Wrote about Purdue-Bama last night. Arguably no team more modern in CBB than the Tide—so it was ironic an old-school gameplan from the Boilermakers doomed them Thursday. Column: www.cbssports.com/college-bask...

The @cbssports.bsky.social team ranked the top 101 players in college basketball this season — with @boilerball.bsky.social star Braden Smith claiming the No. 1 spot and Purdue teammate Trey Kaufman-Renn checking in at No. 7. Full rankings: www.cbssports.com/college-bask...

My account has been zeroed out because it was beyond the date of collection and the only bills sent came 4.5 years later. Took many hours of calls, emails, and digging, but now resolved. Huge relief. Many many thanks to @norlander.bsky.social @summerbreeze0102.bsky.social & others for your help. 🙏🏽

Question for ppl smarter than me: I received a bill this week for a healthcare service provided in February 2021. I confirmed today it took four-plus years to process; it was not previously billed. Is there grounds to contest it? Wondering if this could vary by state, but I live in OK.

Round 2 of the NBA Draft today. Here’s a look at who holds the remaining 29 picks (as of now) and a look at my final mock draft of the cycle.

I did a 2025 NBA Mock Draft with @norlander.bsky.social and @kboone.bsky.social on the Eye On College Basketball Podcast. . Fun conversation. We made the first 30 picks.

Happy NBA Draft day! Here's my final two-round mock draft of the 2025 cycle. Projecting all 59 picks for tonight's draft: www.cbssports.com/nba/news/202...

There have been 8,315 men selected into the NBA in 78 years. None of them took as unlikely of a path as what Cedric Coward has walked. Big feature on an incredible guy who went from zero-star prospect, a terrible D-III team to first-round lock. It is a story without parallel in basketball history.

The final prospect ranks pubbed today @CBSSports. It is a consensus board combining all our team’s rankings and includes: 🤘🏽 Tre Johnson > Ace Bailey 📈 Carter Bryant into the top 10 ⬆️ Essengue finishing as highest-ranked INTL prospect Full top 100: www.cbssports.com/nba/news/202...

Spent an hour earlier today on CBS Sports Network breaking down my mock draft with @kboone.bsky.social and explaining out some of the process and why I've got certain guys in certain spots. You can watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6I0...

You’ll hear plenty this week about Khaman Maluach: the 7-foot-2 Duke big tracking to be a top-10 pick. Here’s more about Maluach the person: a South Sudanese refugee whose affable aura and love for life have captivated coaches, teammates — and the NBA. www.cbssports.com/nba/news/how...

First two-round NBA mock draft of the 2025 cycle for me post-Combine is a doozy — centered around a blockbuster mock trade that could shake up the lottery 👀) and some big help (literally) for three of the four conference finalists (👀👀) New at CBS Sports: www.cbssports.com/nba/news/202...

We did a full reaction show yesterday on #mockdraftMonday to @adamfinkelstein.bsky.social's latest mock draft post-Combine. We talked all 30 picks and landing spots on CBS Sports HQ. Catch it here: youtu.be/vaJvk-G7J4E?...

Mr. @adamfinkelstein.bsky.social and I did a full lottery mock on CBS Sports HQ earlier this week discussing best/worst fits for Cooper Flagg and some big movers and shakers post-NCAAT. Video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG6W...

The latest episode of the #NBADraft Notbook Pod is now live as @kboone.bsky.social and I break down our respective big boards. 📺🎧 youtu.be/3C4N7WZFVj4

Well, well, this is the coolest. I love that Brian Rosenworcel beamed in Bruce Pearl style from what looks like a 2005 Razr to keep the CBB theming alive as a way to pay homage to the diehards.

Finally got around to reading this gem from @bfquinn.bsky.social, and whew. Whew. What a story. www.nytimes.com/athletic/607...

The CBS Sports All-Transfer Team — the five best and most impactful transfers in college basketball in 2024-25 — just published, led by our TOY (Transfer of the Year) JT Toppin of Texas Tech: www.cbssports.com/college-bask...

The price of talent is spiking to record levels—with hundreds of millions now at stake in CBB’s unregulated economy. Detailed reporting below on the teams spending 8-10 million+. One player’s on the hook after breaking his contract. A wide look at how we got here … and if there’s no going back.

Wrote about Braden Smith’s return to Purdue and how the Boilermakers are avoiding over-reliance on the transfer portal in the NIL era by developing from within + maintaining consistent roster continuity. www.cbssports.com/college-bask...

Good primer on what’s ahead for Masters Sunday from my friend, Kyle Porter, in his excellent Normal Sport newsletter. www.normalsport.com/newsletter/t...

There is a 66.3% chance I’m about to have an incredible Sunday.

My NBA mock draft is updated with a look at the post-NCAA Tournament landscape led by Florida star Walter Clayton Jr. Also in the 🔮 … Cooper Flagg ➡️ Utah VJ Edgecombe ➡️ Philly Jase Richardson ➡️ San Antonio Full first round: www.cbssports.com/nba/news/202...

FLORIDA is the unanimous No. 1 team in the final AP Top 25 poll of the CBB season. First time it is No. 1 in the poll since 2013-14. 1. Florida 2. Houston 3. Duke 4. Auburn 5. Tennessee 6. Alabama 7. Michigan St. 8. Texas Tech 9. Maryland 10. Michigan

Greatest Final Four ever? Greatest Final Four ever! www.cbssports.com/college-bask...

Florida shut down Johni Broome and saved its season Saturday with a swarming second-half defensive effort vs. one of the most dynamic offensive players in CBB. Here's how they did it. www.cbssports.com/college-bask...

A very good read by @statsbywill.bsky.social ahead of tonight's Final Four action in San Antonio. Quick ingestion of this a surefire way to make yourself look smart in front of friends/fam tonight. statsbywill.substack.com/p/2025-mens-...

I ranked every coach remaining in the men’s NCAA Tournament Sweet 16. 3-16 was hard to decide on. No. 1 and No. 2 were not. www.cbssports.com/college-bask...

Sunday’s overnight winners and losers recapping the second round centers on the historic trajectory Duke is on. Plus … — the Big East bows out — Florida survives a scare from the champs — Mark Pope gets UK into S16 in Year One More: www.cbssports.com/college-bask...

Rick Pitino talks about why RJ Luis Jr., the leading scorer for St. John's and the Big East Player of the Year, did not play the final 4:56 in today's loss to Arkansas:

There will be more members of the Pitino family coaching in the second round of the 2025 NCAA Tournament than total number of ACC teams. And in a year when the ACC has quite literally never been larger.

Norfolk State coach Robert Jones said this week he was angry about the big point spread vs. No. 1 seed Florida in Round 1. After losing by 26 (and covering the spread), he led with this zing to open his postgame presser:

The ACC fell on its face to open the NCAA Tournament and the SEC is out the gates with a stumble. Here’s a look at our winners and losers from the first round of March Madness on Thursday: www.cbssports.com/college-bask...

For posterity. 📌 Good luck, and happy March Madness to all who celebrate 🎊 www.cbssports.com/college-bask...

Hey, you. Go fill your bracket out. And use my bracket — or any of our CBS team’s brackets below — as a cheat sheet. Trust me. EXPERT BRACKETS 👇🏽 www.cbssports.com/college-bask...

Michigan as a 5 seed makes no sense. www.cbssports.com/college-bask...

HERE IT IS IN ALL ITS BEAUTY. THE 2025 NCAA TOURNAMENT BRACKET.

Here's a look at total bids by league for the 2025 NCAA Tournament. SEC leading the way with 14.

Fourteen SEC teams made the 2025 NCAA Tournament. FOURTEEN. That's a new record for most teams from a single conference to make March Madness. Take a bow.

Dickie V cried on the broadcast as Duke-Louisville came to an end. Hard to watch and not cry, too. He's had a rough couple years, and it's great to see him enjoying what he loves most. Cancer sucks.

Unbelievable scene in Charlotte: Duke star Cooper Flagg is being taken by wheelchair for further examination after suffering an apparent ankle injury in the first half vs. Georgia Tech.

Navy’s second leading scorer ejected two minutes into the Patriot League championship game for going below deck. Direct hit with the submarine torpedo shot (Thanks to @voltcortez.bsky.social for the heads up!)
