Bruins vs. Tigers, Halftime
Uh oh. Big Baby's practically begging John Brady to take him out of the game. He can't keep up with the pace. Things really couldn't be going worse for the Tigers....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 6:28 First Half
Hey, sweet commercial. Someone asks Spike Lee who he'd have a beer with if he could have a beer with anyone, and it's a nice little tribute to Jackie Robinson. Apparently, the commercial is for beer. Not any particular beer, just... beer in general....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 12:19 First Half
Just real quick, Seth Davis reports before the game that NC State's Herb Sendek is no longer NC State's. He's been offerred and has accepted the head coaching job at Arizona State. I think the Sun Devils just got one of the better coaches in the nation....
It's A Final Four Pants Party
Obviously, the best story at this weekend's Final Four in Indianapolis is George Mason, but we've found the best story of that best story: It turns out that until this weekend, the George Mason fight song had no lyrics. Seriously; they had to write a whole batch just because the NCAA was asking fo...
In Praise Of The Big Baby
In a way, the undeniably blissful story of George Mason in this year's tournament has taken some focus off what would otherwise being a star-making week for LSU's Glen "Big Baby" Davis. The sophomore center is the type of unique creature almost exclusively associated with college basketball....
It's Almost Opening Day! AL Central Preview
We almost forgot in all the George Mason hysteria, but, jeez, folks, baseball starts, like, Sunday. So, we figured it was probably time to start paying attention. Henceforth, we're going to be previewing each division, two a day, through the end of the week. We thought we'd start with the America...
Mike Anderson Will Vanquish All Foes

NCAA Roundup:All GMU, All The Time
• As exciting as the LSU-Texas and George Mason-Connecticut games were, the Florida-Villanova and UCLA-Memphis games were dogs. Particularly that last one; it had been a long time since we'd seen a team back into the Final Four. Not supposed to work that way. • One of the more underpublicized fact...
UCLA To Meet The Tapeworms
This one was the college basketball equivalent of a 6-3 Browns/Bengals game in a freezing rain. For a while there, it didn't look like either team would get to 50 points. Much like Ben Howland, this game was not pretty....
UCLA Refusing To Be Whooped
The Bruins have taken a 28-21 lead with them into halftime after sweating Memphis into their worst shooting performance of the year. They're 0-for-10 from behind the line, and 10-of-37 overall. Most tricks are not impressed by 21-point halves....
Indianapolis Buffet Restaurants, Prepare For The Arrival Of Glen Davis
"We still not satisfied yet. We got TAPEWORMS in our belly. We wanna still eat." - LSU forward Glen Davis, with some interesting imagery...
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...
Live Report From The Atlanta Regional
William Hocutt, whom you've read about in these parts before, was in Atlanta for both the Duke-LSU and West Virginia-Texas games last night, and, even though he's a Duke fan, he pulled himself together to file a report from the scene for us....
