This is the coolest walk-off play in basketball I've seen that wasn't actually a shot.

Georgia was up 4 points on Auburn with 1 second left in regulation. The game went to overtime. All-time collapse here 🤯

Holy Alex Condon double-dribble! The entire world seemingly missed this in real time.

Mirk is hilarious man.

There are 13 teams that are "under-seeded" based on comparing their actual team strength to their seed. They are great bracket value picks because these under-seeded teams advance 69% further than other teams with the same seed. Here's the teams you need to know 👇

The way CBS uses microphones on the basket for TV broadcasts is phenomenal. The same can't be said for a lot of ESPN broadcasts in my opinion. Take a listen and tell me which you prefer:

Here are the 10 teams that would likely be "under-seeded" in the tournament and provide a lot of bracket value if the bracket came out today 👇

There are only five teams I'd feel comfortable picking as the winner in my bracket. Digging into the efficiency numbers here, including some tough paths for a few teams 👇

I really like Maryland, Gonzaga, VCU, UNC, Colorado State, and UC San Diego in my bracket. Here's why:

The stat you need to be tracking during March Madness is the "Kill Shot". A team with more 10-0 runs than their opponent in a game wins 81% of the time. My analysis ⬇️

Cameron Boozer is having arguably the greatest season any player has had in the last 15 years outside of Zach Edey in 2024. Since 2009, Boozer's season ranks: - 2nd in BPR (behind Edey) - 1st in Box BPR Jeff Goodman and I analyze why Boozer has been so dominant 👇

My official bracket is done. Here's my analysis of all my picks:

It's only February, but Matt Norlander and I are predicting tournament outcomes for 15 notable teams. Let us know what we got wrong ⬇️

Baylor is the worst team in college basketball at playing up to elite competition, a big reason why they might miss the NCAA tournament. The scary trend? It's been like this for Baylor for the last three years 👇

Time for some updated Final Four picks! Will Warren and each give our current picks for the Final Four at this moment in time 👇

Having star power in March is important, but teams like Duke, Auburn, Alabama, BYU, and Gonzaga also have the high-level rotation players to put the pressure on any team for 40 minutes. My analysis 👇

Arizona is so consistently excellent. I explore with Fran Fraschilla why this team can win a national title 👇

In my opinion, Kentucky playing 10+ guys regularly isn't sustainable in the postseason. Here is my recommendation for how to trim Kentucky's rotation going forward. Kentucky fans, do you agree?

Tracking which teams play well against elite competition, and which teams are flopping in the biggest games. The Opponent Strength Adjustment metric can be found at ⬆️ Nebraska, Vanderbilt, Arizona, MSU ⬇️ Kentucky, Louisville

There are two teams that I'm buying low on today. Despite the public sentiment being against them, they have all the attributes you look for in a team who improve in March. I'm calling it, one of these two will make a Sweet 16 this year 👇

Johni Broome is undeniably the best player in college basketball this season, and the advanced stats back it up. What he's doing even rivals Zach Edey's advanced numbers for Purdue as National Player of the Year last year:

There's a stat that wildly separates Michigan and Arizona, arguably the top two teams in college basketball: game-to-game consistency. Full episode Michigan breakdown with Greg Waddell:
