Q/A with former NC Central guard, Larry McKnight

Posted on July 28, 2019 by Mat Mlodzinski Leave a comment

At 6-4, 227 Larry McKnight Jr. is the type of guard you want on your team in college basketball. He could score the ball, dish out dimes, and also pull down rebounds from the shooting guard position. Not only that, but he was a smart player, rarely committing more than three fouls in a game, and could be counted on

Q/A with 2020 recruit, Ja’Von Benson

Posted on July 24, 2019 by Mat Mlodzinski Leave a comment

At 6-feet-8-inches, Ja’Von Benson has been flying under the radar of most college basketball teams. The forward also weighs in at 220 pounds, and looks like the type of player who can body up anyone in his way and be a tough guy to box out for rebounds. However, past that, Benson also has the ability to score from the perimeter

Q/A with Robert Morris freshman Ngonadi Olisa

Posted on July 12, 2019 by Mat Mlodzinski Leave a comment

At 18-17, the Robert Morris Colonials shocked a few people last season, as they finished with an above .500 record, going 11-7 in conference play as well. Even more interesting? They did that without a single player above 6’8″. Now, as the Colonials return a decent amount of production from a year ago, they bring in incoming freshman Ngonadi Olisa,

Well, it’s finally official. The ‘Board of Trustees’ at the University of Connecticut have voted on allowing the UConn Huskies to re-join the Big East Conference (minus their football team). While this news doesn’t really come as a shock, it does come in a moment where not a lot of people were expecting it. After all, with Villanova taking home

Question 1: What are you most looking forward to for the 2019 NBA Draft? Ariel: Trades. Mike Conley was just traded, and Bradley Beal, Andrew Wiggins,and maybe even Chris Paul have had their names thrown in.

Featured image courtesy of SI.com. Last year, I tried this out for the first time. A Sweet Sixteen bracket of the best teams in the country – if leaving early wasn’t allowed. Today we look at the 2019 edition. First a few ground rules and changes. There will only be 8 teams in this tournament. I have seeded them 1-8

Eugene Omoruyi transferring to Oregon Ducks can mean two things:

Just last night, Rutgers transfer Eugene Omoruyi announced via his Instagram page, that he would be taking his talents to the west coast, to play for Dana Altman and the Oregon Ducks. Featured image originally of Rutgers Athletics. While this is obviously great news for Oregon, it could point in another direction as well – the fate of Shakur Juiston’s

Q/A with Valparaiso guard, Eron Gordon

Posted on June 3, 2019 by Mat Mlodzinski 4 comments

Can Eron Gordon help the Crusaders to a MVC title? He might just be the difference maker for that. Valpo basketball might be one of the most underrated teams heading into the 2019-20 college basketball season. The Crusaders went 15-18 (7-11) last season, but there are a lot of reasons that they will be heading in the right direction this
