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 [...]

For the first time since they’ve started seeding, the NCAA Tournament finally has all four number one seeds in the Final Four. Your participants: Memphis, UCLA, Kansas and North Carolina. Did your bracket reflect this?

Dancin’ At The Sweet 16: Washington State - North Carolina

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Washington State/North Carolina

Great defense versus great offense. Who wins? That’s what this game is coming down to. On one hand, you have North Carolina. They’ve scored over 100 points in their first two tournament games, making one harken for the Loyola-Marymount days. On the other hand, you have Washington State. [...]

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

His stats during his little supporting roll stint reinforce the decision: 3.9 points and 3.6 rebounds. Webber was averaging 14 minutes a game.

A Closer Look At Coppin State

From the “I doubt you missed this but you need to see it again and again” files, Danny Green put the exclamation mark on North Carolina’s victory over Duke on Saturday, much to the enjoyment of Cameron “Crazies” (is “Crazies” short for not very knowledgeable when it comes to college basketball?).

Intentional Upset: Duke Whips Carolina

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Even though they have a high ranking in the polls, not many college basketball watchers took the Duke Blue Devils very seriously (guilty), that is, until now. Coach K’s crew of jump shooters and perimeter players went into Chapel Hill and handed the Ty Lawson-less Tar Heels a convincing 89-79 loss.
It was the Greg [...]
