In case you missed it, basketball was a pretty big deal at Miami this spring. Jim Larranaga's team won the ACC and made a deep run into the NCAA tournament; along the way it embarrassed Duke as thoroughly and mercilessly as Duke has ever been embarra...

The stars aligned for Angel Rodriguez. In the same span of weeks in which Rodriguez decided to leave Kansas State and play basketball closer to his family in Puerto Rico, Miami point guard Shane Larkin decided to leave for the NBA draft. Suddenly, Mi...

In general, I'm not a huge believer in the idea that injury worries should be a major factor in most players' NBA draft decisions. Sure, it's always a risk, and it's always easy to favor hindsight if a player is indeed burned by his decision to play ...

In addition to plenty of just-plain-great games -- Louisville's win at Syracuse, Marquette's big home win over Notre Dame, that amazing Duke-Miami thriller at Cameron Indoor Stadium -- Saturday was also filled with bubble action, from the start of th...

College hoops polls might be inconsequential noise, but that doesn't make the arguments any less fun. In that spirit, I present the creatively named Poll Thoughts, which you can expect every Monday until the season is over. The polls don't matter,...

Here at the ESPN.com college hoops headquarters, we -- and by "we," I mostly mean our tireless editor, Brett Edgerton -- spend a lot of time trying to plan for a sport that is inherently unpredictable. It's just part of the gig, same as anything else...

No. 1 Duke at No. 25 Miami, 7 p.m. ET, ESPN: Thank goodness for basketball, and thank goodness for an inept NCAA. If I am a Miami basketball partisan, or a player, or coach Jim Larranaga, or -- actually, especially -- former coach Frank Haith, tho...

On Monday, CBS Sports' Jeff Goodman reported per a source that the NCAA was preparing to notify Missouri coach Frank Haith of allegations of unethical conduct and other violations as a result of the organization's probe into Miami booster Nevin Shapi...

In the 18 months since Yahoo! Sports released its bombshell report on Miami booster and Ponzi schemer Nevin Shapiro, Frank Haith has settled into a new job, dealt with widespread criticism of his hire, adjusted from last year's season-ending injury t...

Here are yours truly's 10 big thoughts from the first January hoops Saturday of the year: 1. C.J. McCollum's injury looks like a real bummer. Before we eulogize McCollum's season, it's important to note that we don't know exactly what injury cause...

My favorite Diamond Head Classic of all time -- 2010 -- was a bit of a disaster. Last year's was OK: Xavier struggled in its post-brawl malaise, and Kansas State and Long Beach State emerged better for the trip. But 2010 had what might be the greates...

Question of the Day is a new feature here at the blog, wherein yours truly answers one especially thoughtful question, Twitter response, blog comment, email or any other form of written communication designed to elicit (hopefully) intelligent discuss...

Some assorted thoughts on the bulk of Saturday's afternoon action: Baylor 64, No. 8 Kentucky 55: With the benefit of a couple months' distance, it's entirely likely we will look back at this game as nothing more than a good win for Baylor. We will...

Tournament bracket for the Diamond Head Classic When and where: Dec. 22-23, 25 at the Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu, Hawaii Initial thoughts: San Diego State and Arizona are the main attractions, and rightfully so -- UA is a potential top-10 ...

Yes, that's right: After Wednesday's signing day madness -- Nerlens Noel to Kentucky, Shabazz Muhammad to UCLA, extra extra, read all about it -- we've gone and built another extremely early top 25. I know, I know. You're excited. The whole "too e...

Believe it or not, a certain massive matchup in Durham, N.C., isn't the only college hoops game on the schedule today. Hard to believe, I know, but it's true. Here's a look at much of the action -- bubble and otherwise -- that served as the appeti...
