Thursday's action certainly lived up to its billing. Both Duke and Miami entered the day attempting to avenge some tough losses from Wednesday's contests while Georgia Tech and Clemson looked to keep their hot ...

Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco lamented his team's offensive struggles in the 2-1 loss to Arkansas, via The Sun Herald: Today's game was like ...

The offseason at Fordham has brought with it the reminder that in college basketball there really is no time off. While not a complete overhaul, the Fordham Rams will have a new look when they take the floor next season. When you consider how much they've struggled, that's a good thing. This is, after all, a crucial time for the Rams. The biggest headline since the season ended was generated by Nemanja Zarkovic, the Serbian-born point guard from ...

A Round of 64 loss in the NCAA tournament is never acceptable at Duke, especially when it comes at the hands of a massive underdog like Mercer. The main culprit for the Blue Devils’ disappointing end to the season was a defense that hampered their effectiveness throughout the entire year. In fact, Duke finished 116th in Ken Pomeroy’s pace-adjusted defensive efficiency rankings, which is particularly disappointing considering it was second in the country in offense. This could ...

Every year, college basketball analysts sign on for the unenviable task of tracking the game's coaching changes. We stick to the cliche "coaching carousel" despite the fact that the whole process has sped up to ludicrous levels. How does "coaching centrifuge" sound? Outside of the elite coaches, everyone else is hanging on by their fingernails anyway, so the term seems rather apropos. At least 40 to 50 jobs are guaranteed to change hands every season considering that ...

With the 2014 ACC tournament reaching its halfway point in Greensboro, N.C., on Thursday, time is already running out for those teams who started off pool play in defeat. Two wins will be the minimum qualification in order to finish top of the pool and qualify for Sunday's championship. That means Miami, Duke and North Carolina will have a lot of work to do over the next two days in order to keep alive their title ...

The SEC doesn't just do football. What has been the best college baseball conference all season has already run the gamut of possible narratives at the conference tournament in Hoover, Alabama. Rivalry game? Check. Major upset? Check. Pitchers' duel? Check. Massive blowout featuring tons of offense? Check and check. The 2014 SEC tournament has an uphill battle in terms of matching the excitement of the previous two days. However, the drama will only build as teams take one ...

We've seen Jameis Winston close out a ninth inning, Florida State break a losing streak spanning almost three years and North Carolina's formerly impenetrable armor get scuffed. And that was only one game. The first two days of the 2014 ACC baseball tournament have been expectantly stellar, with nail-biting outcomes and spectacular individual performances again helping the conference place itself among the nation's best. As group play continues Thursday afternoon, expect the hierarchy to begin establishing itself. ...

Syracuse basketball head coach Jim Boeheim is on a roll with his 2015 recruiting. Boeheim has already landed 5-star (per ESPN.com) guard Malachi Richardson and two 4-star players in forward Tyler Lydon and Franklin Howard. But Boeheim's work is far from over. There are six more players considering offers from Syracuse, and four of them are 5-star recruits. If Boeheim lands at least two more players in this class, it will be a Caliparian effort. As the summer ...

The 2014 SEC tournament has so far lived up to the hype befitting what was the best conference in college baseball during the regular season. Just one day into the double-elimination stage, the top seed has already been knocked down, while another team was run-ruled. Arkansas and Ole Miss also put on a fantastic pitcher's duel, giving fans a little bit of everything. And to think, the tournament is only beginning to heat up. Those teams staring ...
