Jackson Shelstad could have a huge bounce-back season. Shelstad sustained a season-ending hand injury in December during his third year at Oregon, and entered the transfer portal when it opened on Tuesday after playing in just 12 games for the Ducks this past season. He averaged 15.6 points and 4.9 assists per game in those dozen games he played before the injury. He's an offensive engine who can create for […]

The Big Ten Conference amassed nearly $70 million from NCAA distributions that will be paid for team appearances and performances in the 2026 men's and women's basketball tournaments. That is by far the most among conferences, largely because the Big Ten swept the national championships — the Michigan Wolverines won the men's and the UCLA Bruins the women's — and had the Illinois Fighting Illini advance to the men's Final […]

John Blackwell could be one of the top scorers in the nation next season. After three years at Wisconsin, Blackwell entered the transfer portal. He averaged 19.1 points per game, while shooting 38.9% from 3-point range, this past season. He's elite at creating his shot off the dribble, or scoring off his teammates' penetration. Here are the three best transfer portal fits for Blackwell, who has one year of NCAA […]

Flory Bidunga could anchor the next championship defense. After playing two seasons at Kansas, Bidunga entered the transfer portal, and will look for another suitor for his junior season. At 6-foot-9, 220-pounds, Bidunga's a versatile forward who can switch out onto the perimeter and protect the paint. He averaged a Big 12-best 2.6 blocks last season, while improving his offensive game as well. Here are the three best transfer portal […]

As Tony the Tiger says, "They'rrre Michigan!" Wait, what? First, the Michigan Wolverines claimed their first men's college basketball championship in 37 years. Now, they're on the cover of a cereal box. Kellogg's Frosted Flakes revealed on Wednesday that it's selling a limited-edition Michigan championship-themed cereal box, according to WXYZ Michigan. There's no cereal inside, rather it's a box to commemorate the triumph. The Wolverines beat the UConn Huskies on […]

The No. 1-seeded Michigan Wolverines took home their first national title since 1989 after defeating the No. 2-seeded UConn Huskies 69-63. What made this Wolverines team merely unstoppable was their strategic use of the transfer portal and NIL. In Dusty May's second year leading the program, his starting lineup, composed entirely of first-year transfers, scored 90 points in five consecutive games leading up to the title game. In a world […]

Michigan is No. 1 in the final Associated Press Top 25 men's college basketball poll for the 2025-26 season after winning the program's first national championship in 37 years. The Wolverines (37-3) claimed all 57 votes in Tuesday's poll in the third year the AP has released its final rankings after the completion of the NCAA Tournament. Michigan beat UConn 69-63 in Indianapolis on Monday night to complete the winningest […]

Shortly before the NCAA Tournament Championship Game tipped off on Monday night, a BetMGM customer decided to get involved. Like, really involved. Four bets totaling $325,000, all on Michigan, at various point spreads vs. UConn. The bettor batted .500, but spread the money around in a way that still netted a high-five-figure payday. More on those wagers, a million-dollar miss and other notable bets from March Madness, MLB and elsewhere […]

The Michigan Wolverines got the best of the UConn Huskies in the 2026 NCAA Men's National Championship on Monday night, and now UConn has to say goodbye to one of its best players in recent memory: Alex Karaban. And Karaban's head coach, Dan Hurley, is forever grateful for the senior forward's contributions to the program. "This guy changed my life [and] the staff's lives," Hurley said in his postgame press […]
