Duke? UNC? UConn? Ranking the best NCAA national champs over the past 20 years

Selection Sunday will be the first time we’ve been able to fill out a bracket in two years. A lot has changed since then, especially in college basketball, as it’s been as upside down as the rest of the world is. Juniors and seniors are the biggest draws this season, as only a few freshmen […]

The content you need: Jeff Van Gundy’s cat joins the ESPN broadcast booth

Ranking the greatest college basketball championship teams of the 2010s

There are a lot of words you could use to describe a college basketball season that has been wrecked by COVID-19, but the best one is “weird.” Besides the blue bloods of Duke and Kentucky missing the tournament, and North Carolina and Michigan State having subpar years with even lower seeds than usual, freshmen aren’t… […]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Feast your eyes on some really cool, and really ugly, green uniforms

As everyone knows, the St. Patrick’s Day tradition is to wear green. While Ray Ferraro and the 1989 Hartford Whalers did this for every road game, what can a sports fan pick out of the closet to garner the luck o’ the Irish and avoid the dreaded pinches for those who forget to don the […]
