Villanova's Little Guys Dominated UNC's Big Guys

Where In The World Is Sean Miller? (Not In Pittsburgh, Sorry Guy)
In the world of scoop-driven transaction reporting, it’s OK for a reporter to be wrong. It is not ideal, of course; it’s bad for credibility. But it’s inevitable. Sometimes you’re going to get bad information, or get used by a source with an agenda, and you’re hosed. The best thing to do in that sit...

Referees waved off Octavius Ellis’s would-be buzzer-beating dunk for Cincinnati after video replay showed the Bearcats senior still had the ball as the horn sounded....
Arizona's Sean Miller Sweated Through Your TV
I am a sweaty person. Not just a little, not merely a light sheen of perspiration on hot days or after after exercise, but sweaty. Rivulets become torrents become a full-body drenching at the first sniff of 90 degrees or after the mildest of exertions. I am a disgusting human being, more liquid than...

UConn Forces Fourth Overtime With Three-Quarter-Court Buzzer-Beater

Arizona Coach Sean Miller On Court Storming: Someone's Going To Punch A Fan
No. 9 Arizona fell 75-72 to Colorado last night, the buzzer coming just after Allonzo Trier’s potential tying three clanged harmlessly away, and then, for the 10th time in the Wildcats’ last 11 road losses, the home fans charged the court....

UNH Hockey Fan Tries To Throw Huge Fish Onto Ice, Struggles Mightily

John Calipari Ejected In Under Three Minutes Against South Carolina
The #22 Kentucky Wildcats are on the road down in South Carolina this morning, and it took John Calipari mere minutes to get all riled up at officials and get himself tossed. Weirdly, it was after a foul was called against the Gamecocks....
Dancing Kentucky Fan Picks Up Girl, Drops Her Down The Stairs
This old dude right here is apparently known as “Boogieman,” and is a fixture at Kentucky basketball games. Someone please tell Boogieman that he is far too old to just go around scooping people up:...
D.J. Johnson's Nike Fell Apart Right On The Basketball Court
Quality shoes, those Nikes. Kansas State was actually leading top-ranked Oklahoma until Wildcats forward D.J. Johnson had his shoe disintegrate in the middle of a play. It’s still close in the second half, but the Sooners hold a four-point lead....
Providence's Junior Lomomba Is Psychic, Maybe
Providence upset #4 Villanova in Philly today (without a particularly good game from future lottery pick Kris Dunn) thanks to Ben Bentil going off for 31 points. These two here weren’t exactly highlight reel material for him, but Québécois point guard Junior Lomomba used his (apparent) psychic abili...

Alabama's Jimmie Taylor Discovers New Way To Box Out
Kentucky won today’s SEC basketball battle in Tuscaloosa today 77-61, but it was the Crimson Tide that contributed to the college basketball corpus of literature as forward Jimmie Taylor introduced a new way of boxing out defenders to secure the offensive rebound. Despite this innovation, Taylor was...
Dumbass Cat Wanders Around Everton Game Like He's People Or Something
Everton played something called Dag & Red FC this morning in the FA Cup, but more importantly, a cat invaded the game and tried to play soccer as if it was a human. Newsflash for you, my pal: no cats allowed....
