Who is going and who is staying in the college basketball free agency season?
The Mid-Major Madness team put their heads together and voted on the five best mid-major players in the country for the 2012-13 season.
Creighton Doug McDermott and Gonzaga's Kelly Olynyk were both named to the AP All-American First Team on Monday. South Dakota State's Nate Wolters was voted to the Third team.
Nate Wolters never found his rhythm, and South Dakota State will be heading home after a single game in the NCAA Tournament. So ends the career of the captain.
From Charleston to Laramie, we bring the results from the first round of the CBI.
What is the biggest difference between this year's Michigan team and last season? Trey Burke is twice as good as he was when he faced Ohio. Now, can Nate Wolters do what D.J. Cooper and Bobcats also managed?
Expect a lot of home teams to succeed in the opening round of the College Basketball Invitational, but not all of them. Especially not Wyoming, who fell apart without Luke Martinez, but will play bonus basketball anyway.
The College Insider Tournament (also known as the CIT) tips off Tuesday with eight opening round games. Here is the complete schedule for the first two nights, featuring Evansville, Green Bay and Weber State.
The College Basketball Invitational field of 16 is set, with the teams battling for the right to play in a three-game series at the end of it all. Could North Dakota State be the best of the bunch? Here is the complete schedule.
There doesn't appear to be a lot of hope for the mid-majors competing in the South region. Not with a stacked top five seeds that should dominate each of the strong mid-majors that they will face. Doesn't mean we can't hope for three of them.
Nate Wolters showed why he is the best in the Summit League, doing more than scoring in leading South Dakota State to another NCAA Tournament.
Rumors that Matt Brown will be relieved of his duties as head coach at UMKC have gotten stronger. There may also be a front-runner for the position.
Can South Dakota State take home another Summit League title?
The Mid-Major 5 had a dominating lead entering Saturday, and could probably have survived player attrition over the next two weeks. Then Doug McDermott happened.
Mid-major players were well-represented among the Naismith Top 30. At least Bucknell's Mike Muscala finally got some attention, while another surprising name made the list. We run down the seven representatives.
We might not have had the benefit of a full slate of games, but the Mid-Major 5 extended its lead on the ESPN analyst picks. We break down the week, plus recap the full lineups.
Nate Wolters' injury was too much for South Dakota State to overcome, and the Murray State Racers did exactly that with the game's result.
Two games tipped off the Bracket Busters slate on Friday night. Who emerged with another victory to possibly improve their resume come Selection Sunday?
One assist. One measly assist. That is what kept Nate Wolters from a triple-double Wednesday night. It might also have kept the Jackrabbits from a win, and that is the real head-scratcher.
The Mid-Major Madness picks to compete with ESPN's Fantasy Draft are doing quite well, as in winning the whole darn thing. This was backed up by a strong Saturday performance. Yeah, #winning.
Western Illinois won its showdown against depleted North Dakota State, setting up the conference title showdown on Saturday against South Dakota State. Can the Leathernecks turn the tables on the Jackrabbits?
Digger Phelps, Jay Bilas and Jalen Rose each picked five players in an ESPN college basketball fantasy league. But they were doing it wrong. We give them the team they should have picked if they really wanted to win.
