Dominique Wilkins Gets His
Dominique Wilkins, who somehow didn't get into the Basketball Hall of Fame on his first try, will be getting in on go-round #2. Official word hasn't come down yet, but various reports have him getting in, along with former Pistons guard and current GM Joe Dumars and UConn women's coach Geno Auriemma...
The Ultimate Time Capsule Photo
Someone just sent us this picture, and we don't know where it's from, who took it or what the circumstances were around it. But, somehow, it made us extremely sad. Man. That could have been Whitey Ford, Ted Williams and Joe Louis hanging out right there. Oh well....

When The NCAA Tournament Destroys You
But there's a downside, of course, and anyone who was a fan of Kansas, Michigan State and, yes, Iowa can tell you how much pain this tournament can wreak. Above, via Extra Points, is a video of Iowa fans converging at a bar in Columbia, Mo., ready to cheer their Hawkeyes to an easy first-round victo...

Eye Of The Wildcat
I have asked for video of the Allan Ray eye injury last night, and you guys have responded like champions. Thanks to all of you who sent in links, but this is the best one I've gotten. All I can say about the video is AHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHH!...
Allan Ray's Eyeball
A couple of readers e-mailed last night to say that they saw Villanova senior guard Allan Ray's eyeball actually get popped out of his head last night. ESPN is apparently refusing to show video of it. We here at Deadspin have no such scruples, so if any of you have the footage, feel free to send i...
St. Joseph's Hawks
1. They Were Nearly "The Bomb." The famed Hawk mascot turned 50 this year, but the team nickname has been around since 1929, when a student yearbook editor started a contest for naming the athletic teams. "Hawks" just barely beat out "Grenadiers," the name of World War I soldiers who specialized in ...
Iowa Hawkeyes
1. Jeff Horner Induces Pee-Phobia. If you're ever in a bathroom with Jeff, watch out... he may slap your ass. And then what will you do? Surely you can't just go on holding it. That's bad for you. Probably give you cancer. Also, Horner is Iowa's best player. Watch out ... he'll be leading the Hawks ...
Arizona Wildcats
1. The Other 'Stached Star. Freshman Marcus Williams, maybe the most underhyped freshman in the nation, sports his own version of the '70's porn-stache, a la Gonzaga's Adam Morrison, but for a very awkward reason. Supposedly — and this comes from a girlfriend of his from high school — he sports the ...
Nevada Wolf Pack
1. There Isn't Much Sex ... On Campus, Anyway. Terrence Green played basketball at the University of Nevada from 1999-2003. Lyndale Burleson is on the current Pack squad. Burleson is the little brother of Minnesota Vikings' receiver (and former Nevada standout) Nate Burleson the only Viking NOT to g...
Kansas Jayhawks
1. Those Crazy Rush Brothers. Kansas star freshman Brandon Rush attended four high schools. His brothers, Jaron (most famous for drinking his way out of basketball) and the Charlotte Bobcats' Kareem, both attended Pembroke Hill, an small private high school. While in Kansas City, Brandon attended We...
