Brown Bag it, Baby
When the NCAA Tournament brackets first came out, the at-large selections that drew the biggest criticism were VCU and UAB. Even Dick Vitale, who sees more positive signs in college hoops than a third grade math class, ripped the selection of VCU. …
It was widely acknowledged that college basketball was down this year. There was one bonafide superstar — The Jimmer — and you could possibly argue that the heroics of Kemba Walker were in a similar class. Relatedly, Duke, Ohio State, and …
It would take a major upset for No. 8 George Mason to take down No. 1 Ohio State on Sunday afternoon. The task became that much tougher with the news that one of their top starters, sophomore forward Luke Hancock, has yet to arrive at the arena and …
Controversial? Yes. Shocking? Sure. Unfortunate for Pittsburgh fans? Absolutely. A referee debacle? Quite the contrary. Take it from a person who had Pittsburgh winning the National Championship in his bracket — the referees got the ending of …
Unless you plan to play a sport in college, athletics should have a minimal influence on your school choice. Realistically, we understand that is not the case. A lot of high schoolers want to go to a school who’s team plays on ESPN. People …
The Louisville Cardinals have the dubious distinction of being the highest-seeded team to be upset early in the NCAA tournament. The fourth-seeded Cardinals were knocked off by 13-seed Morehead State 62-61 on a three-pointer by Demonte Harper. …
After just one day of games — sorry, I refuse to count the play-ins — the 2011 NCAA Tournament has already featured a ton of excitement. The coverage has been brilliant, there have been games decided on last-second lay-ups, another …
Sometimes it can get dangerous standing courtside at a basketball game. Players come diving into the stands and take out fans, camera people, and reporters quite regularly. Just ask Bob from San Antonio. One would think that as long as you …
We’re midway through the first day of the 2011 NCAA Tournament and the quality of games has been fantastic. We’ve seen a four seed get upset by a 13 seed, and there has been game-winner after game-winner after game-winner at the buzzer. …
Kentucky freshman Brandon Knight grew up on Thursday, rebounding from an 0-7 start to the Wildcats’ first-round tournament game against Princeton to make the winning shot. He was playing so poorly coach John Calipari had to bench him, but at …
Just like that, the Madness has already been put back into March. The college basketball world hadn’t even begun talking about Matt Howard’s buzzer-beater before the first contender had fallen. After a shocker on Thursday afternoon, Rick …
Butler wasted no time bringing us the first dramatic finish of the 2011 NCAA Tournament. Despite charging all the way to the National Championship game last year, the Bulldogs were given little respect heading into their matchup with No. 9 seed Old …
CBS, TBS, TNT, and TruTV are teaming up this year to ensure every single game in the 2011 NCAA Tournament is televised. That means if you have cable or a satellite dish, you can watch any game going on at any time on one of those four stations. The …
Every year, during the month of March (and apparently a couple days into April) a condition afflicts many Americans. It is a condition that has yet to be recognized by the AMA despite its prevalence and the number of sick-days taken for ill-contrived …
If Doc Brown is going to stick his reputation behind his NCAA tournament bracket, then you know it has to be legit. Doc dominated during NFL season against the spread and straight up, and is bringing his wisdom and knowledge to you in the form of …
The NCAA tournament expanded to a 68-team field this year meaning there are four play-in games. Nobody paid attention to the play-in games in the past (aside from the fans of the participating schools and the people of Dayton), but they’re …
