Heck, Those Heels Are Out Of Control, Consarn It
Silly East Regional, with your whole going-according-to-seed business: This absolutely will not do. That said, of the four teams hanging around Charlotte next week — wait ... is that North Carolina ... in Charlotte? Boo! — a definitive pecking order has already emerged. That is to say: Don't bet on ...

To Repeat: It's Pronounced STEF-en
The gang at Storming The Floor break down yesterday's NCAA tourney action. We'll be annoying you with our take on it the rest of the day as well....

Curry Is the Son of Sons
Stephen Curry is a cold-blooded assassin. He's like Leon in The Professional. You're not sure about him in the early goings but he wins you over in some crucial moments. Eventually you begin to love him although you know he's destined to die in the end. Anyways... Curry's 30 points (70 in two games...

March Madness Up All Night
The night games are finally wrapping up, and the late night session is already underway off in Denver. My Pitt Panthers, led by the one and only Levance Fields, is matched up against a tough Michigan State team and I will not be live blogging for fear of getting way too emotional. I've long been a S...

Night Game Live Blog
All these games are overlapping and I can hardly keep up. Marquette and Stanford have already reached halftime which should give the Cardinal players a chance to catch up with their ejected coach. Marquette leads 36-30 with Brook Lopez scoring just two points and making everybody vaguely uncomforta...

Stuff White People LOVE: Duke vs. West Virginia Live Blog
The first two days of March Madness are amazingly fun in a crazy kind of way, but the best basketball is still to come. This weekend's second round games have just gotten underway with Duke taking on West Virginia just down the road from me at the Verizon Center in Chinatown. If I had some kind of ...

Steven Hill Is Looking Awesome
Many thanks to Sports Hernia for passing along these HD stills of Arkansas's seductive Steven Hill. I guess it's worth noting that Hill's Razorbacks sent Indiana back to Hoosierville 86-72 led by Sonny Weems' 31 point outburst....

Shooting Weapons On Campus Is Always A Good Idea
This is Jorge Reyes, the Most Outstanding Player of last year's College World Series for the Oregon State Beavers. The Beavers are the two-time defending national champions, and they kind of rule the roost a bit over there. They also like to just randomly fire weaponry on campus. Hey, sometimes you ...

Obama Vs. McCain: The Only Way To Decide
Barack Obama's NCAA Tournament office pool brackets vs. John McCain's: It's a battle for the ages, the likes of which America hasn't seen since the great Lincoln-Douglas baseball rotissierie league showdown of 1859. Who will prevail? The race for the White House — and the fate of the nation — may ha...

Anyway, here are your games: Butler vs. South Alabama, Georgetown vs. Maryland-Baltimore County, Texas vs. Austin Peay and Connecticut vs. San Diego. After the j...

Friday NCAA Live Blog: 12:20 ET Games
All right, we've been told that the Gawker servers are ready to rock today, and we will have no more problems. We have faith! We are not so certain, however, that today's games will be any better than yesterday's. (Duke-Belmont excepted.) The early games aren't inherently promising. We have Gonzaga...

For One Night, We Were All Vince Gill
The initial rush of excitement that the NCAA Tournament brings us often disguises the fact that the games themselves sometimes disappoint. The upsets we crave, the upsets that excite us about all this in the first place — the first weekend is always more of an "event" than the national championship...
