what was considered a trap ga


Atlantic 10 Basketball Updates with Some Laughs from Colin Bish
3/1/2026 t’s here, ladies and gentlemen: March! The most wonderful time of the year, not named Christmas, has finally arrived, and as such most of the conferences are set to begin their tournaments. Not the A-10, however! We’ve got a little action from the past weekend before the eventual tournament extravaganza in Pittsburgh. A swift snowstorm delayed Rhode Island’s trip to Olean, pushing back the Wednesday contest against St. Bonaventure to Thursday. But the snow delayed t


St. Bonaventure Women Hoops Updates - with Humor by Heidi Cabral
2/3/2026 The Saint Bonaventure women defeated Fordham 77-69. The final game of the regular season proved to be a thriller. An even bigger thrill than the warmer weather....ok just kidding. In St. Bonaventure we take any decent weather as a sign of good things to come. Three lady Bonnies made it into double figures. The icing on Bonaventure's cake was eight points from the charity stripe. The Bonnies traded buckets most of the game, outrebounded the Rams and shot the lig


Notre Dame Women - Updates with the Wit of Rick Condon
2/16/2026 Notre Dame turned in a dominating performance Sunday afternoon at home against a good NC State team and walked away from the “Think Pink” game with a 79-67 win. Hannah Hidalgo continues to be one of the best players in the country and led a balanced attack with 19 points as the Irish never trailed. ND stands at 16-9 overall and 8-6 in conference play. With the NCAA tournament coming up fast, Notre Dame should be in decent position for a bid if they secure another co


Notre Dame Updates - and Some Levity from Rick Condon
2/16/2026 Notre Dame stopped a 5 game losing skid with an 89-74 win over Georgia Tech on Saturday in South Bend, IN. It was Valentine’s Day and I need to steal a line from the write up on the school’s website on the game. They led with “nothing but love and buckets from Cole Certa” (lol) who went off for 37 points including seven made three point shots. The Irish played without breakout freshman star, Jalen Haralson, who sprained his ankle in the previous game against SMU. BT
