Wednesday Recap: Oklahoma State Beats #2 Missouri
Consistency has been an issue for the Oklahoma State Cowboys this
season, and it's been an issue for highly-touted freshman Le'Bryan Nash
as well. After scoring 21 points in the Cowboys' 71-68 loss to Iowa
State (which ended at the buzzer on a Scott Christopherson three) Nash
scored just four points in a 66-58 home loss to Kansas State. But the
Dallas native brought...

Xavier vs. Saint Louis: Wednesday's Preview
Neither team is currently in first place in the Atlantic 10 but if anything that magnifies the importance of Saint Louis (15-4, 3-2) heading east to take on Xavier (13-6, 4-2) at the Cintas Center. Both teams are a game out of first place in the loss column, and a closer look at the Billikens' computer numbers shows that they could use a win like this to bolster the resume. According...

Syracuse Suffers First Loss of the Season: Saturday's Recap
With the announcement that starting center Fab Melo would miss Saturday's game due to an unresolved academic issue, the chances that top-ranked Syracuse would remain undefeated took a hit. But few would have thought that the Orange would have few (if any) answers in the paint as a result of his absence, and that's exactly what happened at Purcell Pavilion. Jack Cooley scored...

#3 Baylor vs. #5 Missouri: Saturday's Preview
On the heels of their first loss of the season, #3 Baylor (17-1, 4-1) returns home to take on #5 Missouri (17-1, 4-1) in a game that features a major contrast when it comes to team strengths. Scott Drew's Bears are one of the biggest teams in college basketball while Frank Haith's Tigers are neither as big or as deep in the frontcourt. That simply means that in addition to...

Thursday Recap: Virginia Falls Short at Duke
Thursday was a big night for the Virginia Cavaliers as they were looking for their first win at Duke since 1995, and a victory over the sixth-ranked Blue Devils would raise their ceiling even higher. Despite shooting 0-for-11 from three in the second half Tony Bennett's team still had two chances to send the game into overtime, but neither fell and the Blue Devils hung on to...

The ACC has been assumed by many to be a conference that goes three-deep at the top with an unpredictable group beneath.

Wednesday Recap: Temple Knocks Off #3 Duke
The question asked going into Temple's matchup with #3 Duke was whether or not they would be able to take care of business in the paint with the injured Micheal Eric still out. But by the end of the contest it was apparent that wasn't the biggest issue to be addressed for either team as the Owls won 78-73.
Temple relies heavily on their guards for offense, and Duke didn...

In the days leading up to Indiana's game against#1 Kentucky at
Assembly Hall there weren't too many people who thought that the

Saturday's Preview: #2 Ohio State at #13 Kansas
The lone matchup between ranked teams on Saturday has a rather prominent question that needs to be answered: will Ohio State big man Jared Sullinger (back spasms) be able to play? The sophomore sat out the Buckeyes' win over Texas-Pan American due to the issue, which flared up in #2 Ohio State's (8-0) win over Duke, and it hasn't been decided whether or not he'll...

College Hoops Tuesday Recap: Buckeyes Blow Out Duke
The game between #3 Duke and #2 Ohio State was a matchup expected to be a barnburner throughout. But in runs to begin and end the first half, the Buckeyes made a case to their fans and a national television audience that they should be mentioned in the same breath as Kentucky and North Carolina when talking about early favorites to win the national title. Thad Matta's team opened...

College Hoops Wednesday Recap: Blue Devils Win Thriller in Maui
The game between Duke and Kansas more than lived up to the pregame expectations on Wednesday night, but it was an unsung hero who stepped to the forefront late. Tyler Thornton, essentially a defensive substitute when Austin Rivers picked up his fourth foul, knocked down a pair of critical three pointers late to catapult the Blue Devils to the 68-61 win. Duke earned their fifth Maui...

College Hoops Tuesday Recap: Missouri Blows Out Golden Bears

College Hoops Tuesday: Your Commentary
After both teams won their semifinal games at the CBE Classic in blowout fashion, Missouri (4-0) and California (4-0) should have a stiffer challenge on their hands as they play for the championship in Kansas City. Neither team has much of an issue with playing fast. but given their roots in the "40 Minutes of Hell" system used by former coach Mike Anderson the Tigers could...
