John Wall Has the Goods

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

No, it wasn’t the prettiest win in Kentucky’s storied history, but it still goes down in the books as a “W,” thanks, in large part to John Wall hitting his first game-winner of his collegiate career. Simply put, Wall has the goods, or he is the real deal, or he lives up the [...]

Buzzer Beaters, Game Winners, and Mark Cuban (Oh My)

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Busy weekend for the NBA. At least two of the four playoff battles currently underway will go to a Game 6, if not further. Granted, Denver and Cleveland look like they are in a class by themselves; although, one could argue Cleveland is by themselves — we’ll call it the LeBron class — [...]

From girls loving b-jays to perhaps Stephen Curry’s last collegiate game, there was something for everybody — including a 75-foot game-winner from Chris Roberts, courtesy of the Bradley/Oakland CIT Tournament game. Bradley was down by five with [...]

Demetri Goodson’s Order of Onions

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

No, Bill “Onions” Raftery did not call the Gonzaga/Western Kentucky game, but if he had, it’s fairly obvious how he would’ve described Demetri Goodson’s game-winning driving layup — simply, “ONIONS” and nothing more. What else needs to be said, really? But don’t take my word for it; instead, allow Jeremy Pargo to enlighten [...]
