We’re Going Streaking…

We’re Going Streaking…

Hardly, if ever, is Women’s Basketball talked about in the papers, blogs or at the water cooler. However, the UConn Women’s Basketball team has just won their 71st consecutive game.  They have beaten all 71 opponents by double digits. Their average margin of defeat is close to 30 points a game. This isn’t just any [...]

Top 25: ‘Nova Falls out of Top 5

Top 25: ‘Nova Falls out of Top 5

Kansas and Kentucky are the favorites. The majority of fans and brackets will have either the Jayhawks or Wildcats as the last team standing. However, this year may very well be more wide open then we think. There will be some sleepers that emerge during the conference tournaments and come March the only thing that [...]

Top 25: How is Georgetown Still Top 10?

Top 25: How is Georgetown Still Top 10?

Only a handful of conference games remain as we gear up for Conference tournament play. Still many questions remain and Joe Lunardi will have his hands full as the weeks go on…

The Story: Kansas and Kentucky remain the top two teams in the Coaches’ poll this week, while every other spot within the Top 25 [...]

The Jayhawks are Back on Top

The Jayhawks are Back on Top

Kansas now has the bullseye on their back. Texas and Kentucky lasted a week as the top team in the country and have handed that responsibility back over to Kansas. How long can they stay atop both polls?

The Story: After a nine week run, which began with the preseason rankings, Kansas is back on top [...]

Top 25: Kentucky Remains Unbeaten

Top 25: Kentucky Remains Unbeaten

The beauty of college hoops is that these rankings make no difference come tourney time, yet I continue to write about them each week. Without further ado…
The Story: The Kentucky Wildcats are the No. 1 team in the nation for the first time in six seasons. Coach John Calipari (Memphis and UMass) joins Frank McGuire [...]

NFL Playoffs: Divisional Round

NFL Playoffs: Divisional Round

It’s Week 2 of the playoffs, also known as the Divisional Round, and 8 teams remain. We, as fans, were treated to one entertaining game this weekend and at first that game (GB vs. ARI) was looking like a blowout. I need some entertainment this weekend and I think we will get our fill. If we don’t [...]

College Hoops: Only Two Unbeatens Remain

College Hoops: Only Two Unbeatens Remain

Texas and Kentucky remain the only unbeatens. Both have Top 10 NBA caliber guys (James and Wall), leaders in the paint (Pittman and Patterson), and young talent (Bradley and Hamilton…Cousins and Bledsoe). Which team is better? It’s a toss up, but I will give the slight edge to Texas because of their expereince. Both teams rely [...]

The Decade’s Best College Hoops Stars

The Decade’s Best College Hoops Stars

It’s hard to narrow this decade’s best ballers down to 10. However, I love making top ten lists so I had to try. As “one-and-done’s” became more popular it became harder to evaluate which players made more of a lasting impact on the college game. Here’s my take…
 
1. Tyler Hansbrough (North Carolina 06-09): What didn’t [...]

Top 25: Wildcats Climb to No. 3

Top 25: Wildcats Climb to No. 3

There were some ridiculous games this week, but the best game to watch this past week was Kentucky vs. Connecticut at Madison Square Garden. While everyone in the country knows about John Wall, people may not know another big time freshman for the Wildcats, DeMarcus Cousins. The man is a beast down low and put [...]

College Hoops: Top 25

College Hoops: Top 25

Evan Turner breaks 2 vertebrae trying to dunk and will be out for about 2 months. This is a huge loss for Ohio State. I’m interested to see how they bounce back this week in a huge matchup against Butler. How good is Kentucky’s John Wall? He’s right-handed yet loves attacking the hoop with his [...]
