The Michigan State fans at The Only Colors have a major beef with Big Ten referee Ed Hightower, who spent a solid 30 seconds yelling face-to-face with Tom Izzo after a questionable traveling call on Raymar Morgan Tuesday night. They probably have a p...

Thanks to Facebook, Twitter, and Friendster (ha, not Friendster, just kidding), fans can now get closer to their athletes than ever before. Oh, sure, a Twitter profile isn't like a face-to-face interaction, but when you have an entire set of friends ...

Afternoon Links are pretty self-explanatory. Want to share? Email or tweet me@eamonnbrennan. As I mentioned in today's preview, Rick Pitino and his son, Richard Pitino, will face off for the first time in Louisville tonight. Richard is a former L...

Let's face it: The coach-hosted radio call-in show - the coach's show - is an anachronism. This in an age in which access to coaches and players is protected like Vice President Walden an important political figure on a television show that actually ...

One of the least welcome developments we college hoops fans are forced to face this season is the lack of a Missouri-Kansas Border War. Missouri's departure for the SEC left Kansas stung (understandably so, given that realignment almost left Kansas h...

So you're a fan of Florida. Or you're a Georgetown die-hard. You've got to be stoked for November, right? That's when your team will face off in a season-opening game aboard a U.S. Navy warship at the Naval Station Mayport in Jacksonville, Fla., -...

On its face, there is little mystery to Binghamton's firing of coach Mark Macon, which the school announced Monday afternoon via Twitter. The Bearcats went 2-29 in 2012. When you go 2-29 in a season -- when you flirt with a winless season and you're ...

No wonder Gorgui Dieng laughs. If you saw this strange American world through the eyes of Louisville's Senegalese-born center, you'd be laughing, too.

Coaching D-I basketball has a lot of perks. But when the losses pile up and the expectations aren't met, it can get ugly. With some help from Bob Dylan, the Bottom 10 offers up this season's men of sorrow -- the dreaded hot-seat occupiers.

It wasn't quite Cincinnati-Xavier, thankfully, but Arizona State and Southern Miss became the second set of opponents in two weeks to spend at least some portion of their on-court time trading shots to the face and/or head. It started with 12:14 r...

I'll admit it: If my face looked the way Xavier forward Kenny Frease's face looked after Cincinnati's Yancy Gates sucker-punched him Saturday, I would not be quick to forgive. Frease's welt was major. The left side of his face looked like Antonio Mar...

Wednesday afternoon was marked largely by two pieces of news. First, the Big East released its schedule. As a result, we learned which three opponents Connecticut would face during Jim Calhoun's NCAA-mandated suspension. Thanks to the randomness of t...

Last week, NCAA president Mark Emmert -- speaking to the assembled media at the NCAA's first-ever Enforcement Experience -- made something of a proclamation: He wants cheaters to face harsh penalties, to know that any rule-bending action isn't worth ...

When it comes to advising their NBA prospects on their decisions to stay or leave, college basketball coaches face a challenging conundrum. If a player is ready, he should go. If he isn't, he should stay. But it's tough to deliver that news and seem ...

You might just get punched in the face. Apparently, that was the case in October, according to Milwaukee's WISN network. That's when Milwaukee police ticketed Vander Blue for an altercation outside a campus Qdoba restaurant (mmm ... queso burrito)...

Anytime a coach faces his former team -- and especially when that game comes in the former team's home arena -- you would expect a certain amount of acrimony to ensue. Michigan fans didn't love Tommy Amaker, and after the coach was fired by Michigan ...
