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 …

With the retirement of former NC State QB Phillip Rivers Wednesday, the debate has begun – Is Phillip Rivers a NFL Hall of Famer? Not everyone thinks so… The strike against Rivers is that he never won or even appeared in a Super Bowl. It’s a valid point. Rivers will never be held with the …
