SEC Officials Love Them Some Kentucky
In case you missed it, Mississippi State got jobbed in the SEC Tournament. John Wall wasn’t allowed to cross the three point line until the ball hits the rim on Eric Bledsoe’s 2nd free throw. Clearly he crosses the line when Bledsoe releases the ball. A lane violation should have been called, giving the ball [...]
If You’re Good at Basketball, Baylor Lets You Punch People in the Face
Baylor women’s basketball coach Kim Mulky is a disgrace. Not just as the coach of one of the best women’s programs in the nation, but also as someone charged with leading young people.
By now, you’ve all seen the video of Brittney Griner sucker-punching a Texas Tech player during a game. The shot was vicious. It [...]
Brittany Griner Gets Her LaGarrette Blount On
Griner’s actions were MUCH worse than Blount’s. First of all she punched a player during a game. Secondly, she wasn’t remotely provoked. In our opinion she has to be suspended for the rest of this year and all of next. Sound extreme? What would happen to Demarcus Cousins if he did this to a guy [...]

College Hoops: Weekend Overreactions
Louisville is the most bipolar team in the nation: Lose to St. John’s by 19, beat Syracuse at the Carrier Dome. There’s no telling what you’ll get from this team week in and week out. There’s talent, but most of it is inconsistent. The Cards lack of offensive identity at times makes one wonder if [...]
Five Burning Basketball Questions: Big 12 Style
1) Will Kansas start and end the year as the top-ranked team in the country?
This is always a tough task, but the Jayhawks are built to win their second national title in three years. Bill Self has one of the best guard-center combinations in guard Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich. If Oprah Collins can stay [...]
5 Burning Questions: Big East Hoops Edition
1) Is there any conference that will have to replace more from last season than the Big East?
It’s not even close. Louisville had 2 players selected in the top 15 in the draft. UConn lost Hasheem Thabeet, A.J. Price, Jeff Adrien, and Craig Austrie. Pitt will be without frontcourt stars Sam Young and DeJaun Blair [...]
5 Burning Questions: A-10 Edition
1) Can anyone challenge Dayton for the league title?
Yes and no. Xavier seems the obvious choice, but lost their top 4 scorers and coach Sean Miller. The Musketeers are a virtual minor league for major coaching jobss, but expecting a conference title this soon might be a bit ambitious.
Richmond returns 4 starters from last year’s 20-win [...]
