2/7/2026 Kennesaw State Report Week 13: The “Endless Existential Ennui” Edition Basketball, like all things, comes in seasons—not just years, but seasons within seasons. Anyone who has dedicated a significant portion of their life to following the game knows the feeling. In November, everything shimmers. The season has begun; everyone is undefeated, and nothing is yet defined. The game is an endless wellspring of hope. Every year the college tip-off arrives, and I feel a burn

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 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

2/8/2026 Unlike last week, this weekend was even MORE freezing, hitting below zero tonight. My fingers are still defrosting while I type this sentence. But while America freezes, the A-10 rises like a burning phoenix as crunch time commences. After all, March looms ever-so dauntingly just weeks ahead. Let’s see who froze and heated up in a seven-game weekend slate.  Starting in North Carolina, Davidson picked up a big home win over the crumbling Loyola-Chicago, 84-64. Robert

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

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
