Pitt Panthers Rise as ACC Sleeper | College Basketball News

Jon Rothstein is buzzing about the Pitt Panthers as his top ACC sleeper, ranking them ninth in his preseason poll — a massive leap from last year. Despite a disappointing post-tournament slump since their 2023 NCAA run and losing nearly the entire roster, Pitt’s fresh start features high-potential newcomers like Nait George and Baye Ndongo, with Jalil Bethea poised for big things. With just one returning player, Macari Moore, Coach Jeff Capel faces the ultimate challenge: building chemistry fast in a transfer-heavy, talent-rich squad.

TBT Alumni Game Turns Violent | College Basketball News

The TBT exploded last night as Wichita State’s Aftershock clashed violently with Kansas’ JHX Hoops in a brutal alumni bracket showdown—complete with multiple ejections, a post-game brawl, and social media chaos. A second-quarter fight between Mario Chalmers and Rashard Kelly left both teams down to six players, and the drama continued after Kansas’ game-winning shot with another brawl that injured a player and a staff member. Wichita’s Marcus Keene faced backlash for taunting on social media, and suspensions loom. Still, JHX Hoops advances to face their 2012 NCAA title rivals in the championship—hopefully without the fists this time.

Briles’ Offense Could Transform South Carolina | College Basketball News

Kendal Briles is poised to ignite South Carolina’s offense after a proven track record of rapid, explosive improvement at every stop — from FAU and Houston to FSU and Arkansas. His first-year “bump” consistently boosted yards, points, and efficiency while slashing interceptions, even if TCU’s 2023 season was hampered by roster turnover. With QB LaNorris Sellers and WR Nyck Harbor — who calls Briles’ system “fun” and playmaker-friendly — the Gamecocks are primed for a major leap from last year’s SEC-low scoring woes. Briles’ history of unlocking big individual stats suggests this offense could explode — and the question now is whether he can replicate that magic in Columbia.
