Take these way too early pre-season college basketball rankings with a grain of salt. Expect a lot of player movement the next few months. That !aid it’s still a fun conversation to check where teams are being looked following the end of the 2020-2021 basketball season.

All that was needed before Hubert Davis was officially introduced as North Carolina’s new basketball coach was to hear his predecessor had signed off on the promotion from assistant coach. Turns out Roy Williams had endorsed Davis as a Tar Heel long before the Monday announcement and the formal press conference on Tuesday at the …

The North Carolina tradition fueled the logic and speculation. Now it’s reality. The Tar Heels promoted assistant Hubert Davis to head coach, following a pattern of that dates back 70 years – long enough to encompasses Dean Smith sliding over from assistant to head coach in the 1961-62 season. The job opened up only four …

College basketball is refreshing again. The Final Four — on both the men’s and women’s sides – has knocked us off our feet two straight nights, the women on Friday in San Antonio and the men Saturday in Indianapolis. The climate change has displaced the predictable air clouding the sport through the previous decade. Kentucky …

(Rest in Peace, William Evans – Photo via Associated Press) Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. By now, you’ve heard that Major League Baseball is moving the 2021 All-Star Game at a location to be determined.

Thursday legendary coach Roy Williams retired. It is hard to have imagine that a coach that won over 900 games, with 3 National Titles, and went to 9 Final Fours would be under-appreciated, but I think he was. When you coach at places like Kansas and UNC you’re expected to win big, but that doesn’t …

@ADavidHaleJoint and @aadelsonESPN wrote an quality piece on the Challenges faced by new ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips. It’s as sobering as view of the ACC as we’ve seen since 2013. That was the year the ACC signed the Grant of Rights, and prior to that it the ACC was in tenuous position. There were several …
