One of the good things to come out of the 2013 season for the Georgia Bulldogs is that the defensive front seven was able to get after quarterbacks. In fact, the Bulldogs were second in the SEC in total sacks with 33. And of those 33 sacks, six of them came from defensive end Ray Drew, which put him second on the team behind Leonard Floyd in sacks. Drew had a productive 2013 season. He made ...

Kansas State experienced plenty of highs in lows in 2013-14, including a season-opening loss to Northern Colorado, wins over Gonzaga and Kansas and a first-round exit in the NCAA tournament to eventual runner-up Kentucky.  2014-15 could see the Wildcats get back to Big 12 title contention though, thanks largely in part to the influx of talent arriving in the Little Apple.  New to the Wildcats this winter will be Top 100 recruit Malek Harris, two highly regarded ...

Speaking with reporters at the SEC meetings Tuesday, Hancock again indicated any talks of an expanded field were speculative, per ESPN's Brett McMurphy: Hancock's 12-year timeline is no accident.

For a rarity, Kentucky basketball has only two starters to replace for next season, but one of those holes doesn’t have an obvious player on hand to fill it. Although freshman Trey Lyles is an easy pick to succeed NBA-bound Julius Randle, Randle’s classmate, James Young, leaves the small forward job in search of its next star.
