  • Ranking the Top 25 Players in College Basketball One Month Into the 2019-20 Season
    12/11/2019 ESPN.com - Ranking the top 25 players in college basketball one month into the 2019-20 season ESPN.com: Men's College Basketball [Print without images] Wednesday, December 11, 2019 Ranking the top 25 players in college basketball one month into the 2019-20 season By John Gasaway ESPN.com Times have changed since the preseason. The last time we ranked the top 25 players in college basketball, we thought Michigan State might stick at No. 1 for a good long while, Florida would be a fixture in the top 25 all season and Virginia would be great on defense but would struggle to make shots. Fine, we were spot-on with that last bit. The point is, the presence of actual basketball games changes our evaluations of teams and players dramatically. It's therefore high time that we update our rankings of the game's top 25 players. Just a reminder, these are rankings based on college performance, and not a mock draft. Here are the top 25 players of 2019-20 so far: 1. Markus Howard, Marquette Golden Eagles Thank you, Markus Howard, for giving us a fascinating controlled experiment on how NBA potential or its perceived lack can influence our perception of college performance. For instance, Howard is a 20-year-old senior listed at 5-foot-11. The next level, understandably, would prefer to risk a first-round pick on someone 18 months younger and five or more inches taller. So be it, yet here is Howard having a college season for the ages.

  • Joey Brunk: a Big Man with a Big Heart
    Joey Brunk: A Big Man with a Big Heart By Sarah Bahr JO-EY! JO-EY! Twenty-one-year-old Butler men’s basketball center Joey Brunk has just checked into the game, and the cheers from the 9,100 fans packing Hinkle Fieldhouse are thunderous. "He’s so likeable that people cheer like crazy just when he enters the game,” Butler Associate Athletic Director John Dedman says. “Luckily Nate [Fowler] understands that fans aren’t cheering that he is going to the bench.” Brunk pushes a soft, loose wave of what Twitter users have called the “golden mane” and “the best hair in college basketball” away from his face, a grin peeking through his Matthew McConaughey-inspired beard and mustache, and steps to the line. Swishes the free throw. Tonight, he can’t miss.
