We just crowned another champion. That makes 26 this century. We are a little over a quarter of the way through this century, and we have seen some dominant teams cut down the nets. We've seen a few generationally good teams fail to win the title (Kentucky in 2015 comes to mind). Some teams tried […]

Eight teams have advanced to next weekend. We have eight more to go! The Friday games were all chalk once the officials got involved in the Kentucky game. Utah State disposed of an 8-seed, but they were favored in the game. Vegas knows. There are a couple of games that are likely to be high-scoring, […]

The 16-game extravaganza on Thursday leads to eight games today. These are 16 solid teams. We had some fun upsets, some would-be upsets until the officials got involved, and some wall-to-wall blowouts. Those should be less frequent in these eight games, but honestly, I think I only see one game that could be a blowout. […]

Yesterday's monster slate was a lot of fun! Are you back for more? I'm ready! We have one more big slate to go before they get progressively smaller to close the season. This is like Christmas Eve and Christmas morning to me. We are on to the Christmas morning portion of the program. You have […]

The NCAA Tournament seedings are usually a hotly contested topic from the time that the bracket drops until someone cuts down the nets. Some of these are based on how teams finished. Some are based on metrics. Before we go too off the rails about seeding, it is worth noting a few rules that the […]

Today is the real start of the NCAA Tournament, and the largest slate of college basketball games you will ever find. It only happens twice a year, on the first two days of the NCAA Tournament. This is like Christmas Eve and Christmas morning to me. I cleaned up some NIT slates to build some […]

We are on the eve of the greatest four days of sports on the planet. None of my ranked teams missed the NCAA Tournament. The perfect run for the Miami Redhawks was spoiled in the quarterfinals of the MAC Tournament. Some are disappointed with the draw in a "play-in" game, but why? Dayton is right […]

The field of 68 is finally out, and we are on the brink of the four greatest days in any sport in any country on any continent. The NCAA Tournament is an entirely different animal, and the first four days of this behemoth are the most fun days you'll have watching sports, whether it's by […]

There was more chaos to end the regular season, but one team from tiny Oxford, Ohio, refuses to lose. No matter what happens in the conference tournament, the 2025-26 Miami Redhawks will be a story told for generations. 2020-21 Gonzaga was the last team to go undefeated in the regular season. It lost in the […]

Every team on the list except UConn has two regular-season games left. Conference play has wreaked havoc on teams in nearly every conference, yet we still have this one team from Oxford, Ohio that just refuses to lose. No matter what happens from here on out, the 2025-26 Miami Redhawks will be a story told […]

There are only two weeks left of the regular season. Where did the season go? I have a theory. Back in the "old days," college football ended during the first couple of days of January. College basketball took center stage for the entirety of the conference season. All was right in the world. Now with […]

One of the two remaining undefeated teams fell this week. As with the ones before them, Arizona lost both games last week. What is it with losses coming in pairs for undefeated teams this year? We crown a new top team this week and have some more shakeups throughout the rankings. Let's see how far […]

This is the last big-time college basketball slate that we have before Christmas, so Happy Holidays to all of you! I will still be around on X or in the RotoBaller Discord to answer any questions about college basketball or college football. If not, our next scheduled article is for December 29, when most teams […]

Three college football playoff games can't possibly keep us occupied all day. Not when we're used to watching around two dozen per day. We can fill the void with college hoops! DraftKings has split up the 20 major games across three slates. We'll give the rundown on all three. We've got some big names and […]

Tonight, we have one big slate that even includes the early game. It may only be because Duke is involved, but we'll take it. We have a couple of big matchups like Louisville and Tennessee, with other top-10 teams in action. Duke, Kansas, BYU, and UConn are all on this star-studded slate tonight. We'll provide […]

With college football's regular season over, it's time to get some college basketball back on here! Bowl season starts today, but there are only three games. We have tons of college basketball on! DraftKings has created three separate slates for college basketball Saturdays this year. I'll give the rundown on all three of them! We've […]

It's a small but mighty night of college basketball DFS on DraftKings. BYU, Michigan, Villanova, Illinois, Indiana, Florida, Connecticut, and USC all take the court. With only seven games, you know that we have some great matchups. We'll provide you with the core pieces to build a cash or GPP lineup. Then, we'll have some […]

With college football's regular season over, it's time to get some college basketball back on here! There are only five college football games today. We have plenty of marquee hoops matchups to keep you occupied! We've got some big names and some great matchups today. We'll go through all of those for each slate. We'll […]

With college football's regular season over, it's time to get some college basketball back on here! It was a fun opening night of the ACC/SEC Challenge with a little Kansas/UConn thrown in for good measure. What will the second day of the challenge have in store? We've got some big names and some great matchups […]

With college football's regular season over, it's time to get some college basketball back on here! What better way to start than the opening night of the ACC/SEC Challenge? We've got some big names and some great matchups today. We'll go through all of those for each slate. We'll give you the core pieces with […]

It has been a wild few months on the college basketball scene and hopefully, I've helped you come out of this DFS adventure ahead of where you came into it. It was a fun ride that comes down to an intriguing matchup that most never really planned on. It was supposed to be Duke and […]

I wish DraftKings would have just made this an all-day affair by adding the NCAA Tournament Final Four in with the semifinals of the Crown Tournament. We have four solid teams in this field. Three of them were in serious discussion for an NCAA Tournament bid. As with the NCAA Tournament games later in the […]

The Final Four gets underway in San Antonio with the most loaded four teams we've ever seen in the final weekend of the NCAA Tournament taking the court today. All four teams are top-10 in single-season KenPom ratings, which have been around for 30 years. We are past the point of "good matchups." They simply […]

The stage is set. Duke, Houston, Auburn, and Florida - all No. 1 seeds - will compete at the Final Four this Saturday in San Antonio. Tip times and broadcast info are below. Florida vs. Auburn - 6:09 pm ET on CBS Duke vs. Houston - 8:49 pm ET on CBS It's no secret that […]

We're back with the semifinals from the other side of the Crown Tournament bracket, but we also have the NIT Championship tonight between Chattanooga and UC Irvine. With three good matchups, we must pick the few spots that stand out. We had a good lineup last night with the Georgetown value and Boise State high-end […]

The inaugural Crown Tournament has had a few clunkers in it, but how about the Butler-Utah and Georgetown-Washington State games? UCF and Oregon State were one of the better games I've watched in the last six weeks. There is excitement to be found in the desert while we wait patiently for the most loaded Final […]

If you were wondering why the NIT does not have many high-major teams, I present to you the inaugural College Basketball Crown event from Vegas. Eight of the biggest NCAA Tournament snubs sacrificed another home game or two for a trip to Vegas and a chance at a massive NIL pool. I'm interested to see […]

Half of the Final Four is set. The other half will be decided today. The matchups today are expected to be close. Yesterday, we had one good game and one clunker. If you followed the Vegas odds, that was slightly better than expected. We need to find some players who play big in big situations. […]
