Blue Devils Add Front Court Depth in Belmont Big Drew Scharnowski The Blue Devils, who have started to be linked in earnest to several targets in the transfer portal, have landed their first commitment in 6’9″, 230 lb Drew Scharnowski out of Belmont. Scharnowski is a skilled power forward who can slide to the 5, and if I were a betting man, I would imagine him in a backup role to Pat Ngongba as he comes to the Blue Devils with a similar skillset. As athletic as they come, Scharnowski is also a very adept passer who was one of just 5 players with 60%+ EFG, 17%+ AST, 15%+ REB, 5%+ BLK in the last two seasons—those players are Aday Mara, Tarris Reed, Pat Ngongba, Dylan Faulkner, and Scharnowski. Scharnowski averaged 10.7 points per game, 6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.3 blocks per game this past season. Ranked as the 30th prospect in the portal, he provides the Blue Devils with not only a defensive presence but a finisher in the paint who fits Duke’s switching defense.

Mike Malone to UNC: A Steady Hand or an Uninspiring Splash? North Carolina has made its move, hiring longtime NBA head coach Mike Malone to take over the Tar Heels program. It’s a decision that comes with a strong résumé but mixed initial reactions from a fanbase that had its eyes on some of the bigger names circulating during the search. While Malone brings credibility and experience, the question now becomes whether that translates to success at the college level in Chapel Hill.

Tommy Lloyd is out, Where does UNC look next? Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd is not going to UNC per CBS Sports. Arizona is a top-notch basketball program if not quite a Blue-Blood, but you can win there, and win big. The Wildcats may win the national title this year.

Duke's Dame Sarr On The Influx Of European Players Into College Basketball While speaking at the press conference before the Sweet Sixteen, Duke freshman Dame Sarr was asked several questions about his background, an Italian-born player who played in Barcelona before coming to Duke. He talked about how his time playing in Spain influences his play, the trend of young European players making the choice to come to the USA to play college basketball, and his familiarity with the NCAA Tournament prior to playing for the Blue Devils.

Duke's Jon Scheyer Is Where He's Supposed To Be During his press conference before Duke's Sweet Sixteen matchup against St. John's, head coach Jon Scheyer was asked about coaching against Rick Pitino, who was the opposing coach in Duke's famous game against Kentucky in the 1992 NCAA Tournament. After he confirmed that he was five-years-old when that game happened, Scheyer talked about the respect he has for Coach Pitino, but also said that he feels like he is where he belongs. He has worked hard, and everything he has done has led him to this moment, coaching against other Hall of Fame-level coaches for the right to advance to the Final Four.

Miami's Memorable Start To The Jai Lucas Era It was a year for the record books for the Miami Hurricanes men's basketball team in head coach Jai Lucas' first year on the job. After two seasons where Miami went 22-41 overall, the Hurricanes had an entirely new roster in 2025-26, and they were predicted to finish eighth in the ACC. The Hurricanes vastly surpassed all expectations. Miami finished the season 26-9, was the three-seed in the ACC Tournament, and made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament. Lucas got the team off to a hot start at 15-2, the best start and school record, and ended up tying the program record with 24 regular season wins. Miami's 19-win improvement from the 2024-25 season to the 2025-26 season tied an NCAA record for the biggest one-year turnaround. Look back at this memorable first season for the Miami Hurricanes under coach Jai Lucas.

Lack of Cinderella s may have explanation, and it s not just NIL NIL is widely considered the reason for the lack Cinderella’s in the last 2 NCAA Men’s tournaments. I have found that to be an incomplete reason for what we are seeing. @CBB_Central Kevin Sweeney does an excellent job diving into this topic in detail.

UNC Moves On from Hubert Davis While NC State Faces Uncertain Future with Will Wade The news out of Chapel Hill marks the end of an era that never quite found stable footing. Hubert Davis, a Carolina alum who embraced the weight of the program, is reportedly out as head coach despite a clear desire to remain in the role. By all accounts, Davis wanted to keep building, to prove that his vision could bring UNC back to consistent national prominence. But wanting to stay and being allowed to stay are two very different things at a place like North Carolina. The pressure, both internal and external, had been mounting for some time, and ultimately the administration made the decision many around the sport saw coming.

Miami's Jai Lucas has setup a great future for Canes SMU and NC State were eliminated in the first 4. Duke almost lost to Siena before righting their ship and getting to the Sweet 16. Virginia struggled with Wright State before they closed them out. We’ll exempt Louisville, as they played to their seeding and lost to a very good Michigan State. We all know about UNC’s implosion, too.

Should Clemson fans feel good or frustrated with basketball season? After Friday’s listless 67-61 loss to Iowa, Clemson’s season ends in the opening round of the NCAA tournament for the second straight year. Just like last year, the first half offensive performance doomed the Tigers. They scored 13 points last year against McNeese State, and this year just 25.
