Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (02/14/18)

Old habits die hard. Actually, we don't like to make changes to our rankings for change's sake. So while the conventional pollsters were quick to drop certain teams--and boost others--based on the result of a single game, we're don't generally have such knee-jerk reactions. Because, when we've had them, we've ended up looking bad for […]

Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (02/07/18)

  We get bored easily. It's one of our many flaws. It leads to a lot of channel-surfing, and a lot of unfinished business. And so, we were a bit concerned as we put together our Top 10 for this week. There are not a lot of changes, at least at the top, and that […]

We've all heard the quotes from players, coaches and media types alike. You know, the ones that begin, "Good teams..." "Good teams win close games." "Good teams win when they aren't playing well."

We doubt Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. cared much about college basketball--not that that tarnishes his legacy with us in any way. But as the nation observed his life and legacy this week, we saw a number of games that provided evidence of the sport's appeal for the rest of us--and that led to some […]

Normally, we would welcome the change a New Year brings--and we were particularly looking forward to ringing in 2018.

First, it was exams. Then, it was the winter break. Now, we're sure the Trump administration will do something to disrupt the college basketball schedule--and thus our schedule.

As a fan, we love upsets. Who doesn't want to see David beat Goliath? Or the glass slipper fit Cinderella? Sports writers, that's who. Upsets mean more work for us. Last-minute comebacks lead to 11th-hour rewrites. Your friendly neighborhood sports reporter is the only one leaving the building unhappy following an "instant-classic" win. We know: […]

We can hear Mick's words in our heads as we write this, "When the days get shorter and the nights get long..." No, the Stones' tune "She's So Cold" isn't about December--not exactly--but the line does carry a certain weight now that, well, the days are getting shorter and the nights longer, not only for […]

Final Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (4/4/17)

If you're like us, you spend much of March focusing on the winners and losers in the NCAA Tournament. Or heck, even the NIT. But, to be sure, the real winners in college basketball are those players chosen in the NBA Draft. With that in mind, for our final rankings of the 2016-17 season, we'll […]

Just call us the anti-"Wizard of Oz" poll because, no matter what Villanova, the putative Number One team in most polls, does we're still going to be in Kansas, or at least in the Jayhawks' camp, until they give us a reason to jump off their bandwagon. So, with that in mind, click your heels, […]

Fantasy College Basketball CBB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (2/6/16)
