North Carolina State winning at Duke surprised just about all of the college basketball world. It probably shouldn’t have. For the seemingly never-ending enigma that is N.C. State basketball, Monday night’s 84-82 win at Cameron Indoor Stadium was all too fitting. The Wolfpack have been making a living for years of […]
On Monday, Baylor began its first week in school history as a No. 1-ranked team in NCAA men’s basketball. Unfortunately for the Bears, if there’s going to be a second week at the top spot, they’re probably going to have to wait a while. It just so worked out that […]

With teams looking to squeeze in games before Christmas and the holidays, the full schedule of games on Tuesday had the feeling of a Saturday. And boy, did it deliver.
A team that didn’t return many scholarship players after a much-needed housecleaning wins again. Plus Oregon may have lost more than just their first game of the season, and early conference games were on tap in one conference.
