Billy Donovan Is Really Happy To Be On TV

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Obviously, being on TV is quite agreeable to Florida coach Billy Donovan. It’s either that or someone spiked him with adrenalin, Chev Chelios-style:

Apparently, I’m not the only one who feels this way, either. I’m not sure if Donovan actually blinked while he was on camera because if he did, there would have been [...]

And Then There Were Two

Monday, April 7th, 2008

After the removal of North Carolina and UCLA from the Final Four festivities, there are two remaining: the Kansas Jayhawks and the Memphis Tigers.

The Four Horsemen of San Antonio

Friday, April 4th, 2008

And then there were Four. The Fantastic Four. Four Square. Whatever Final Four-inspired name you’d like to use to describe this weekend’s games and the bunch above me is fine. I’m sure they all fit. In the amazingly slight chance you don’t know what I’m referring to, the Final Four [...]

Kevin Love Has Some Range

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

We’ve all seen Kevin Love display a nice shooting touch all the way out the 3-point line, but who knew his range was this deep:

Dunking Your Way to the Elite 8

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

While everyone else is celebrating Stephen Curry (rightfully so), I thought I’d focus on the multiple-game dunking display we were privy to, because unlike Thursday, last night we saw a number of monster jams, punctuating some impressive performances.
Joey Dorsey and Derrick Rose both provided incredibly explosive buckets, as well as Brandon Rush, Darrell [...]

Dancin’ At The Sweet 16: Kansas/Villanova, Wisconsin/Davidson

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Sorry about these last two being jammed into one… time constraints and all. Anyway, here’s our picks for the other games:
Kansas - Villanova
Too much Kansas here. The Jayhawks are deeper and more talented and they look like they are on a Final Four mission.

Wisconsin - Davidson
