We are one year away from people saying a 5-loss SEC team deserves a spot in the CFP over a G6 conference champion 🫪

4-loss SEC teams, rejoice!
The CFP and ESPN have agreed on a five-year, nearly $1.7 billion deal that will expand the field to 24 teams in 2027 with ESPN as its continued broadcast partner, sources told ESPN, a seismic move that also eliminates the lucrative Power 4 conference championship games.

There is something different about this team compared to the past 30 years and it is a breath of fresh air. What an impressive win last night. Wish I was covering this squad.
A historic night. Congratulations, Coach! @MattMajkrzak #GoHuskies

Northern Illinois UPSETS Dayton in OT! Fantastic win for @GoHuskiesMBB! 19, 6 & 8 for Max Weisbrod, 27 for David Douglas Jr. Another nice result for the Horizon League!

I just found the craziest schedule in college basketball history According to ESPN and every internet source I could find, Bethesda University is playing: - Hawaii in Hawaii tonight - Southern Utah in Utah tomorrow - Pepperdine in California at the exact same time tomorrow - Portland in Oregon on Sunday - UT Arlington in Dallas on Monday

This has been one wild game.
Grambling leads by three, 85-82, with 1:31 remaining. Tigers have the basketball out of the timeout.

Post-work activities secured after another long day.
Shootaround is in the books. Our season opener against Grambling in the @TheFieldOf68 Opening Day Marathon is just a few hours away!

Long list of schools that bully their student media. But calling the cops on them is next-level stuff.
For @testudotimes, @JudeWilkenfeld and I were outside Jones-Hill House trying to get players to comment. An athletics staffer took pictures of us, and a police dispatch was called for suspicious activity; a cop and 2 cop cars pulled up, and officers ID’d us and asked us to leave.
