Sporting News Basketball Magazine
This has become my favorite CBB publication. They seem to spend more time and effort covering ALL the conferences and give the AAC the kind of coverage it merits. I also like the idea they combine both the colleges and NBA, so we don't have to buy two publications.
There is a very nice article on Tubby's move to Memphis which mentions TU and the other stops he's made along the way and a review of his great career including the NC at Kentucky. TU is rated #7 in the conference which is about where most of these magazines will probably place us even though I think we may do better than that. But at least we are ahead of the traditonallly lower level UCF, USF, ECU and Tulane. But once again SMU is rated better than us which I think will reverse once the season starts.
I also like the "Fast Facts" section they have which includes a plethora of info such as the last time a school was in the NCAA tourney, the name and size of the home venue, assistant coaches, and a 5 year trend of their winning record.
They also have a section that covers the smaller non-DI schools, NAIA and even a JUCO section. So it is an all in one basketball magazine.
So i highly recommend this magazine for the serious fan. The cost is about $8 which is similar to the other magazines. Get it and keep it handy during the upcoming season
