I spent Valentine's Day in Green Bay, Wisconsin, following Doug Gottlieb. I learned a lot about the Phoenix's trying season and even more about the man taking on snow plows, team buses and LeBron James to try and turn things around. www.cbssports.com/college-bask...

St. John's dominance Sunday had to be as frustrating as it was familiar for Dan Hurley. It wasn't so long ago that his team was doing to others what St. John's did to his. But in college basketball, mountaintops can morph into marshes quickly. The Big East now belongs to Rick Pitino. Column:

Amazing photo of OU's Duke Miles from USATSI earlier today. You can see MULTIPLE fragments of his teeth coming out after diving for a loose ball. Incredibly, he returned to the game after this.

It's been almost 17 years to the day since Kelvin Sampson & Indiana split. Indiana hasn't really ever recovered since. As it readies for another search, it's natural to wonder about what could have been. But as Sampson told me this week, he had to leave in order to be who he is now. A great coach.

That was an old-fashioned butt-whooping from Purdue over Michigan in Mackey. Good response from the Boilermakers after a loss earlier this week to Ohio State. Big Ten will be Michigan State's to lose.

Name, Image and Likeness has ruined college sports. That's an opinion some folks hold. But can I tell you a story about Jaemyn and Brandon? It's a story originating at Ole Miss, where NIL money is being used to change a teenager's life.
