12/19/2025 The start of the season has been a little bit surprising considering that eight of the thirteen players on Penn State are first year freshman.    After defeating four "internet schools" along with other schools that are somewhat known in non-conference play and finishing 8-1, they opened Big Ten play with an embarrassing loss to Indiana. However, Mike Rhoades and his Nittany Lion squad responded with a very close game against #9 nationally ranked Michigan State, fa

12/19/2025 The reigning USCAA Division Two Small College national runner ups are having an up and down season. Schuylkill is starting the year at 5-7 as they conclude the 2025 portion of the season.    After starting the season with two wins, they lost six in a row, including to Division 2 squad Kutztown University, which has a better football team than basketball. After that skid, they won three of their final four to go into winter break.     Amir Gray has been the highligh

12/19/2025 The Lady Lions opened the season 2-0. Then they fell into a skid, losing five games in a row. After that they won two of their last five, including one of the wins being a forfeit.    Not a lot of big-time stats for the Lady Lions, but Serena Jones has 11.4 points per game and 6.2 rebounds per game. Another solid player is Ava Novak who is behind Jones in points per game with 9.1 and she also has 7.7 rebounds per game. Jones and Novak are the top two free throw sho

12/19/2025 Non-conference play has been a roller coaster journey to say the least. After winning six of nine games, they lose by 40 to third ranked South Carolina. When playing a team with that high of a caliber, what do you expect to happen?    Kiyomi McMiller and Gracie Merkle have been carrying the Lady Lions through a solid start to the season.    This weekend, the Lady Lions will play two games. They play VCU on Saturday, and Richmond on Sunday. After that, they enter Bi

11/30/2025 There’s something amiss in Dayton’s kitchen. Head Coach Anthony Grant earned his Michelin Star in 2020 with a top-5 Flyer team. Now, it looks like he can’t turn on a stove.  Despite a good Thanksgiving feast, Flyer fans are left with a bad taste in their mouths.  “Not a good coach,” and “didn’t have to be so painful,” were phrases that appeared on my texts this week as Dayton routinely built leads and lost them. Against Marquette November 19, the Flyers gave up a 1

11/9/2025 11/30/2025 The Big East felt it got snubbed by the tourney committee last year. So this year they entered with 3 teams in the top 25 and two in the top 5.  5 weeks later, it looks like the committee has the last laugh, as the conference is not getting it done. One team dropped completely out and St John's has gone from 5 down to 14.  The only team holding its own is UConn, which is fitting, since that was the message the league sent to the tournament selection commi

11/30/2025 I am still feeling pretty good about what I have seen so far this year from the Bonnies. And - I have actually been able to SEE them! Living outside Phoenix, Arizona it is somewhat of a rare occurrence to have a St. Bonaventure game available to watch, but that has been the case for three of the last four games. I am highly recommending Fubo these days. The Fort Myers Tip Off tournament put the Bonnies up against the North Carolina Tar Heels. Both teams were undefe

11/28/2025 After a 5-0 start, the Orangemen lost their way in Vegas. They managed to go 0-3 against teams from the former Big 8 (is it now 10, 12, 14, 16, or more?). They lost by ever larger margins as the tournament went along. Tuesday brings Tennessee and a chance for redemption--or another double-digit defeat. 10/31/2025 Syracuse basketball tips off on Nov. 3 against the mighty Binghamton University Bearcats (what the Hell's a Bearcat?) to open a new season. Hope springs e
