Georgia Tech has one of the best point guard lineages in college basketball. At one time, Georgia Tech and point guard U frequently came together in the same sentence.

We wrote earlier this week that Virginia Tech had a big opportunity Saturday night against Virginia. Did the Hokies ever come through on that opportunity with some kind of final 10 minutes where Virginia Tech’s Keve Aluma took over the game.

Duke placed five players in double figures, eight saw double-digit minutes and nine scored. Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski has been rotating lineups all year seeking consistency, but this time it was different. Plenty of guys saw the floor because the game was in hand the final 30 minutes. Duke toyed with Clemson, winning 79-53 …

Five months ago we lost John Thompson, the Georgetown Hall-of-Fame coach. This week another influential African-American college basketball coach passed away, Temple Hall-of-Famer John Chaney. Both men were outspoken and often misunderstood. I was never around Thompson, but I was fortunate to see Chaney up close at the 2001 NCAA South Regional. It was easy …

Coach K celebrated liked it was 1996. After Georgia Tech missed a three-point field goal attempt with six seconds to play and trailing Duke by six points, Mike Krzyzewski rose as quickly as a 73-year-old man with artificial knees and hips can and went down the sideline slapping hands with his players with a spring …

Louisville’s season may have hung in the balance with a home game against a flawed but talented Duke team. If we’re being honest this isn’t a NCAA caliber Duke team, but it’s a team of young highly recruited players that is still pretty dangerous in the right environment. With that said, this was is a …

It’s definitely cliché when we say one team broke another, but when it comes to Clemson basketball I think there’s something to it. After a COVID pause 9-1 Clemson was playing on their home floor on January 15 in a marquee game against the Virginia Cavaliers. Virginia woodshedded Clemson 85-50. It was a complete and …
