Not much was expected from the South Florida Bulls this year in terms of competing in the AAC or even qualifying for the NCAA tournament. With that being said, nobody expected this team to turn around and lose at home to South Carolina State either. Coming in with a 3-4 record, South Florida basketball needed a win to not only get back to .500, but to get their season back on the rails. In what to this point was arguably their most important game of the season, USF took down Austin Peay by a score of 60-51. While Austin Peay…

Just when you think the playoff picture can’t get any more convoluted, it gets even crazier. While the NFC is incredibly top-heavy, the AFC is in disarray from top to bottom. The difference between the New England Patriots at the top seed and the Miami Dolphins, who are 13th, is just three games. After being carted off Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson’s injury status is up in the air for the next few weeks. Will the Ravens drop out of the playoff picture, or will they be able to tread water until Jackson gets back?…

Once again, AAC basketball fell victim to a bad week. Seemingly every top team dropped at least one game, and plenty of teams have three or more losses before we’ve even hit conference play. With that being said, four teams still have just two losses and, with the way the season has gone to this point, have a shot at getting some love in the AP polls. It was another week that gave more questions than answers, and this will certainly continue to be a great conference to keep an eye on moving forward. With the holiday season approaching, so…

College basketball rivalries are as good as it gets for the season outside of the NCAA tournament. One of the most underrated rivalry games is between Xavier and Cincinnati basketball teams. Separated by just three miles, things get intense. If you have any doubts about how big this game is for both teams, take into account the fact that 10 years ago, the game was called early due to a massive fight breaking out. In the biggest college basketball game to this point in the season, the Cincinnati Bearcats fell flat on their faces. Led by Jack Nunge, the Xavier…

Coming into the season, little was expected of the Tulane basketball program. Not only has the program been historically bad, but they have to face some heavyweights in the AAC conference. Their season just got a heck of a lot tougher. On Saturday, the university released a statement saying that all men’s basketball activities are put on hold until further notice. Two Games Canceled for Tulane Basketball By suspending all Tulane basketball activities, it puts more than games on hold for the Green Wave. They also will not be able to practice. Tulane’s games this week against Texas A&M and…

After Memphis basketball lost to Iowa State by 19, alarm bells started to ring. One loss isn’t the end of the world, but the way they lost was alarming. Although it was followed up with a loss to Georgia, that game was close. In addition, if anyone knows a little something about upsets, it’s Georgia head coach Tom Crean. With two more losses to Ole Miss, and Friday night to Murray State, there is no way around what is going on with Penny Hardaway’s team. Memphis is on the brink of .500 and plays two ranked teams in No. 9…

Coming into the season, SMU basketball was slated to be a dark horse in the AAC. Unfortunately, the Mustangs stumbled out of the gates. Their first loss was a trainwreck, losing by 23 by the Oregon Ducks. SMU also lost back-to-back games to Missouri and Loyola Marymount. Since falling to 3-3, however, the Mustangs have hit a nice stride. With a 77-69 win over a solid Dayton team Wednesday night, they may just have their season back on track. The Flyers were anything but another unranked opponent for SMU. This is the same Dayton team that upset the then-No. 4…

If you have injuries at running back and haven’t yet clinched the playoffs, this week is a nightmare for you. With Jonathan Taylor, Damien Harris, Rhamondre Stevenson and many other solid running backs on bye, it’s a tough call to make. Get it right, and you’ll be running up and down the block in jubilation. Get it wrong, and you’ll be cursing yourself and replaying the decision over and over until next year’s draft. With so much at stake this week, let us at FlurrySports help you either get into the fantasy football playoffs or improve your seeding. Read on…

For the majority of leagues, this is it. This is the last week of the fantasy football regular season. Win and you’re likely in. Lose and spend the rest of the fantasy season being the butt of the jokes in your league. With the Colts, Patriots, Eagles and Dolphins all on bye, the availability of good options on the waiver wire may be slimmer than ever. When you factor in matchups, it gets even tougher. There are still three solid options however that should be able to do enough to get you over the finish line. Read on for three…

It finally happened. The Detroit Lions finally made it to the promised land and won their first game of the year. Believe it or not, the Lions have a better record since the start of November than the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings. In the AFC, the New England Patriots are proving passing is overrated.
