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.

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.

AL.com filmed three groups of Alabama football fans as they reacted to two crucial scores in Monday’s CFP Championship: Jalen Hurts’s 30-yard touchdown to give the Crimson Tide a lead with two minutes left, and Clemson receiver Hunter Renfrow’s game-winning TD with one second left. Don’t skip ahead; let the video…

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.

For an interior defensive lineman, short fourth downs and goal-line stands seem like the most exciting situations a football game can offer the position—their shot to get low, blow through an aggressive wall of meat, and make the play in the backfield. But as Alabama’s Da’Ron Payne discovered, if you don’t do the…

Moving to Washington, D.C. and starting a PAC doesn’t make as many as waves as it used to. Luckily for college athletic directors, Donald Trump has his name on a hotel.

More than any other team in sports, Alabama football feels the most futile to root against. Over and over, they’ve stamped out nascent comebacks with two well-timed turnovers or turned a 14-10 game into a 28-10 game in two minutes of work. These are the sorts of ways you can win games when you’re bigger and faster…

The National Championship rematch between Alabama and Clemson was just as fraught and close as 2016’s all-time classic, but unlike last year, it ended with Alabama getting their hearts ripped out and Clemson wining their first title since 1981.

Mike Williams hung on and got the first down here, but it cost him a huge shot from Alabama DB Tony Brown. There was no penalty called on the play, even if it appeared to be a fairly clear targeting violation. The Tigers held him out for the rest of the drive, but ESPN reported that he was medically cleared to return…

Tonight, millions will tune in to watch two very good college football teams play again for the national championship. There will be Ben “I Love Butts” Boulware, no Lane Kiffin, and lots of knee braces on uninjured fat guys.

Berkeley let go of head football coach Sonny Dykes this morning, after four years and a 19-30 record. His firing comes with a buyout of nearly $6 million, thanks to a 2015 contract extension that was supposed to keep him at Cal through the 2019 season. Per Twitter, however, it looks as if players were not informed…

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…

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.

Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon will skip his junior and senior seasons in college and head straight to the NFL draft. According to ESPN and The Oklahoman, Mixon told his Sooners teammates that he planned to go to the draft this afternoon.

The University of Minnesota fired head football coach Tracy Claeys on Tuesday, at least in part because Claeys supported his players’ plan to boycott their bowl game in solidarity with 10 teammates who were suspended following a university sexual assault investigation. The university’s decision to fire Claeys does not…

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…

It’s probably not a great idea to put any 87-year-old former college football coach on live television, but it’s an even worse idea when the old-timer in question happens to be Bobby Bowden.

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.

Monday, Alabama announced via a Nick Saban statement that new FAU head coach Lane Kiffin will not join the Crimson Tide on the sideline or in the booth as offensive coordinator for its upcoming rematch with Clemson in the national title game. Given the curious timing and Kiffin’s tendency to wear on his employers, a…

Wisconsin tight end Troy Fumagalli was born with amniotic band syndrome, and had to have his left index finger amputated as a result. That hasn’t prevented him from playing college football, and it doesn’t stop him from making highlight-reel catches like the one he had during today’s Cotton Bowl:

Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin will be the head coach at FAU next season, but he continued to serve as Alabama’s OC during Saturday’s playoff game against Washington. It was assumed that he would do the same during next week’s championship game, but head coach Nick Saban just announced that Kiffin and Alabama are parting ways immediately.

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.
