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 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

2/2/2026 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 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

1/30/2026 St. John’s played a video of Pitino’s career to celebrate his 900th win. I wish it had more from  his time at Louisville. Not because I’m a big fan of the Cards. But because I'm a big fan of strippers. 1/27/2026 The G-League is worried it will lose its fans if players keep leaving for college. A valid concern, should the  G-League ever get fans. 1/23/2026 The Feds released a surprisingly lengthy list of schools involved in a big betting scandal, Most surprising was

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

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
