College basketball Power Rankings: Purdue and Zach Edey dominate, North Carolina drops out
Which brings us to the debate for No. 1 this week. We had already moved Houston past North Carolina, so the Tar Heels’ losses at the Phil Knight Invitational weren’t much of a factor in the discussion. But the incredibly impressive play from the likes of Arizona, Purdue and UConn (and Virginia last week) means […]

All the complaints about a quiet first week of the 2022-23 men’s college basketball season quickly disappeared over the past seven days, with blockbuster games seemingly every night, including the Champions Classic, Gonzaga at Texas and the Continental Tire Classic.

It’s great to have an All-American in Armando Bacot returning up front. Having Caleb Love, Leaky Black and R.J. Davis provides continuity and experience. The Tar Heels also bring in 6-9 recruit Jalen Washington and point guard Seth Trimble, providing lots of depth. Hubert Davis has a reason to smile and the Heels may add […]

Bob McKillop just wouldn’t have handled it well. Or maybe, his presence would have changed everything. We’ll never know. In the spring of 1972, following a stellar college basketball career at East Carolina and Hofstra, the 6-foot-1 guard defied the odds and signed a free-agent deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. On the cusp of realizing […]
