The Stan Sheriff Center is the kind of building that can turn a conference game into a possession test by the second media timeout. Hawai‘i comes in 21-7 overall and 13-5 in the Big West, still chasing the top of the league, and the home profile has been overwhelming at 15-2. UC Riverside arrives 10-21 […]

Sam Houston (21-8) shows up in Newark playing like a team that knows exactly how it wants to win games in March: speed, force, and repeatable shot volume. Delaware (9-20) is walking in with a narrower script—slow it down, let the two-guard offense breathe, and pray the glass doesn’t turn every stop into a second […]

Stabler Arena should feel like a bracket building tonight. The Patriot League tournament finally stops being theory and turns into a single-elimination night where one bad ten-minute stretch ends a season. The No. 2 seed Lehigh Mountain Hawks host the No. 10 seed Holy Cross Crusaders at 7:00 p.m. ET on ESPN+, with Lehigh trying […]

Enterprise Center gets a proper one-and-done opener here—No. 8 seed Southern Illinois Salukis vs No. 9 seed Drake Bulldogs, with Belmont waiting in the quarterfinals and no runway for a slow read. Arch Madness opens with a classic Valley tension: a shot-volume team trying to survive its own volatility against a pressure-and-glass team that can […]

Harry Styles has spent the years since Harry’s House and the end of Love On Tour doing something very few pop stars at his level ever really do: stepping out of the churn. There was no constant drip of new music, no endless promo cycle, no sense that he was rushing to keep the machine […]

The return of Steve Carrell to a marquee role on prestige television! It’s as welcome to the HBO-viewing public as spring is to the deeply-wintered. Rooster is HBO’s new 10-episode comedy set on a college campus. Steve Carell plays Greg Russo, a successful fiction author who gets pulled into academia—and deeper into his adult daughter’s […]

Colorado State walks into Albuquerque playing its best offensive ball of the season, and that is what makes this number more interesting than the full-game spread. The Rams are 19-10 overall, 10-8 in Mountain West play, they have won seven straight, and they are 5-5 on the road. During that seven-game heater, they have scored […]

March in Jacksonville always comes with a little extra static, and this one should have it from the opening tip. It is an ASUN Tournament survival game at Swisher Gymnasium, with West Georgia entering 14-16 overall and 8-10 in league play, North Florida entering 7-24 and 5-13, and both teams fully aware that one clean […]

Providence comes home on a three-game surge with senior-night emotion, live Big East positioning, and the memory of that 105-104 overtime loss in Milwaukee still hanging over this matchup, while Marquette walks in trying to halt an offensive dip after a rough closing stretch. That combination gives this game a sharper edge than a normal […]

Laramie should feel tight from the jump, because this is the kind of Mountain West game where the room itself becomes part of the math. Nevada comes in at 19-10 overall and 11-7 in league play, still chasing the cleaner finish, while Wyoming sits at 16-13 and 7-11, trying to turn a strong home floor […]

North Alabama and FGCU walk into Jacksonville with no room for drift. This is the ASUN Tournament, the 12-seed against the 5-seed, and the whole point of the afternoon is survive-and-advance. FGCU got here at 14-17 overall and 8-10 in league play, North Alabama at 9-20 and 4-14, and the regular-season series already gave this […]
