Folks, it’s time to address the elephant in the room. For the past three months, I’ve remained silent on this issue, foolishly thinking, hoping, that the NCAA would right their clear-as-day mistake and fix college basketball. But no. It’s January 17, three weeks into conference play, and I have yet to see Perry Ellis.

New Mexico defeated Colorado State 84-71 behind Elijah Brown’s 25-point performance, bringing the Lobos to 3-3 in Mountain West place, good for fourth place behind the third-place Rams. The game was described as “chippy ” by a CSU student journalist; after an alleged incident in the postgame handshake line, the two…

UConn is a dynasty and already seems like a lock to secure a slot in the national championship come April. But not even a record-breaking 91-game winning streak can overshadow the fact that some of the most entertaining basketball is being played on the West Coast by Washington senior guard Kelsey Plum.

Georgetown guard Rodney Pryor earned some serious style points today with the one-handed dunk to wrap up this alley-oop. (Bonus: a ridiculous Gus Johnson call is included.)

It’s been two years since the college basketball world has had a legitimate reason to turn their eyes toward Creighton, but with a 16-1 record and a couple top-15 wins in the bag, the Bluejays are officially done waiting for everyone else to wake up and realize this team is just as dangerous as the …

As Arizona State guard Torian Graham was walking off the court after his pregame warmups before last night’s game against Arizona, he told some Wildcats fans what he really thought of them with a double-bird salute.

UTEP and FIU’s men’s and women’s basketball teams achieved some incredible synchronicity tonight as both games ended 88-87, on buzzer beaters, after multiple overtimes.

The UConn women’s basketball program is so perennially dominant that its only real competition at this point is past iterations of Geno Auriemma’s team. The current Huskies proved they’re still the best in basketball Tuesday night with their 90th-consecutive win—an NCAA record matched only by the UConn women of…

Indiana committed 14 turnovers and lost to Maryland Wednesday, falling to 1-3 in Big Ten play after starting the season No. 11 in the nation and climbing as high as No. 3. Hoosiers guard OG Anunoby was largely unspectacular off the bench, contributing just five points on 2-of-9 shooting; he did, however, manage to…

Duke lost on the road to Florida State 88-72 Tuesday night, and keeping with what now appears to be a nightly routine, guard Grayson Allen drew the ire of a college basketball team’s fan base when yet another one of the junior’s ill-controlled appendages struck yet another human being. This time, though, Allen…

Then-undefeated Baylor became the #1 team in the nation for the first time in school history on Monday. A day later, the Bears got blown out by West Virginia, and I hope they enjoyed their lone day in the number one spot, because it’s almost assuredly gone after this week.

ESPN threw Bill Walton onto its ESPN Voices feed of tonight’s national championship game, and the basketball legend—clad in an Uncle Sam costume—has spent the game asking basic questions about which teams are playing, who the quarterbacks are, and where the game is being played all on top of other panelists’…

Grayson Allen’s “indefinite” suspension for lunatic play turned out to be only one game, and just one game after his return, it looks as if that may not have been long enough for him to learn his lesson. During yesterday’s game against Boston College, the junior was involved in something that looks to me more like an…

The Missouri and Georgia coaching staffs got into an old-man brawl at the end of the first half of today’s game between the Tigers and Bulldogs in Athens, with referee Karl Hess even inserting himself into the ruckus and shoving people in what his mind we’re sure passes for an attempt to restore order.

A Bruins fan at Thursday’s UT Martin-Belmont women’s basketball game sat behind the announcing table and downed spoonfuls from what appeared to be an enormous jar of mayonnaise. But was the mayo boy actually eating mayo? Let’s review the evidence.

Grayson Allen said he had no idea he’d be back in the lineup against Georgia Tech until he arrived for the pregame walk-through, and that’s when coach Mick Krizilonski let him know: Allen’s “indefinite” suspension, for tripping yet another player, was over after one game.

All it took for Duke to end the “indefinite suspension” of star shooting guard/humility-themed motivational poster Grayson Allen was one loss to Virginia Tech. Allen was suspended after Duke’s Dec. 22 win over Elon for tripping yet another opponent (this is somewhat of a habit for Allen), and coach Mick Krizilonski…

With Kansas and Kansas State tied up at 88 with 5.6 seconds left, the Jayhawks gave the ball to Svi Mykhailiuk. Mykhailiuk took it end-to-end and scored a buzzer-beating layup, preserving Kansas’ NCAA-high 50-game home win streak.

Duke’s last two non-conference games of the year should have been cupcakes. But the Blue Devils were all over the place and struggled against both Tennessee State and Elon, trailing in the second half in both games before getting their shit together and taking the two victories.

We’ve noted before how Kentucky’s magic freshman Malik Monk can transform games. Here he is tonight stealing souls from some poor kids from Ole Miss. Don’t look too closely if you value your own afterlife.

Through 14 games, Oregon forward Dillon Brooks has taken a step to the side or backwards in nearly all major offensive categories—his long ball is hitting just 30 percent of the time. Still, as he has throughout his career, the third-year player from Ontario has focused on basketball’s fundamental tasks, like pissing off Coach K and draining nasty buzzer-beaters, and it’s working out for the 12-2 Ducks.

Duke beat Elon, but who cares. We’re all here for Grayson Allen getting T’d up for tripping an opponent (his third such tripping incident in the calendar year), having a mini-meltdown about it, the ensuing pile-on of Coach K, and everyone waking up this morning to the news that Duke has indefinitely suspended Allen, effective immediately.

Aspiring Matthew Dellavedova Grayson Allen did the following just now in front of God, his mom, and the world as Dook played fearsome Elon:

With the Hawkeyes up by 11 with three seconds to play, there was no question about who was going to win tonight’s game between Iowa and North Dakota. But North Dakota forward Drick Bernstine stole the ball and tried to beat the buzzer with a little jumper anyway, and Iowa coach Fran McCaffrey was not happy. So unhappy that he walked off the court immediately, and his players followed—leaving North Dakota hanging as they waited to shake hands.

In the photo above, Tennesse State’s Darreon Reddick is quite literally watching Duke’s Grayson Allen go by. He should’ve observed the unwritten-but-well-known Duke Buffer Zone of at least five feet; he got whistled for the foul on Allen.

Malik Monk’s three-pointer with 17 seconds remaining gave Kentucky the lead for good in the Wildcats’ lightning-fire matchup against North Carolina, as the freshman phenom finished with 47 points in leading his team to a 103-100 win over the Tar Heels.
