Davidson Has Some Pretty Sweet Trustees
If you needed another reason to cheer for Davidson in the NCAA Tournament tomorrow night, here's a great one: The school's administration is paying for students to go to Detroit for the Sweet 16....

All Hail Davidson, Our Link To Why This Is Fun
If Florida hadn't have won the NCAA Title again last year, it would be safe to say that it would be difficult to remember who was the 2006 NCAA Champion. That's because 2006 was the year of George Mason, and the Final Four itself — which, you may recall, was lousy that year — was just a sidebar to ...

Does Anybody Buy What Memphis Is Selling Anymore?
A "bold" proclamation: If Memphis doesn't at least make the Final Four this year, no matter what their record is next year, they're not getting a No. 1 seed. The team has looked downright wobbly so far and just about blew it yesterday. Though at least Derrick Rose was able to keep playing past the f...

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 ...

UCLA's Non-Foul, And Huggy Bear Sober In The Sweet 16
We had no idea there were so many Texas A&M basketball fans out there, but boy, has our inbox been full with people sending us the above photo. Yeah: That kind of looks like a foul....

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...

The Sons Also Rise
Another day, and another day of great basketball lies waiting. Villanova has moved on to the Sweet 16 by way of an 84-72 win against Siena. There are now four games underway, so continue after the jump for your live update needs. I'm watching Georgetown/Davidson, but I've also been keeping track of ...

Huggins Gets The Best Of Coach K

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...

That's a Shame!

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....

Siena Joins Tampa's Pretty Princesses

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 ...
