Tip-In Or Not, The Nixed FGCU Miracle Bucket Was Shot In Time
College basketball has determined that three-tenths of a second, while a barely blinkable unit of time, is enough to tap in a legal shot.

John Henson And His T-Shirt Think The NCAA Is A Scam

Thornton Didn't Mean To Hurt The Guy He Tripped And Punched In The Face
When forward Shawn Thornton tripped Brooks Orpik and repeatedly punched him in the head, it sure looked like he knew what he was doing. How could he not have?
