Purdue (3-0) is undefeated through three games but the Boilermakers have not left Mackey Arena, nor have they entertained any decent competition in their home. Included in the three wins was a narrow 66-62 win over Lipscomb, while the other two were blowouts over Bethune-Cookman and Loyola (IL). Playing the Clemson Tigers in Littlejohn Coliseum [...]

Wisconsin (5-0) has not left the Kohl Center yet this season, but it will be much different environment in Cameron Indoor Stadium on Tuesday. It could be different outcome as well, considering the Badgers are undefeated after five home games. They pounded three puffcakes then destroyed Colorado by 26 and rolled past Georgia by 19. [...]

Northwestern (1-3) has won just once in four tries this season and the Wildcats will be one-for-five after visiting Charlottesville, Virginia. They beat Benedictine by 32, but in their other two home games the Wildcats lost to Stanford by 11 and most recently got bounced 73-67 by Brown. Virginia, arguably, is better than all of [...]

Minnesota (3-0) has a rather soft early-season schedule other than this matchup with Florida State, and the Golden Gophers are undefeated through three games. To their credit, however, they did go on the road to Iowa State in their most difficult of the first three games and the Gophers came away with the victory. We’ll [...]

Georgia Tech (3-2) has played fives games so far and the Jackets have been seriously tested in four of them, including coming up on the short end twice. Coach Paul Hewitt and company went down to UNC-Greensboro in the season opener and lost to Winthrop in the second game the Paradise Jam. The Jackets’ wins [...]

Apparently the Big 10 has nine lives.
The annual ACC-Big 10 Challenge is still going strong despite eight straight losses by the Big 10. That’s right; the conference has never come out on top in this event since its inception in 1999. Overall, the ACC is 48-27 in individual games.
In the early years of the Challenge, [...]

Iowa (4-2) kicked off the season with four straight wins over less than imposing competition, but things were not quite as easy for the Hawkeyes in the Invitational. After a 67-56 loss to Bradley in the opener, Iowa went down to Utah State by a 67-58 score. That leaves the Hawkeyes in the midst of [...]

The #1-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels struggled mightily with the Davidson Wildcats on Wednesday night in Charlotte’s Bobcats Arena. After forty minutes of back-and-forth scoreboard action in what was a borderline NCAA Tournament-type atmosphere, the Heels prevailed 72-68.
One various message boards and talk shows today the nail-biter begged the question—among many others—is Davidson that good [...]

Team Personality: Depth and athleticism. Memphis will run teams to death and make less-talented squads look like boys among men.

Their athleticism leads to more rebounds than one would anticipate looking at the size [...]
