UNC and Louisville are in the midst of a tight one in Chapel Hill right now. It’s been a good game between the top-ten teams, and the best moment was easily Deng Adel’s eye-popping dunk from just in front of the free throw line. Look at this jam!

West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins went to his knees and was attended to by medical staff just before halftime of last night’s win over Texas 77-62 win over Texas. He’s okay, but it was a scary moment for everyone, especially Huggins—his defibrillator went off.

Officials whistled WVU’s Elijah Macon for a foul on this play; all three refs were looking directly at the play—in which two Texas players foul each other, and no Mountaineers are to blame for anything—and they still screwed it up. Big 12 officials seem as good at their jobs as Texas’s basketball and football teams…

ESPN’s Mark Adams related a story he says Rick Pitino told him years about about the resilience of the 2008 Arizona Cardinals, who lost to the Patriots 47-7 and went on to win the Super Bowl. Perhaps Pitino turned the game off with 40 seconds left?

Kentucky has lost three of their last five games, which is not a fun place to be. An even less fun place to be is on your way to a noon tip-off after suffering through multiple wake-up calls via fire alarm the night before. This, however, is what the team had to deal with before today’s game against Alabama. From Kyle…

The duo combined for 45 of Duke’s 86 points and nine of its 13 threes. The game was close all the way through, but whenever UNC threatened to take the top off of…

A basketball game ending with free throws is normally boring as hell—one team is up by seven with 30 seconds left, so they go to the line a few times and make it a 10-point win. Here’s to VCU for at least making the lead-ups to its game-winning free throws intriguing (and a kind of weak, but mostly intriguing.)
