A national championship and a historic March Madness run are all that’s missing from Caitlin Clark’s decorated college basketball career.

However, […]

For the second year in a row, the USC women’s basketball is going to dance in March, thanks in large part to super freshman JuJu Watkins, who has the opportunity to become an even larger college basketball figure depending on how the Trojans perform in March Madness.

Coach Rick Pitino started last year’s offseason with a clean slate of players as only a few returned.

In the 2023 NCAA Tournament, the Florida Atlantic Owls shocked the world as they marched through March Madness all the way to the Final Four… an improbable run for a 9-seed that in their previous 29 seasons had made just one NCAA Tournament. And as is always the case after a notable Cinderella, the next […]

It’s Selection Sunday, and you know what that means… yes, March Madness is now officially ahead of us, but the 68 teams dancing aren’t the only ones who are mad. A handful of teams, the ones who are all too comfortable with their placement on the bubble, and their respective fanbases, are certainly not too happy right […]

Earlier this afternoon, the annual “Selection Sunday” process took place, when the 64 teams (more than that if you count the Play-In games) who are going to participate in this year’s version of March Madness beginning this week were decided upon by a select committee. There were several expected names in the bunch that was […]

It’s officially Selection Sunday and teams across the nation are seeing if they’re dancing in the NCAA Tournament or not.

Before we get to the final Bracketology projections before the NCAA Tournament and March Madness officially begins, I want to take this opportunity to thank ClutchPoints for giving me the chance to do Bracketology, even though I was hired to be an associate editor and writer on the NFL/College Football side of things. I want to thank everyone […]

March Madness is finally here as teams across the nation finalize their Conference Tournaments.

The Bulldogs ended up winning by hitting a buzzer-beater in the closing seconds of the game. After […]

Anthony Davis only played one season with the Kentucky Wildcats, but he made it count by leading the team to a 38-2 record and capping off March Madness with a national title. Davis’ dominance led to him becoming the consensus No. 1 pick, which went to the New Orleans Hornets in 2012. In his lone […]

It was an exciting night for the Iowa State basketball team Saturday as they won the Big 12 Championship game against the No. 1 ranked team in the world in the Houston Cougars, 69-41. While the Cyclones are the No. 7 ranked team in the country, it is still an upset that not many saw […]

My God, now that was an absolutely madness-filled Championship Saturday, wasn’t it? We’re hours removed from the last game of the night, and I gotta be honest, I’m still reeling. Bid thieves had their day, and teams on the bubble paid for it. One #1 seed, the defending National Champions, clearly stands above the rest, […]

Purdue basketball has been one of the best teams in the nation all season long with Zach Edey leading the way.

They tend to be a top team […]
