Jeff Capel will make Pittsburgh fans forget about Kevin Stallings.
Consider the Kevin Stallings tenure at Pittsburgh as 2 lost seasons of Panther basketball. This was universally hailed as at worst a crippling hire that could set the Pitt program back years. At best maybe Stallings could recapture the magic when led Vanderbilt to the NCAA tournament 5 times from 2007-2012. As we know now, …

Does Loyola Chicago’s run to the Final 4 mean the College Football Playoffs should expand?
Loyola Chicago’s run to the Final 4 means the College Football Playoffs should expand. Over and over and I see this all over twitter. Loyola-Chicago is exactly why college football should expand its playoff to eight teams. Why shouldn’t unbeaten Central Florida be given a chance? #moredemocratic — Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) March 23, 2018 Loyola …

It’s time to really appreciate Florida State’s Leonard Hamilton.
Florida State basketball under Leonard Hamilton has always been an enigma. They were often talented, but considered in some circles to be underachieving as a program overall. Leonard Hamilton was a polarizing coaching figure for Seminole fans – hence the #FireHam hashtag. My blog partner @Hokiesmash_ASD frequently tells Florida State fans to appreciate just what a …

NC State’s basketball season was a success
If I told you at the beginning of the season I told the sane NC State fan that NC State was going to make the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, the fan would be ecstatic. If I told that same fan that Omer Yurtseven would make the All-ACC 3rd team and average 13 points and 7 …

For the 3rd time in the last 4 years the ACC has the most Sweet 16 teams. This year the ACC is tied Big 12 at 4 teams – Syracuse, Clemson, Florida State and Duke. Now I’m not going to use this to make an argument that the ACC was clearly the country’s #1 basketball …

Brad Brownell answers critics by getting Clemson to the Sweet 16.
I was one. I’ll admit it. I wasn’t sure if Brad Brownell was ever going to get Clemson back to the NCAAs. Sure we all thought he could coach, but could he ever assemble a team that could contend in the ACC and make a run in March? The answer is a resounding YES. After …
