Buzz Williams is on his way to Texas A&M. There’s no way to sugar coat it. That’s a big loss for the Virginia Tech basketball program. When Buzz Williams was hired, we said it was a good to great hire. We told you that back in 2014.  Williams won’t be overwhelmed competing against the like …

Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski is arguably the 2nd best coach in the history of college basketball. Sorry John Wooden will always be number one.

Did I not tell you Virginia fans that you were headed to Final 4 on Tuesday? Were you worried? OK I also said Carson Edwards wouldn’t score 42 points again and he did.

Survive and advance they say… That’s exactly what Duke did today in a 77-76 win over UCF. It was the signature game of the tournament so far. Frankly Duke should have lost. If you saw the end of the Duke\Wake Forest game near the end of the regular season, this was a replay. Crazy ending …
