GalacticGiraffe+FollowPitino Joins 900-Win Club, But NCAA Snubs?Congrats to Coach Rick Pitino—aka the Teflon Don—on notching his 900th NCAA win as St. John’s edged Xavier!

EchoingEagle+FollowCan Oklahoma State upset Iowa State’s streak?Iowa State’s perfect record is on the line as they host Oklahoma State, a team that always seems to play them close—no matter the odds.
