Rasheed Wallace Yells "Ball Don't Lie" Because Sheed Likes To Yell Things
The absolute best conceit in basketball is there is some sort of cosmic justice. If a player makes an undeserved trip to the line on a ticky-tack foul, the telltale ball will betray the shooter. This worked to perfection last night, as Rasheed Wallace—the chattiest player in the game—felt he was d...
D-III Player's 138 Point-Game Is A Sham Record And Shouldn't Be Celebrated By Anyone
Jack Taylor, of the Grinnell College Pioneers, scored 138 points in a game last night, against Faith Baptist Bible College.

Despite Taking Top-Ranked Indiana To Overtime, This Georgetown Fan Had To Lash Out With The Double Bird
Indiana dispatched Georgetown last night 82-72, but not without a bit of trouble.

Jerry Reinsdorf Will Basically Bribe DePaul To Move To The United Center
DePaul's in the market for a new basketball arena.
