The beauty of college basketball extends far beyond the fact that the (unpaid) athletes actually play team defense during the regular season. It transcends the greatest playoff system in sports. The greatest part of college basketball is, and always will be, the fans.The countless hours (and in some cases, days) that university students nationwide spend waiting for tickets, painting bodies and cheering on their school represents a devotion unlike any other in sports. A sense of actual association ...

C.J. Fair had an outstanding 2011-2012 season, which propelled him into the national spotlight. However, Fair really never got the credit he deserved. C.J.'s game isn't flashy, which could be the reason he doesn't get enough credit. In fact, Dion Waiters tapped C.J. Fair with the nickname "The Silent Assassin." Often while at the Carrier Dome, I would look up at the scoreboard and wonder how Fair had 15 points, as I could not remember a single ...

State, Baylor, Texas A&M, UConn, Memphis, Tennessee, Cincinnati, Rhode Island, Oklahoma and Kentucky.

Jeremy Hollowell is a member of Indiana's fantastic freshmen class this year. I think he could realistically be the best scorer out of that group by the time his playing career is done. Hollowell has a very tall frame and has been beefing up all summer down in Bloomington. He's going to be very difficult to defend as he's very tall with great range. He's also very quick and ...

Lunardi posted his preseason bracketology prediction on Monday, which you can find here.For purposes of this article, I will simply breakdown each region per slide, as well as discuss teams on the bubble, and the breakdown on number of teams per conference in the field. So basically, I'm going ...

After three straight seasons of dominance in this rivalry between in-state rivals, the Boilermakers fell to the Hoosiers in both matchups during the 2011-12 season. Based on preseason expectations for both teams, another season sweep is more than possible this coming year.Indiana is not only the favorite to win the Big Ten, but possibly the national championship as well. Purdue, on the other hand, lost three key seniors from last year's team, but still has ...

Adria Gasol, the brother of Pau and Marc, has enrolled at UCLA and will walk-on to the men's basketball team next season, Yahoo! Sports Jeff Eisenberg reports.Although his brothers are NBA players, fans should not expect too much out of Adria. The 18-year-old is not expected to see much playing time with the Bruins, according to Eisenberg. Fans may only see him during blowouts; he is a walk-on, after all.Gasol was not expected to play basketball growing up, ...

Myck Kabongo’s decision to stay in Austin for his sophomore year—along with a superlative recruiting class—immediately made Texas a contender for 2012-13. However, Kabongo and center Cameron Ridley (ESPNU’s No. 8 recruit in the nation) are far from the only factors that will determine where the Longhorns finish next season. One of the less-heralded players who will need to step up next year is Kabongo’s backcourt mate (and classmate), Julien Lewis. Lewis has the potential ...
