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...

NCAA Roundup: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Hey, The Tourney's Back
Well, we don't know about you, but we've been sleeping since last Sunday, and it's finally time to wake up; the NCAA Tournament returns this evening. That was enough time for us to recharge our batteries; we needed that long to come to terms with that Illinois loss to Washington....

When The NCAA Tournament Destroys You
But there's a downside, of course, and anyone who was a fan of Kansas, Michigan State and, yes, Iowa can tell you how much pain this tournament can wreak. Above, via Extra Points, is a video of Iowa fans converging at a bar in Columbia, Mo., ready to cheer their Hawkeyes to an easy first-round victo...
Applebee's Is Taking Over Your Life
As MJD noted yesterday, one of the worst parts of the NCAA tournament is the endless cycle of the same commercials being played. Whether it was the State Farm guy, or Julia Louis-Dreyfuss or that jerk guy who's so damned smug about his cellphone, every sports fan had an ad or two that made you wan...
Big Ten: We, Who Are About To Die, Salute You!
You began with nothing more than a crumpled $10 bill and a dream. You labored long and hard over your NCAA Tournament picks, scratching them out with a worn pencil nub while the frantic cries of friends and family went unanswered. Your strategy was clear — you would ride the six Big Ten teams to t...
