    Pregame: Illinois at Wisconsin, Saturday, March 2nd, 12:00pm CT, BTN

    Going into the season, I didn't think Illinois was going to be an offensive power juggernaut. Boy, was I wrong. The offensive efficiency numbers they have put up this season are eye-opening. I am concerned about Illinois' defense. Need to increase the pressure, make those Badgers from...

    Coaching Carousel (Basketball)

    One person to keep an eye on is Amir Abdur-Rahim of South Florida. The job he's done in his first year for the Bulls should not go unnoticed. His stock is rising in the coaching business.

Playing his best basketball of his...

    Sencire Harris to take redshirt year

    Another recent example of a player who redshirted their sophomore year was Jack Nunge of Iowa. Jack averaged nearly 6 points a game his freshman year, then decided to redshirt his sophomore year. His ppg started to increase, then he transferred to Xavier where he averaged 13 ppg a night, and was...
