With 44 SEC regular season championships and seven national titles, the University of Kentucky is arguably the most accomplished program in college basketball history. Yet, the NCAA's all-time winningest team could not have reached this plateau without the help of a plethora of talent.Over the years, Kentucky has produced more than 30 consensus All-Americans and 33 NBA first-round draft picks. This has inevitably led to much debate with respect to the best players in the ...

I guess I can FINALLY focus on some basketball now, seeing as how there is ONE NFL game left. I am not counting the Pro Bowl, which I am surprised they still play. I think the last time I actually watched I saw Warren Moon throwing a TD pass to Marv Cook or something. Here is the FIRST installment of the JWSB NCAA Basketball Awesome Rankings.   1. Ohio State Buckeyes (20-0) The ONLY undefeated team left in ...

It was a big week for the city of Pittsburgh. First, the Panthers handed Syracuse its first loss of the season, and then the Steelers won the AFC Championship. The collegiate basketball team takes center stage again on Monday night, as Jamie Dixon's club hosts Notre Dame in another Big East battle. Pitt sure looks like a No. 1 seed at this point, but what other 67 teams look to be dancing? As always, I am not trying ...

Saint Joseph's (PA) and La Salle have very poor basketball programs.  Neither generate much fan interest; neither have had much success.  But the performances of both their coaches has reached the level of unacceptable, and both coaches should be fired. As reported by Bleacher Report at the beginning of the season, Phil Martelli started out on the Hot Seat.  And let's just say things have not gone well for Saint Joseph's (PA) this season.  http://bleacherreport.com/articles/483203-college-basketball-coach-phil-martelli-of-saint-josephs-pa-on-the-hot-seat La Salle was ...

On Thursday, for the first time since 2001, Santa Clara defeated West Coast Conference rival Gonzaga. Their 85-71 win was the first for Keating, who is 1-8 against the Bulldogs, and means that the maligned coach has defeated every team in the WCC. As expected, Kevin Foster used a late game three to drill the final nail in Gonzaga’s coffin. “I was just full of excitement because I haven’t won against Gonzaga in three years,” said Foster, ...

Saturday afternoon in Hartford, head coach Bruce Pearl gets off the couch and back in action, albeit for only one game sandwiched in the middle of his eight-game SEC suspension.
