The Note Hub: I Don’t Know ‘Bout You, but I’m Feeling 42
Where were you right after turning 18? Well, if you were Cooper Flagg, you were hanging 42 points in an ACC matchup against Notre Dame, breaking the all-time Duke record for most points scored in a game by a freshman. Since I’m neither 18, nor am I Cooper Flagg (what a surprise), it’s not even…

The Note Hub: January 6th
Happy New Year, everybody! That can only mean one thing – conference play in college basketball is now in full swing, so, no more cakewalks and beatdowns of bottom tier D1 teams for teams in high major conferences. This is when the NBA draft cycle truly gets going, and we began 2025 with Cooper Flagg…

Going Greek – The Best Sleeper in the 2025 Draft
It seems like just about every year, there’s an international player who wasn’t getting much draft hype in the preseason or early in the regular season but ended up rising up draft boards. Bilal Coulibaly, Tidjane Salaun, and Josh Giddey are some recent examples. Ousmane Dieng ended up going higher on draft night than most…

Anthony Robinson II: Scouting Report
NIL-era college basketball is a heck of a rollercoaster. One day you’re good, and the next day you’re not. One day, you’re flying under the radar at some mid-major school, the next day a high-major plucks you away from obscurity and, all of a sudden, you’re an NBA prospect. Missouri basketball has been on a…

Financial Fallacies- NBA Players Dilemma
The dream of becoming a superstar basketball player and making it to the NBA is ingrained into young basketball minds at an early age. The alone time on a local blacktop basketball court, counting down to yourself 3, 2, 1 (buzzer sound)! We’ve all done it, but reality sets in once a lot of us…

Who Will Coach at the U?
“I just didn’t feel like that I could successfully navigate this whole new world that I was dealing with.” – Jim Larranga ‘Twas the day after Christmas, and all was doom and dimmer. Then came Jim Larranga, who sent shockwaves through Twitter. Final Fours, Elite Eights, what a basketball mind. But now there’s a replacement,…

The Note Hub: Fears and Stirtz Keep Their Teams Undefeated
For this week’s Note Hub, I did set out a goal to put aside the top prospects of the 2025 NBA Draft – your Cooper Flaggs, Dylan Harpers, etc.—to focus on less heralded guys, some of whom will most likely return to college for the 2025-26 season. And then, Jeremiah Fears happened, delivering one of…

Royal Flush: Betting on Queen
Intro To be honest, I wasn’t very high on Derik Queen coming into the season. I had him in the 25 – 35 range. I wasn’t sure about how his game would translate to the NBA, especially since he is a big who wasn’t a floor spacer or much of a rim protector. Plus I…

The Note Hub: Jakučionis Rises, McNeeley Breaks Out
The gods of college (and NBA) basketball treated us with an amazing slate of hoops on Saturday, as if to prepare us for amazing basketball Saturdays when the conference battles kick in full gear after the New Year. Despite the excitement on the court, there was excitement off the court too, as AJ Dybantsa announced…
