The funny thing about firing Chris Holtmann to hire Chris Holtmann's top assistant is that your team will have all the same problems and look the same way it did with Chris Holtmann.

AJ Barner rushing TD I pray

Seahawks 26, Patriots 18, three full replays of the Bill Simmons Podcast if this happens (zero for six months if New England wins).

Here’s the thing. I can TOTALLY see them making the sweet 16 behind Ament alone. I can also see them proceeding to lose to an 8 seed once their bracket inevitably opens up.

Well, that’s a Tennessee game that makes me miss writing about the program 0%

There’s plenty of time until June but I cannot believe a team is going to get to draft Cam Boozer second or even third overall. What are we doing.

Oklahoma led Vanderbilt by 19 with three minutes to play, scored ten points in the final three minutes, and still almost lost because Vandy scored 28 POINTS in three minutes. I do not believe I’ve ever seen that. I’m in awe.

What Oklahoma just did goes down as one of the most impressive incomplete chokes in sporting history. A cinematic near-loss that I’ll remember for many years.

Dan Hurley’s act ranges from annoying to hilarious to outright bad all in the span of one game, which is exactly why college basketball needs him. You need a villain. You always need a villain.

BOOOGGGOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!

It appears my fate rests in three of four available time zones, containing four teams I will attempt to not watch at any point this month.

Pardon???

If you would like to see a true never-ending disaster, NASCAR's season-opening exhibition race on FOX is providing a beauty.

College Basketball Will Not Die If we did subtitles, the subtitle would be "not in your lifetime," and this is true. This piece is written for those logging on in the year 2076, perhaps wondering what all the fuss was about 50 years...

A rare in-season essay about a core belief: www.basketunderreview.com/college-bask...

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Miami Yes That Miami: 23-0. I love this season so much.

‘Infinite Jest’ Came Out 30 Years Ago This Week. If You’ve Never Read It, There’s Never Been a Better Time David Foster Wallace's thick-as-a-brick 1996 magnum opus is a lit-bro punchline, an online-dating red flag, and a forbidding 1,000-plus-page endurance test. And it might be the key to understanding Am...

All the stars are here: Brantley Gilbert, Brice Bradley, Gabby Babby, Bibb Glibsy, Slab Gabbert, Brice Bryce,

"Post Malone covered War Pigs" that's not real. You're making that up. You are clicking in the chumbox.

It's at least the biggest miss in recent memory in terms of an immediate, no-doubt freshman star I would argue. Definitely no-star guys who have ended up being Greek gods by year 3 or so but true freshmen going from 3* to possibly top 3 in NPOY has to be an extremely small list.

Was a pretty extraordinary red flag for Nebraska to shoot 58% from 3 in the first half, hold Wagler to 2-9 from the field, and somehow only lead by six points.

Usually when recruiting services miss on a college-level freshman star, said star was still 44th or whatever in their rankings. Keaton Wagler is the single biggest miss I can ever remember by the various recruiting conglomerates in basketball.

Nate Oats would have to add four more NBA players to defeat this Florida team

Considering the average UConn WBB game this year has been over five minutes in this is a heroic performance by Tennessee.

I have a rare Netflix recommendation at this late stage of the streaming service: Secret Mall Apartment. It’s going to sound niche but is genuinely beautiful in a way I have not seen from a documentary in years.
