It's like our Saturday observations, but on Wednesday instead! A few end-of-day thoughts from another tremendous evening of college hoops: 1. Kansas stole one at Oklahoma State. Don't get it twisted: I'm not saying the Jayhawks didn't deserve to w...

Editor's Note: This week, ESPN.com broke down the nonconference schedules of each and every team in a dozen of the nation's top leagues. On Monday, we began in the South with the ACC, SEC and C-USA. On Tuesday, we focused on the East with the A-10, B...

At this point, when I hear or see Armando Cristian Perez, the rap/dance musician better known by stage name "Pitbull," I reflexively wince. Rarely has a musician so apparently mediocre become so ubiquitous so quickly. It seems like you can't step ...

Earlier this week, Kentucky coach John Calipari fired off one of the best, funniest and most thinly veiled recruiting pitches ever delivered via Twitter. It went a little something like this: I want to apologize to all the recruits this week. I'm ...

The SEC/Big East Challenge may not quite have the longstanding cachet of its ACC/Big Ten brethren, nor should it. The ACC/Big Ten Challenge is 13 going on 14, and as the years piled up and the Atlantic Coasters just kept winning -- the ACC won the fi...

Former Kansas State coach Frank Martin has been exasperated. Any time anybody writes about his decision to move from K-State to South Carolina, any time he fields questions about the move, he is asked about some supposed breakdown in his relationship...

The coaching carousel is in full swing these days, with jobs opening and vacancies filling and Illinois news conferences just begging to be held. (How has this not happened yet?) But forget Frank Martin and South Carolina. The best hire of the week g...

OK, OK, I know, I know: Frank Martin has yet to coach a game at South Carolina. You have to coach a game at a school before you can be placed in the annals of said school's greatest all-time coaches. Coaching at Kansas State is not quite like coachin...

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's Feb. 12. In a month and a day, the selection committee will hurriedly select and seed the 2011 NCAA tournament bracket. That means we're right in the thick of bubble season, that special time of year when NCAA tourney hopefuls assess their situa...

When even the 7-9 Seattle Seahawks are eliminating the reigning Super Bowl Champs in the first round of the playoffs, you know it's been a crazy day. Such was the case in college hoops Saturday, too. When you play 139 games in one day, there are a...

Some scattered reflections on what turned out to be a rather tremendous afternoon of college hoops (Cory Joseph bobbleheads sold separately): Gonzaga gets its much-needed win. Forget an NCAA tournament at-large bid. For now, Gonzaga just needed t...

The Morning After is our semi-daily recap of last night's best hoops action. It recommends not waiting too late to catch up on Boardwalk Empire. Montana 66, UCLA 57: Care for a quick look under the hood? If you scroll down a bit, you'll see obser...

Eamonn Brennan takes a game-by-game look at ESPN's 20-game College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon.

The ESPN.com summer previewing tour continues every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with Summer Shootaround, our exhaustive August look at key college hoops conferences. In addition to helping out with the Shootarounds, yours truly will be adding some r...

ESPN's college hoops kickoff Nov. 16 would be great in and of itself. After all, it's a hard road to the return of the college basketball season. By the time November rolls around, any basketball is welcome. We watch anyway. What's awesome about l...
