The season just ended with Connecticut crowned the national champions. Congrats to the Huskies on a great season. This is likely to change significantly with the transfer portal, but it’s still worth it to look at some way too early top 25 rankings, and see where things are following the season. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/36058691/uconn-huskies-no-1-2023-24-way-too-early-top-25-men-college-basketball-rankings https://www.si.com/college/2023/04/04/mens-college-basketball-2023-2024-way-to-early-top-25-rankings https://www.foxsports.com/stories/college-basketball/college-basketball-power-rankings-all-too-early-top-25-for-2023-24 https://www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-basketball/news/college-basketball-rankings-uconn-ucla-way-too-early-top-25/pzbporqftx38isgvw0j3eq0q …

Back in February, we wrote about the lazy national narrative concerning ACC Basketball. The Big 10 is ranked 2nd in the NET rankings, and most bracketologists have them as a 9-bid league. Including the bottom of the ACC, the ACC won the ACC/Big 10 Challenge 8-6, and that was without 22-win NC State being in …

Last month we wrote about how the Pac 12 struggled to control the narrative of their recent TV negotiations and realignment activities. When it comes to PR only the Pac 12 does as poor a job as the ACC. Over the last several months most of the realignment rumors have been pure non-sense, not even …

Before anyone starts, we know that football pays the bills but missing revenue opportunities is still missing revenue opportunities. There is a growing call for Women’s Basketball to break away on their own from the current NCAA Media Rights agreement set to end in 2023-2024. Our friend and editor at @TrojanWire @MattZemek recently discussed this …

It’s safe to say the @accnetwork has had mixed reviews since it’s launch in 2019. Sometimes its programming hits the mark and sometimes it hasn’t. One thing is for sure. When you have teams playing in collegiate sports biggest events you need to be covering it. That’s what having a conference network is for. It …

Sometimes analysts rely so heavily on their analytic takes, they will go to the grave with them no matter what happens on the field of play. Remember Bill Connelly back in 2019 unable to bridge the gap between his analytics and Clemson’s 44-16 trouncing of Alabama? Because of the season-long results, and because this was …

A funny thing happened (again) during March. The national perception was that ACC men’s basketball was having its worst year in history. Most computer metrics had the ACC as the 6th or 7th rated conference. ACC women’s basketball was also considered down, but not quite to the extent of the men. Top 15 fixtures like …

The Miami Hurricanes eliminated the final #1 seed (Houston) remaining in the NCAA Tournament. I don’t want to say I told you so, but I told you this could happen before the brackets were even released. You have to wait for the brackets, but I can very easily see not picking a single #1 seed …

Nearly one year ago, Miami Jim Larranaga’s guided his Hurricane team to a Sweet 16 after a masterpiece of a coaching effort against the Auburn Tigers. 73 years young, Larranaga is doing it again. Miami is headed back to the Sweet 16 after the Canes thumped a solid Indiana team 85-69. Back in December Larranaga …
