Do Not Taunt Bob Knight When He Has A Gun
What's scarier than Bob Knight running rampant on the streets? Why, Bob Knight running amuck through the woods with a shotgun, of course!...
The ACC Smashes The Big Ten. Again.
We are just past halfway through the ACC/Big Ten Challenge ... and the Big Ten has already lost! That didn't take long at all....
Time For The ACC To Kick Around The Big Ten A Bit
The Made-For-ESPN Big Ten/ACC Challenge kicks off (well, continues, actually; Wake Forest beat Iowa last night) tonight. We always enjoy the ACC/Big Ten challenge, because it's the most one-sided "tournament" in all of a sports. This is the ninth year, and the Big Ten has never won....
Not A Good Week To Quack
Credit this morning goes to Adam Rank at The Fanhouse, who correctly predicted St. Mary's upset of Oregon last night. See? This blogging thing is easy....
Yet Another Reason Never To Visit Hawaii
OK, maybe Duke's a little better than we realized. And maybe Illinois still hasn't learned how to shoot. Here you see Brian Randle, fouling someone, as usual. Duke's good again, everybody: Spread the word. Then cringe....
Welcome Back, Duke Haters
We know the college basketball is officially underway because ... everyone's Duke bile is building! We've missed it; it's nice having villains, even if they haven't actually done that much lately that was particularly villainous....
Sure, He's, Uh, Doing Some Bobcats Scouting
We were busy at this show tonight, so we're late on the uptake, but we will say this: We don't think we'll ever get used to seeing Michael Jordan wearing Illini colors. We wonder if Tar Heels fans will ever get used to it either....
Sign Here, So That We Might Own You
SI's Seth Davis, whom we always enjoy, brings up a point we've been wondering about for a while: Why in the world would anyone in the real world sign one of those letters of intent they make new college basketball recruits sign....
This Morning, Ashley Judd Weeps
The college basketball season has barely started — really, it hasn't, not at all — and we've already had three ridiculous upsets (even if two didn't count). This is a welcome break; if you'll remember the NCAA tournament last year, we barely had any. We hope this is a good sign....
The Big Ten Is Having Exhibition Troubles
It's a good thing Ohio State has the No. 1 football team in the country and is all caught up in those Terrifying Fighting Illini this week, because otherwise they might have noticed that the basketball team lost an exhibition game to Division II Findlay last night....
Welcome Back College Hoops, Everybody!
We know we haven't done the best job previewing the upcoming college basketball season, but it's not for lack of interest: It's just that there are so many freaking teams, man. We couldn't even figure out how to organize it. But don't worry: We absolutely cannot contain our excitement that college b...
Big Ten Network Airs Another Mind-Dissolving Upset (So Nobody Saw It)
Well it's about damn time a Big Ten favorite loses their first game of the season to a championship-caliber team from a smaller division. Grand Valley State, who made it to last year's Division II Elite Eight round (only to lose on a buzzer-beater), took an exhibition game way too seriously and won ...
She's Like The Biff From The Future!
We know this story's from a couple of weeks ago, but we're still rather entranced about it: The mother of a recent Kentucky Wildcats basketball recruit is a real, live prophet....
Kelvin Sampson Is At It Again
Forgive us a moment of Illini "outrage" here, but Indiana coach Kelvin Sampson, the guy who bolted Oklahoma after making improper phone calls to recruits that ended up putting the school on probation, is at it again in Bloomington....
