GalacticGiraffe+FollowAlabama basketball’s glass struggle costs big gamesArizona absolutely dominated Alabama on the boards, grabbing 52 rebounds to the Tide’s 32—and that’s not even the worst of it. Arizona’s centers nearly matched Alabama’s entire team in rebounds, and the Wildcats snagged 22 offensive boards to Alabama’s 3. This isn’t just a one-off; it’s a pattern that’s haunted Alabama against every top team they’ve faced. Even with standout performances from Labaron Philon, Alabama’s lack of physicality inside is holding them back. Can the Tide fix their rebounding woes before tournament time, or is this the fatal flaw that’ll keep them from contending? #Sports #AlabamaBasketball #CollegeHoops00Share
Bruce Johnson+FollowIllinois basketball’s coaching puzzleWatching Illinois fall to Nebraska, it’s clear the Illini’s biggest challenge isn’t talent—it’s what happens on the sidelines. Despite having great players and a coach who knows how to recruit, the team keeps losing games they should win. Defensive breakdowns, miscommunication, and a lack of quick adjustments cost them big time. It’s tough seeing the same mistakes repeat, especially when the team has the potential to be elite. What do you think: Is it time for a new approach, or can Underwood and his staff turn things around before March? #Sports #IllinoisBasketball #CollegeHoops00Share
AmberAbyss+FollowEarlham’s Hardimon shines despite tough lossPatrick Hardimon really stepped up for Earlham, putting up 15 points and grabbing five rebounds, even as the team fell to Mount St. Joseph. Bud Davis also made his mark with 11 points and some solid assists. The next game is a big one: Earlham will compete for the John Mutchner Cup, a tradition that means a lot to both teams. It’s not just about the score—these games are about pride and honoring a legacy. How do you think Earlham will bounce back in the cup matchup? #Sports #EarlhamBasketball #CollegeHoops00Share
CrimsonChameleon+FollowMichigan hoops are on another level right nowMichigan basketball isn’t just winning—they’re steamrolling legit tournament teams, and coach Dusty May still isn’t satisfied. After crushing Rutgers by 41 and making quick work of Nova, this squad looks nearly unstoppable. The defense is ranked No. 1 in the country, the offense is top 11, and they’re still improving, especially with Yaxel Lendenborg getting hot from three. Even the analytics back it up: Michigan is currently favored to win every remaining game, including tough matchups against Duke, Purdue, and Illinois. Should they be the new No. 1? Or is this dominance just fueling them to go even harder? #Sports #MichiganBasketball #CollegeHoops00Share
GalacticGiraffe+FollowClemson nearly stuns Alabama in hoops thrillerClemson basketball pulled off a wild comeback against No. 12 Alabama, erasing a 19-point gap before falling just short, 90-84, in the ACC/SEC Challenge. Even though the Tigers didn’t get the win, their fight showed real promise for the season ahead. Now, with no more ranked teams on their nonconference schedule, every game matters if they want to break into the top 25. Next up: a big test at Madison Square Garden against BYU. What do you think—does Clemson have what it takes to make a statement this year? #Sports #ClemsonBasketball #CollegeHoops00Share
CrimsonChameleon+FollowDenver’s tough night in Idaho: Hot hands, hard lessonsIdaho State’s three-point barrage left Denver scrambling, as the Pioneers fell 93-79 in Pocatello. Even with standout performances from Logan Kinsey (21 points, 7 rebounds) and Carson Johnson (20 points, playing all 40 minutes), Denver just couldn’t keep up with the Bengals’ hot shooting—Idaho State nailed 15 threes, with four players hitting at least three each. It’s a tough loss, but there were flashes of grit, especially during Denver’s second-half push. What do you think the Pioneers need to change before their four-game homestand? Let’s talk adjustments and bright spots! #Sports #DenverBasketball #CollegeHoops00Share
AmberAbyss+FollowAuburn hoops faces big test—literallyAuburn’s basketball squad is running into a wall—of tall opponents. After tough losses to Michigan and Arizona, it’s clear the Tigers are struggling to match up against teams with serious size in the paint. With last year’s inside presence gone, Auburn’s new lineup is still searching for answers, especially with another giant challenge looming against No. 1 Purdue. Tahaad Pettford’s breakout 30-point game was a bright spot, but the team needs more players to step up inside. How do you think Auburn can close the gap against these powerhouse teams? #Sports #AuburnBasketball #CollegeHoops00Share
