Old School Meets New School
On Monday night two of the most underrated teams with two of the most underappreciated coaches will meet up in a key Atlantic Coast Conference matchup when Chris Mack and the Louisville Cardinals face Buzz Williams and the Virginia Tech Hokies Monday night on ESPN. Mack is in his first year at Louisville after a highly successful run at Xavier in which he posted three conference championships with an Elite Eight appearance two years ago. Williams meanwhile has taken Virginia Tech to new heights ...
Saturday’s college basketball schedule offers some of the best potential wagering opportunities of the season but also some tremendous peril, at least for some of the power teams and their backers. Even a mediocre or slumping team can become a viable threat, especially on their home court, against a power team. The largest crowds of the season will turn out on Saturday’s throughout the country to cheer on their home teams against the name brand power visiting what is often a potential trap. Bala...
Although they do not garner much in the way of national recognition or attention the St. Johns Red Storm is in the hunt for March Madness on the strength of an offense that is among the most prolific in the country. The big question for Saturday is if they can win a shootout at the Duke Blue Devils against a team that can score even more than they can while also adding an element of defense. Indeed, Duke is looking like Final Four material as one of the most complete teams in all of college bask...
The Kentucky Wildcats have been on an impressive streak of late, but they are still in third place in the SEC, so they must keep on rolling to claim another conference championship. Kentucky has a tough matchup next time out when it hits the road to face off against the Florida Gators....
The Louisville Cardinals weren’t particularly impressive in the non-conference season, but they have turned it on since the beginning of ACC play. They are tied for first place in the conference but it won’t be easy to stay there as there are myriad powerful opponents coming up. Louisville has a big game next time out when it hosts the North Carolina Tar Heels....
The Michigan State Spartans lost their first conference game last time out and are itching to get back on the court. They will do so on Saturday in a home game against the Indiana Hoosiers. The Spartans are clearly the superior team and have the location advantage so the oddsmakers are likely to make them comfortable favorites....
The Michigan Wolverines have put together one of the most impressive seasons in college basketball. They sit atop the Big Ten and will look to remain there with a win this week against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Michigan is on the road in this game which could make it tougher, but the Wolverines will still be favored to pick up the victory....
Don’t look now, but the Gonzaga Bulldogs look like they are ready to play spoiler once more. Mark Few has created a powerhouse out in Spokane, turning the Bulldogs from a lovable mid-major into a wrecking ball that is constantly demolishing the rest of the teams in the West Coast Conference. Gonzaga lost just one conference game in each of the last two seasons, and the Bulldogs are currently unbeaten in conference play this year. The BYU Cougars are hopeful they can put a halt to Gonzaga’s run t...
We are still one month away from March Madness, but this is a crucial stretch for teams looking to solidify their spots in the NCAA Tournament. College basketball is right in the thick of things in conference play, and teams can find themselves lulled to sleep by the monotony of it and suffer a key loss that hurts them on Selection Sunday. The four ranked teams I’m highlighting on Wednesday aren’t traditional powers in the basketball world, and they will look to keep chugging along to try to sec...
As good as the Nevada Wolf Pack have been this season, their lead in the Mountain West Conference remains tenuous. One team close behind is the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels, who missed a chance to get even at the top with a loss to San Diego State their last time out. Meanwhile, the Pack enjoyed a little break over the weekend and will look to continue their assault on the league with a visit to their in-state rival on Tuesday night....
The Miami Hurricanes are in a bad place right now. Miami is under .500 and the school looks set to finish with a losing record for the first time ever under Jim Larranaga. Larranaga had led the Hurricanes to a 20-win season in six of his seven years on campus, but this year’s team has struggled mightily even though it is a mostly veteran unit with no true freshman on the roster. They will be home underdogs this Wednesday when the ranked Virginia Tech Hokies come to south Florida....
Sparty on. The Michigan State Spartans have been tearing up the Big Ten. Michigan State is a perfect 9-0 in the conference, and Tom Izzo’s bunch are looking like one of the favorites come March. They are tied with Tennessee for the second-longest winning streak in the nation, but they will be on the road in a hostile environment this Sunday. The Purdue Boilermakers have one of the best home crowds in the Big Ten, and their fans will try to make life tough on the visiting Spartans....
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have to wonder what they did to upset the ACC’s schedule makers. Notre Dame has already faced three ranked teams in conference play (losing all three games), and now they must face the two best teams in the conference with just one day’s rest between the games. On Saturday, they will host Virginia, while on Monday night, they will host the Duke Blue Devils. Notre Dame will be an underdog in both games, but Duke is expected to be a significant favorite against the Ir...
After a brief hiatus for the Big-12/SEC Challenge, the Baylor Bears and Oklahoma Sooners will get back to work in conference as they meet for a 9 p.m. ET tipoff in Norman on Monday. The Sooners will look to use this game to get back to .500 in conference....

The Tennessee Volunteers have cruised to a 16-1 record including an undefeated mark at home with 11 victories. They’ll look to make it an even dozen on Saturday afternoon when they play host to the West Virginia Mountaineers....
The Virginia Cavaliers are no longer undefeated, but they’re still one of college hoops’ best teams as they journey to South Bend to take on a Notre Dame Fighting Irish team in a big of a transition....
The Michigan Wolverines go back on the road on Friday night for their first road game since their loss nearly a week ago. Wisconsin got the better of them in that game. On Friday, the Indiana Hoosiers will try to do the same, hosting the Wolverines in Bloomington....
It was an easy week last week for the Iowa Hawkeyes who topped both Penn State and Illinois to improve to 5-3 in conference with their fifth straight win. They’ll be tested, however, on Thursday night when they host a much more difficult opponent in the Michigan State Spartans....
The Oregon Ducks return home on Thursday after a few games in Arizona this past week. Despite a more favorable venue, the competition doesn’t get any easier with the Washington Huskies coming to town....
The Mississippi State Bulldogs have a difficult matchup ahead of them on Tuesday night as they play in one of college basketball’s toughest environments in the Rupp Arena against a surging Kentucky Wildcats team....
The Texas Longhorns snapped a three-game losing streak with a win over Oklahoma at home on Saturday, but will hit the road again for a showdown against the TCU Horned Frogs in Fort Worth on Wednesday night....
The Duke Blue Devils hit the road on Tuesday after a couple difficult games at home, hoping to build off an impressive win over Virginia on Saturday. They’ll take on the Pittsburgh Panthers in this game as one of the ACC’s best takes on a team closer to the bottom of what is ultimately one of college hoops’ best conferences....
It’s been four years since the Georgia Bulldogs last made it to the NCAA Tournament, and almost two decades since they last won a game in March Madness. Although they had one of the top players in the conference in Yante Maten, they were unable to do anything more than make two NIT bids, and that led to change this offseason. Georgia brought in Tom Crean to give the program a fresh start, but it’s clear that it will take a long time to rebuild. However, they can get a win over an arch-rival when...
