Games of the Night No. 19 Colorado 85, Texas Southern 80 2OT: Double overtime against a team that was 1-5 on the season with four losses by more that 18 points is not impressive. Winning despite the fact that someone named Omar Strong goes for 39 and your star player — Andre Roberson — fouls…

North Carolina’s loss was much, much worse than simply a blowout
Nov 28, 2012, 12:51 AM EDT
This was more than just a loss for No. 14 North Carolina. The 83-59 mollywhopping they took at the hands of No. 1 Indiana on Tuesday night is a legitimate cause for alarm for the folks in Chapel Hill. Why? I thought you’d never ask. Marcus Paige is not a point guard. He’s not Kendall…

North Carolina probably wishes they never turned the lights back on. With 19 minutes left in the second half of the Tar Heels visit to Bloomington, the lights cut out at Assembly Hall. They immediately came back on, but the Tar Heels never showed back up. After using a 15-6 surge to close the half…

Tim Shelton is one talented dude. And I’m not talking about what the former San Diego State Aztec can do on the court. I’m talking about his ability as a rapper and a producer. He released another video for San Diego State hoops, called ‘Montezuma 55th’, and it’s … well, just watch it. And then…

Nov 27, 2012, 7:03 PM EDT
Michael Dixon is a potential all-american candidate for Missouri, but he has yet to suit up for the Tigers as he has been suspended by head coach Frank Haith since late October. When the suspension was originally announced, Haith made it seem like it was an academic issue, saying that it wasn’t a legal problem…

The most disappointing team in the country: UCLA or Memphis?
Nov 26, 2012, 4:00 PM EDT
The craziest part about the beginning of the college hoops season is the number of teams that are already being labeled disappointments. Baylor is back to their old tricks, failing to live up to the talent they have on the roster. That’s what happens when you barely beat a team that lost to Bryant or…

Game of the night: Oakland at Tennessee, 7 p.m.: Believe it or not, Oakland actually has a two game winning streak against the Vols, but those wins came with Keith Benson and Reggie Hamilton still a part of the Golden Grizzlies.

Trey Zeigler was already struggling as he adjusted to life in a major conference. The last thing he needed was to get pulled over so a DUI, but, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, that’s precisely what happened on Sunday morning. Zeigler “will be charged by mail summons with two misdemeanor counts of driving under the…

1. We cannot judge Missouri yet: Not until they have Michael Dixon and/or Jabari Brown in the fold. Brown will get eligible in December. A former top 30 recruit coming out of high school, he’s a big-time athlete at 6-foot-5 and may actually be the best perimeter shooter that Frank Haith has on his roster.…

Team of the Week: Duke Blue Devils This is my opportunity to riff a little bit on the season that Duke has had thus far. Simply put, there is no way that Duke can be ranked any lower than second in your ballot, and they probably deserve quite a few first place votes. Why? Well,…

Player of the Week: Elias Harris, Gonzaga Harris didn’t put up eye-popping stats this week, as he averaged 18.3 points and 7.7 boards in Gonzaga’s run through the Old Spice Classic down in Orlando.

No. 2 Louisville knocked off Northern Iowa 51-46 in the first round of the Battle 4 Atlantis on Thursday night in a game that was just as ugly as we expected. The two teams combined to shoot 32.4% from the floor, 26.8% from three and turn the ball over 41 times. (Although, somewhat surprisingly, there…

There are really two keys to the game when it comes to beating VCU: protecting the ball and defending the three point line. If you can avoid turning the ball over against VCU’s pressure and you allow them to get into a rhythm from beyond the arc, they are going to be a very tough…
