College Hoops Season 2025-26

We have discussed them a lot recently, but Nebraska is facing a top 15 Illinois team at 3 PM CST on Peacock/NBC Sports Network. This might be the Whitest Power 5 matchup of the year. As I and others have already said, Nebraska starts 4 Whites and their top 2 guys off the bench are also White. Illinois starts 3 Europeans, and all four of their bench players in the rotation are either American Whites or Europeans.

I knew about #23 Nebraska but #15 Illinois has slipped under my radar. Gonna try my best to tune in. It's a win/win no matter the outcome!

Lipscomb University, with 4 gym rats and a jew in their starting lineup (and three other overachievers contributing off the bench with only one WGA!), is currently giving Duke all they can handle. the underdogs are up 4 with 5:00 left in the first half.

A pretty dark Texas Tech team gave Duke their first loss yesterday. The lone bright spot for Texas Tech was freshman guard Nolan Groves, who was +13 in plus minus in 13 minutes of game action yesterday - he will be a name to watch for the future. UNC big man Henri Veesar (formerly of Arizona) had 17 in a win over Ohio State yesterday. Dalin Hall (a BYU Transfer) had 20 points on perfect 8 of 8 shooting yesterday for Virginia. Iowa had a big win over Bucknell yesterday and were led in scoring by Alvaro Folguerias, who had 17. Purdue beat a ranked Arizona team by 28 with Braden Smith giving out 14 assists!

For today's action, Florida is currently up 13 in a pretty White friendly matchup with Colgate. If anyone wants a break from NFL football today, Notre Dame is playing at 2 PM EST, Clemson is playing at 3 EST, UConn and its two White starters are playing Depaul at 4:30 EST, Iowa State (starting 2 Whites) is playing at 6:30 EST, Gonzaga (starting 3 Whites) is playing Oregon at 6 EST, and very White Nebraska is actually facing one of the rare all White starting fives in North Dakota at 8 PM EST.

I haven't thought much about University of Virginia since the great coach Tony Bennett stepped away. Your mention of Dallin Hall, and UVA cracking the top 25, caused me to look into them further. Another team with a majority White starting lineup! The team's leading scorer is freshman forward Thijs De Ridder, who's averaging an excellent 15.1 ppg. The Belgian (a real one, not an invader!) seems to have a well rounded game, contributing on the glass and shooting nearly 40% from outside the arch. The 3rd White starter is freshman center Johann Grünloh who leads the team in rebound (7.3 per game) and blocks (2.7 per game). The German (a real one, not an invader!) 7 footer also contributes a solid 9.1 ppg. The Cavaliers should certainly be one of the more favorable teams in the new extended ACC (18 teams with many making no geographical sense).

Looking at some of the other top 25 teams in action yesterday, many were lead by White athletes as the "top performer".

#2 Michigan - Aday Mara
#4 Iowa State - Milan Momcilovic (up to over 18 ppg this year from 11; big jump)
#5 UConn - Alex Karaban
#13 Vanderbilt - Tyler Nickel
#15 Nebraska - Berke Büyüktuncel, triple-double! (most Cornhuskers game will have some White athlete leading them)
#23 Florida - Alex Condon
