Michigan is our national title winner. But are they also the way-too-early team to beat for the 2026-27 CBB season? Check out my pointless, but needed, power rankings below.

Hurley should’ve gotten a tech on 20 different occasions so don’t wanna hear anything about this one. His abuse of refs isn’t cute or charming and hopefully he stops if it costs them the game.

“Texas isn’t the No. 5 team in the country.” “UCLA isn’t the No. 2 team in the country.” How about it’s because they’re playing the No. 1 team in the country? If you’re still denying how good Gonzaga is, you’re blind.

My mother passed away this evening, thankfully without any more pain. I grew up without a father so I appreciate everything you were able to do for me. I just hate that I only got 31 years with you. Hopefully, I can use the next 30+ years to show you raised me well. I love you.

Just let the 1-seed mid-majors that didn’t go dancing back in. The NIT needs teams that want to be in there more than anything.

It’s absolute mayhem here in San Antonio as Houston comes back from 9 down in the final 2 minutes to beat Duke 70-67! LJ Cryer with 26 pts to lead the comeback, white J’Wan Roberts had 11 pts and 12 rebs. It’s Houston vs Florida for the national title game on Monday.

I’m confused because wasn’t Kentucky fans mad about Antonio Reeves being linked to other teams despite not entering the portal and now they’re doing the EXACT same thing with Tre Mitchell?

A lot of buzz around Kentucky and Tre Mitchell… 6’9 PF from West Virginia. Was a starter and averaged 12pts/6reb while shooting 36% from 3. Played at both Texas and UMass before WVU and performed well. Would be a very good addition…
