Good things come in pairs, or so the saying goes. Well, on Friday, a pair of twins–Makhi and Makhel Mitchell–announced their intention to be a part of the Maryland basketball program. The twins’ commitment comes rather early, as both are just rising juniors in the 2019 recruiting class. Usually, we see elite prospects wait until late in their academic junior... Read More

Almost 95 percent of college athletes want to advance to the NBA, while only about one percent actually make it. Some players have good seasons (or a few games) and think they are league ready. While other are not, but still try their hand at the next level when they aren’t yet ready. Here are a few players (for one reason or another)... Read More

When discussing a redemption story, most want to only talk about the beginning and the end. They want to focus on that singular moment that caused “the fall” and jump straight to the completion of the comeback. What North Carolina did can not only be looked at as one of the greatest redemption stories in sports history, but shows just how much... Read More

Overtime, check. Game winning shot in a one possession game, check. A 111-game winning streak that lasted 865 days busted, check. It’s a very rare formula, but like Stanford back in 2014, the Mississippi State Bulldogs did what every team in the game had failed to do. Beat the Connecticut Huskies. It was a monumental night in the world of... Read More
