All About The Big Men
LSU and Texas are tied at 26 at the half after Darrell Mitchell pulled a little pickpocket job and scored a quick two on an easy lay-up at the buzzer....
Memphis Looks To Whoop That Trick
This kinda makes me wish I was a Memphis fan. The good people at The Realests noticed the Memphis dance team doing the "Whoop that Trick" dance from the movie Hustle and Flow, which takes place in Memphis. And then they dug up this video of Memphis fans taunting some UAB fans with the same song an...
The Top Hoops Programs Of All Time
Here's a little something to argue about before we get started with the actual basketball today. TenMojo.com has attempted to rank the Top 10 college basketball programs of all time. And it's not some half-ass list based on foggy notions, which is how I'd prefer to do it. They actually have reason...
Poor UConn Just Can't Catch A Break
UConn head coach Jim Calhoun certainly was at his whiny best last night, which is odd, considering that Washington was hit with 33 fouls, while UConn had just 20. I'd go so far as to say that he was behaving like Jim Boeheim... if Jim Boeheim was a 10-year-old Girl Scout who couldn't sell any of h...
George Mason Has Your Shocker Right Here
No matter who won that Shockers/Patriots tilt last night, I suppose I would've been spending some time today giving it up for the little guy. As it turns out, it's the 11th-seeded George Mason Patriots, who didn't just get to the Elite 8, but destroyed Wichita State last night, never trailing alon...

Kobe Bryant: Future Member Of The Tribe?

Reggie Jackson And Those Vultures
We have to say, if this site — or the Internet, for that matter — had existed during Reggie Jackson's heyday as a player, we think maybe 30 percent of the posts would have been about him. As a Hall of Fame player, he was fascinating, but now that he's retired, he's becoming one of our favorite cra...

NCAA Roundup: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
More news and notes from an amazing night of college basketball. • Most common email we've received today: What's with the shrieking lady at the Gonzaga/UCLA game? We don't know; if anyone does, please let us know. This seems to be a trend in tourney games; inexplicable screaming people in the sta...
It Gets The Feelings Out
The question has been asked by sports fans for a while now, and it's tough to get a straight answer: Is it all right to cry? Howard Stern's old radio show once ran a montage of celebrities crying in public, and though the sentiments were sincere enough, it was difficult to hear the clips without h...
