NCAA March Madness GIF: Basketball to the Groin
In the past, we’ve seen athletes get hit in the groin by a number of objects, including baseballs, rugby balls, footballs, Aussie footballs, cricket balls, and even pucks. And now we can add basketballs to that list following yesterday’s first round NCAA Tournament match-up between UNLV and California, as Bryce Dejean-Jones‘ attempted save on a [...]

NCAA March Madness GIF: Colorado State Fan Looks Like an Actual Ram
This dude in a ram costume that appeared on television screens during CBS’s broadcast of yesterday’s first round NCAA Tournament match-up between Missouri and Colorado State is’d the actual mascot for the CSU Rams, but with such an uncanny resemblance to an actual ram, he probably should be. And he must have been a happy [...]

March Madness is here, which means we’ll be seeing plenty of Greg Gumbel and Ernie Johnson over the course of the next month. Are you excited? They seem to be, as they kicked off this year’s tournament with the following not-so-smooth fist bump prior to the start of CBS’s broadcast of today’s early slate of [...]

It’s crunch time, sports fans. You’ve got a little less than a day to get those NCAA Tournament brackets filled out. And if you need a little help making your selections, well, that’s what the President of the United States is for, right?

Robert Morris Upset Kentucky in the NIT and Celebrated Like National Champions (Video)
The Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball team had a rough year by their standards. They followed up their National Championship by going 21-11 overall and 12-6 in the SEC, and missing the NCAA Tournament. However, they were on the bubble for the Tournament. They finished ahead of Missouri in the SEC standings, and Missouri is in [...]

Let the Madness begin! The field for the 2013 NCAA Tournament has been selected, and you have approximately three days to fill out your brackets for most pools and contests.

Ole Miss Guard Marshall Henderson Gives Florida Fans the Gator Chomp (GIF)
Ole Miss isn’t exactly a college basketball powerhouse. However, what they lack in NCAA Tournament pedigree, they make up for with cocky shooting guards with a knack for getting under people’s skin. I am talking, of course, about Marshall Henderson, the most interesting player in the 2013 NCAA Tournament. This kid simply loves antagonizing people, [...]

Check Out this 360 Dunk from Tennessee’s Jordan McRae (Video)
Beyond Kentucky and Florida, and I guess (to a lesser extent) the underachieving Missouri, we don’t expect much from the SEC when it comes to basketball. Sure, there are a few other programs that were historically significant and are respectable now, like Arkansas and LSU. But this is a conference that exists for football and [...]

Here’s Why You Don’t See Many Gatorade Showers at Basketball Games (Video)
Most people give the 1985 New York Giants credit for popularizing (if not inventing) the Gatorade shower—that great American victory celebration in which a team dumps a cooler of the beverage on their coach. The Giants did it to coach Bill Parcels in ’85 after a big win over the Redskins, and ever since then [...]

Tough-as-Nails: Saint Mary’s Brad Waldow Has Tooth Knocked Out, Just Keeps Playing (Video)
I would never accuse basketball players of being soft. Basketball is a very physical sport, and to get the ball to the basketball you’ve got to endure a lot of hacks and elbows. So I’d classify high level basketball players as being pretty tough. That being said, very few of them are quite as tough [...]

Big East Brawl: St. John’s and Notre Dame Exchange Punches Late in Game (Video)
Do you like a good basketball fight? Well, that’s good. Last night in South Bend, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team hosted the St. John’s Red Storm.

New Rochelle Wins Crazy High School Basketball Game with Unbelievable 55-foot Buzzer-Beater (Video)
On Sunday, the New Rochelle High School boys basketball team played Mount Vernon for the New York State Section 1 Class AA championship. The Mount Vernon Knights, a perennial powerhouse in the state, were the #3 seed and thus the favorites over the #6 seed New Rochelle Hugeunots. However, it was the Hugeunots that emerged [...]

College Cheerleader Sinks Front-Flip Half-Court Shot (Video)
Small liberal arts colleges like William Carey University in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, don’t make sports headlines very often. The school of 4,000 students doesn’t compete in NCAA Division I athleteics, nor do they compete in NCAA Division II, or even Division III athletics. Rather, they compete in the NAIA and play in the Southern States Athletic [...]
