High Point men's basketball coach Alan Huss is stepping down and will rejoin Greg McDermott's staff at Creighton, where he will be named head-coach-in-waiting, sources told ESPN.
In the immediate aftermath of Michigan State's second-round win over New Mexico last weekend, head coach Tom Izzo was asked during his on-court interview for any thoughts about the forthcoming matchup with sixth-seeded Ole Miss in the Sweet 16. Izzo, who was previously unaware that the Rebels had beaten third-seeded Iowa State to advance to the South Regional, quickly harkened back to the 2019 Final Four and his matchup with Texas Tech, another team coached by Chris Beard, who is now the head man at Ole Miss. That night, the Red Raiders knocked off Michigan State, 61-51, to reach the national championship game. Beard's group played ferocious defense to limit the Spartans to just 31.9% shooting and force them into 11 turnovers. The effort and intensity impressed Izzo and stayed with him, so much so that he told the sideline reporter he expected more of the same when Michigan State faced Ole Miss on Friday night for a berth in the Elite Eight.
New Mexico transfer Donovan Dent, the best available player in the transfer portal, announced his commitment to UCLA on Friday.
Based on the commentary I have heard and read after the first weekend of the men's NCAA tournament, fans have a lot of opinions on the state of the tournament — and the sport.
Geoff Schwartz and Chris "The Bear" Fallica give their best bets heading into the Sweet 16. Hear why the guys are interested in the Duke Blue Devils' team total over 81.5 against the Arizona Wildcats.
There will be a father and son in the Big East, and they're both named Pitino!Richard Pitino, the son of St. John's head coach and Hall of Famer Rick Pitino, is leaving New Mexico to take the same position at Xavier, sources confirmed to Fox Sports on Tuesday night.After the 42-year-old took New Mexico to back-to-back NCAA Tournaments, beating Marquette this year in the first round after a 26-7 regular season, Pitino increased his stock significantly and was in the mix for both the Villanova and Xavier positions.Musketeers athletic director Greg Christopher was enamored by the upside of Pitino, who tried the high-major route at Minnesota but was let go in 2021 after eight seasons on the job. Going to Albuquerque led Pitino to reignite his career, going 88-49 over the last four seasons, winning the Mountain West Tournament in 2024 and charging the program to a regular-season title this year.This move only adds to the family atmosphere and tradition of the Big East. The fact that we will see at least two (and perhaps three) showdowns between Rick and Richard Pitino is phenomenal for the league and its storylines. Father has outdone son in their four meetings, with Rick owning a 3-1 record, including St. John's beating the Lobos this past November.But Richard was well in position for a high-major job in this cycle. After Villanova did not extend an offer to him despite being very much in the mix – with Maryland's Kevin Willard and a mystery candidate out there for the Wildcats – Christopher extended the offer to Pitino. And now he's heading to the state of Ohio to take over a Xavier program that has been a staple in the NCAA Tournament the majority of the last two decades.
Xavier is expected to hire New Mexico's Richard Pitino as its next head coach, sources told ESPN on Tuesday night.
Chalk continued to reign supreme in this year's NCAA Tournament as Sunday's action produced just a single victory by a lower-seeded team: sixth-seeded Ole Miss, which upended the undermanned and third-seeded Cyclones of Iowa State. But the games themselves were thrilling — most of them anyway — with a handful decided by single digits and one coming down to a fadeaway jumper at the final buzzer. The stage is now set for a heavyweight Sweet 16 featuring big brands and blue bloods across the bracket.
