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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
