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

College Hoops Updates - in Jokes - by Dave Barend
3/17/2026 Wife: How many more hours are you going to spend on those damn brackets? Me: Depends. How many more hours till tip off? 3/13/2026 Let's get one thing straight: Sunday should never be referred to as Oscars Night. Happy Selection Sunday to all, and to all a good Tournament. 3/9/2026 Furman has made the NCAA Tournament. Yet all you hear about is Batman, Superman and Spiderman. 3/6/2026 Cal State Bakersfield suspended an assistant coach for “moonlighting as a pimp.” I’

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. A

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
