In Praise Of Chantel Osahor's Set-Shot Threes
The Washington Huskies upset the Stanford Cardinal 85-76 this afternoon to book the first ticket to the Final Four in Indianpolis. Chantel Osahor had a career-high 24 points (including three threes) and 18 rebounds to help the Huskies win. Osahor is a six-foot-two forward who’s in the top 15 nationa...
Buddy Hield Is As Fun As College Basketball Gets
The wildest aspect of the NCAA Tournament is its proclivity for upsets. Unless you have an allegiance to Michigan State, West Virginia, or Cal, or you really care about the health of your bracket, those teams all losing to lower seeds was the most thrilling part of the opening weekend. Chaos is the ...

These Tweets During Last Night's Mavericks Game Are Probably Going To Cost Mark Cuban Some Money
Mark Cuban complains about everything all the time, which makes him a lovable rogue among boring owners sometimes, and also makes him pretty damn insufferable other times. Last night, when his Mavericks were losing to the Warriors, he did what you or I might do: fire off some tweets. However, unlike...
Coach K Apologizes For Lecturing Dillon Brooks And Lying About It
The Oregon Ducks dispatched Duke in the Sweet Sixteen on Thursday, 82-68. Oregon’s last points came off a Dillon Brooks three, which he hit as the shot clock expired with eight seconds left in the game. He celebrated a little, because his team had just beaten Duke, but a bit of silly controversy bro...

Adam Morrison Is Prepared For The Apocalypse. Are You?
Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice, but when it does end it’ll be survived by an unathletic shooter with a single ACL and an underground cache of insulin....
Steve Francis Needs A Company To Ship One Of His Boats
Attention: Steve Francis, former star point guard for the University of Maryland and the Houston Rockets and not-star point guard for the New York Knicks, needs one of his boats moved from Sarasota, Fla. to “the Harbor.” (Presumably, if you’re the sort of person who can get a boat moved out of Saras...
Peeps Are The Worst Seasonal Candy
Easter is upon us. You know this—even if you don’t have a grandmother sending increasingly frantic texts asking what time you’ll be there for dinner on Sunday—because the commercials have all gone pastel and there are goddamn Peeps everywhere. If you don’t care about the religious significance, East...
Dillon Brooks Says Coach K Lectured Him About Sportsmanship In The Handshake Line
Defending champion Duke is out, falling to No. 1 seed Oregon 82-68 in a game that was decided so early, nothing on the court is going to garner the attention of whatever happened between Mike Krzyzewski and Dillon Brooks in the handshake line. Or didn’t happen, depending on who you ask....
J.J. Redick's Game-Winner Was Made Possible By Chris Paul's Nutmeg Inbounds
So this is a game-winning shot by J.J. Redick (at least one Dookie had a good night), but it’s not even the most impressive thing in this clip. Watch it again, and pay attention to Chris Paul’s inbounds pass. He is being guarded by 6'11" Mason Plumlee, who was brought into the game specifically to d...
D.J. Stephens Throws Down Thunderous Fast Break Alley-Oop
D.J. Stephens of the D-League’s Iowa Energy yammed home this alley-oop during a close win over the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. The cut-off perspective of the Vine may be preferable, as it almost looks like Stephens comes out of nowhere for the slam: ...
This Is One Dumb Technical Foul
Refs blew it twice in one play tonight as Maryland’s Jake Layman wasn’t whistled for a double dribble on his first-half dunk against Kansas, but earned a technical foul for hanging on the rim. There’s a good reason Layman didn’t immediately let go after the straight-on two-handed dunk, and the techn...

Butter Crocks Are A Crock Of Bullshit
Butter is practically perfect in just about any form. Anyone with tastebuds knows this. But if, like many Americans, you’re storing your butter in the refrigerator, you’re screwing up. And if you buy a $25 trinket in which to store your room-temperature butter, you’re screwing up even worse....
