Vanderbilt is legit. Vandy and Nebraska are top 10 teams. What a world. What a season of college hoops and its only January 7th.

A short episode to recap all the action from Tuesday night and my weekly college top 10. Which college team could go undefeated? Who are the biggest surprises, disappointments? Plus Wolves and high school roundup. Spotify, Apple and YouTube.

What a night of hoops! Minnesota upsets iowa to move to 3-1 in B10. Wolves thrash the heat. KU with a crazy comeback vs TCU. Texas Tech/Houston in a big 12 war. Duke pours it on in the 2nd half to beat Louisville. Plus Hopkins beat Maple Grove in prep boys.

Duke's energy is lacking big time. Im sure Khalifa hitting 4 3s wasn't in the scouting report but slow to adjust, defensive intensity is nowhere to be found. I still think Louisville is closer to Duke in the ACC than most think. Theyre doing this without their star frosh PG

Big one in the Southland tonight. Stephen F Austin at McNeese St. SFA'S defense will look to slow down McNeese and go up by 2 games in the conference.

New episode out now! Great discussion with current coach and former official Matt Askegaard. Stories, officiating & most importantly culture and transformational coaching. Parents, coaches alike should take a listen. Find it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.

Interesting things happening in Spokane....

2 nights after beating the Wolves the Hawks are up big at MSG vs the Knicks. NAW is having an awesome year! Happy for him.

Jamal Murray doing everything he can for the depleted Nuggets. 28 points at half. They need Gordon and Braun back healthy to weather these next 4 weeks w/o Jokic.

I'm sure Maryland loves the Big Ten $$$ but when Gary Williams had that program rocking in the ACC and they were playing Duke, UNC, Virginia...man I miss that version of Maryland basketball.

Fun night of college hoops. Big Ten, Big 12, ACC, WCC all with good games. Excited to see Sparty at Nebraska. Should be a great challenge for both teams! Nothing like late-night west coast games!

One big basketball wishlist item I missed: Fixing college basketball's eligibility and transfer rules! Yikes. But I did have some others to share. Check it out on YouTube, or podcast it on Spotify or Apple. youtu.be/LRLEGeJjivM?...

@mntimberwolves.bsky.social moved into 5th in the West. They welcome in the Knicks tonight for another important game. @adukemn.bsky.social and I gave our thoughts 1/3 of the way into the season in a recent podcast. Available on Spotify & YouTube too. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

One unintended benefit of doing this podcast is reconnecting with old competitors, friends and colleagues. Kevin McKenzie at Eagan Boys BB is one of those people i got to chat with recently. Take a listen or find it on Apple or Spotify. youtu.be/zdL6sGrGN9I?...

The margin of error is so small against the Thunder. Making 50% FTs is gonna be hard to overcome. But if any team is capable it's the Timberwolves.

Wolves without Jaylen Clark vs OKC. Listen to my latest pod w/ @adukemn.bsky.social talking about the stretch of games ahead of the Wolves.

New pod is out! Talking @mntimberwolves.bsky.social thru 1/3 of the season with @adukemn.bsky.social Great discussion on the bench production, Jaden's offense, what makes Rudy special and much more! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

My latest college basketball top 10 rankings. Michigan takes over the top spot. Iowa St rises and Purdue falls. Who did I leave out or rank too high? youtu.be/qIa9n95xiJs?...

Jaden McDaniels is currently 3rd in the NBA in 3pt % a quarter of the way through the NBA season. A testament to his work. Latest pod is available on Apple, Spotify and YouTube. youtu.be/l4J7hNP1sXk?...

My breakdown of the @mntimberwolves.bsky.social execution late vs Boston Celtics on Nov 29th at Target Center. More Ant + Ju/ Naz actions please. youtu.be/Q7dL9fT4JJw?...

Looks like good news on the injury front for Cottage Grove native, former Gopher, and current Maryland Terrapin Pharrel Payne. He suffered what appeared to be a gruesome injury but now sounds like he could play next week at the Players Era tourney in Vegas. 247sports.com/college/mary...

Minnesota struggling against one of the worst programs in D1. Only up 5 late in the first. Letting Chicago st outscoredl you in the paint isn't a recipe for success. At least they're making FTs tonight....

I did not see this result coming. This may be a quintessential Tom Izzo team. Beat the hell out of you down low, get out and run & move the ball in the halfcourt. If they're gonna make 35%+ 3s they're going to be tough.

Additional injury news: Kentucky coach Mark Pope told CBS Sports that Jaland Lowe is not going to play vs. Michigan State, either. Lowe is the starting point guard and remains out indefinitely due to a shoulder issue. Look for UK to go 10-deep tonight regardless.

NEWS: Darryn Peterson will not play for Kansas tonight in the big game against Duke in the Champions Classic, Bill Self told CBS Sports. A big blow: Duke is a heavy favorite and it robs the matchup of Peterson and Cam Boozer—maybe the top two 2026 NBA picks—of playing vs. each other.

Nice scoring night including 10-10 FT for Tre Holloman in NC State's win over a good VCU team. The Cretin Derham Hall grad and former Michigan St guard hit 6 straight FTs in the final 18 sec to seal the win for the Wolfpack.

I was at the St. Thomas men's basketball home opener and saw the new Lee & Penny Anderson Arena. Check out the latest podcast for my thoughts on the new $180M dual purpose facility. splashcitybasketball.buzzsprout.com

Wow. North Texas snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Missing the front ends of two 1and1s that could have sealed it. Then calling timeout when they dont have any. Watch enough basketball and you'll see wild stuff every night.

Getting my first look at Virginia Tech and Indiana. greek freshman standout Neoklis Avdalas is a classic big euro wing player. Lot of back cuts and basket cuts from the Hoosier. Old school Indiana fans will love it!

New episode out! Talking St Thomas' new $180M arena PLUS NBA fan experience. @mntimberwolves.bsky.social upgrades at target center and in technology, memorabilia, @nba.com TV viewing and more. Check it out on spotify, Apple podcasts or on YouTube. youtu.be/nZHSVLlWpGs?...

After getting punked in the 1st half Grant Mcaslund says no more. 3 post ups for jt toppin and a drive and finish for watts. The point was clear "we need to attack the paint and go at them"

Look out Kentucky has the louisville lead down to 10....

Florida and Michigan survive scares from three ACC. Tough loss for Steve Forbes and Wake. Illinois beating up Texas Tech. Louisville with a lead on Kentucky.

Double double alert for Luka Garza!

#10 Florida down at the half at home vs Florida St. #6 Michigan in a battle with Wake forest. Tonight is shaping up strong!

Dunk and a nice hook from Alexandria's Chase Thompson in the early minutes for @clemsonsports.bsky.social vs Morehead St.

HUGE win for Michigan St over Arkansas. I was doubting Sparty a bit this year but this definitely raises my eye brows. I'm high on Arkansas as a sleeper in the SEC race.
