Basketball Blogs

Sure, watching games and rooting for your team are at the heart of any fan's sporting experience. But let's be honest: the post-game discussion, in the form of amateur analysis, friendly argument, and water-cooler talk, is a huge part of the fun. This type of dialogue has been standardized (and commercialized) online, in the form of basketball blogs. These are daily diaries where fans and pundits vent, preach, or comment on the latest headlines from around the leagues. Their opinion-based observations can be both enlightening and entertaining.

Dulcinea's Insight

Often, individual teams have official or widely read, privately written blogs. A good method for locating team blogs is to check out the "External Links" section of your team's Wikipedia entry. To do this, visit Wikipedia.org, enter your team's name in the search bar, and scroll down toward the bottom of the page.

Large sports sites like ESPN.com and SportsIllustrated.com have very good college basketball coverage. For information about these sites and others, check out the "What's the latest in sports news?" section of our Sports guide.

Women's Hoops Blog has extensive coverage of women's college basketball and the WNBA. New content is added daily, with multiple entries during the busier parts of the season.
