Tubby Smith and the Gophers Celebrate Big Win Over Wisconsin by Dancing to Kesha (Video)
There are a few things I’d enjoy less than listening to music by Kesha. Smashing my thumb in the car door comes to mind, or maybe taking a big swig of spoiled milk. However, for the Minnesota Golden Gophers basketball team, apparently, listing to Kesha constitutes a reward for a job well done. I guess [...]

Duke-UNC Managers Game Was Won by a Three-Point Buzzer-Beater (Video)
Last night’s big game between Duke and North Carolina at the former’s Cameron Indoor Stadium was a good one. The #2-ranked Blue Devils brought out the best in the unranked Tar Heels, but pulled away just a bit at the end to close out a 73-68 victory. That wasn’t the only game involved in this [...]

Notre Dame vs. Louisville Provides Five Overtimes and a $18,000 Half-Court Shot (Videos)
Saturday was a little bit crazy at old Notre Dame.

Did Duke Fans Taunt NC State’s Tyler Lewis About His Dead Grandmother? (Video)
Duke basketball coach Mike Kryzewski is one of the classiest guys in sports. Unfortunately, that has (allegedly) not rubbed off on a handful of Duke students. On Thursday night, Duke hosted N.C.

Child Runs onto Court During Baylor-Oklahoma Basketball Game, Does Not Get Tackled by Security (Video)
We all know what happens to fans who run out onto the field or court and interrupt a sporting event: they get pounded. The only questions are how hard, and by whom? Usually it’s a security guard who does the honors. But you never know if that security guard is a former linebacker, or if [...]

Robert Carter Jr. Goes Down Hard After a Dunk (Video)
Some people don’t mind a little showboating in sports. Other people can’t stand it. But one thing I think we can all agree on is that, if nothing else, showboating has a time and place. For example, if your basketball team is playing a far superior opponent, in their gym, on national television, and you’ve [...]

Butler’s Rotnei Clarke Suffered a Scary Injury on Saturday (Video)
You normally associate scary neck injuries with sports like football and hockey—sports where huge men are supposed to slam into each other at high speeds.
