On typical Fridays of yesteryear, sports fans would be dissecting brackets over the water cooler. This year, we’ll have to settle for the classics.

The 2019-20 college basketball season ended abruptly. But that doesn’t mean we can’t look ahead to next year and the teams that should be in the Top 25.

CBS Sports and Turner Sports will be paying all technicians and utility workers, including freelancers, who were slated to work during March Madness.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft said he loves Tom Brady “like a son” and expressed sadness the QB saying he’ll continue his career with another team.

were ready to examine six mid-major teams that were most likely capable of staging bracket-busting upsets.

Rick Pitino, a Hall of Famer and national title-winning coach, on Saturday accepted a job as new men’s basketball coach at Iona College.

Lawmakers in the Florida Senate voted 37-2 to pass a resolution Friday that proclaimed the Seminoles (26-5) as “champions by default.”

The Ivy League has cancelled its basketball tournaments due to coronavirus fears. Yale and Princeton will get the respective men’s and women’s berths.
