In its second year with Kevin Stallings as head coach, the Panthers have not won a single game in conference play and entered Saturday’s home game against No. 1 Virginia with an 8-21 (0-16 ACC) record. With its first half performance against the Cavaliers, Pitt may have finally hit rock bottom. The Panthers went into the half trailing 30-7. Yes, Pitt scored only seven points in 20 minutes of action.

Not to mention, their former Point Guard, Sean Miller, just passed Rick Pitino as the most infamous basketball coach of all time.

If the old way of doing things is dying, that might be the best thing that could happen to the sport.

If I was in charge, I'd institute a mandatory redshirt for freshman with a 5 year window of eligibility. We'd see how interested coaches like Calipari really are with one and dones.

That’s bad. But, I could argue that the Delaware Blue Hens played the worst half in NCAA history this past week against Drexel. They were ahead by 34 at the half and lost in regulation.

Not at WKU where the Toppers just put a 22 point beat down on ODU before a sell out WKU crowd.

Watch teams in the Big West Conference.

Some of the worst basketball is played there.

Your favorite team might be playing a Big Worst school in a non conference game.

My take on basketball - give both teams 70 points, and play for two minuets.

Racket-ball.a large part of nba draft is foreign players...few draftees stick around very long anyway...the nba is 5 to 10 superstars...the rest are plug ins...all extremely talented but the league caters to stars..need a new league with teams that use teamwork...one and done is hopefully done...penalize a team for one and done player.forfeit all games year after..if those players are that good they dont need college ball...let em go directly to pros...
