Is Indiana Basketball Back?
The storied program at the University of Indiana has gone through a rough decade since Bobby Knight left, but it appears to be reemerging. I am convinced with this team, but not all fans and pundits are. They are lead by Tom Crean, who spent the past 4 seasons, since taking the throne at Indiana, [...]
Solution to The NBA Draft Eligibility Problem
College basketball season has ended & some of the top players are now investigating the possibility of entering the NBA Draft. In 2000, the NBA implemented a rule saying anyone who enters the draft must be at least 19 years old, making it so most players will spend at least one year in college.Ideally, players [...]
Butler Upsets Syracuse, Upsets Me
The game began with Butler on a 5-0 run. No big deal, Syracuse is getting a late start and those 5 points are meaningless, or so I thought. In the 5 v. 1 matchup, the Bulldogs upset the Orangemen with a 63-59 final score. For the math majors out there, that’s a 4 point victory. [...]
Bracketology 2010; NCAA Tournament Predictions
The time has come for everyone to mention who they have, who blew it for them and all of their ingenious ideas for why their bracket is going to be the winner this year. Work production is going to be down everywhere we are and everyone will be running up and down the halls with [...]
Poll : Should The NCAA Expand The March Madness Tournament
The NCAA Basketball Tournament had been a staple of the sports world for as long as I can remember. It all started for me back in 2002. My freshman year, as well as ‘Melo, G-Mac and Hakim Warrick’s freshmen years as well. Syracuse won the National Championship that season and I became a follower of [...]
Jim Boeheim, Syracuse Making NCAA Tournament Run
As you may know, I refuse to call Syracuse the Orange. Syracuse has and will always be known as the Syracuse Orangemen to me, dating back to the days I watched them play football against BC. What is far more important is that Syracuse is ranked #2 in the AP poll and have the ability [...]
Don't Give Up. Don't Ever Give Up.
This weekend I got a chance to watch the ESPY Awards and was actually impressed with the ceremony itself, the fan voted awards and class of the athletes in attendance. The ESPY’s are a great way to reward an athlete for their spectacular performance on and off the field. The fact that the fan votes [...]
The National (Na-tion-HILLS) Championship
As I previously stated in #15 of my things to do when Red Sox Opening Day is rained out, I got to watch the NCAA National Championship Men’s Basketball game between North Carolina and Michigan State up until 10pm. Then the sportsfangirl took over the remote for the season premier of “The Hills” on MTV. [...]
The Big Dance in the Big D
You heard it here first sportsfans, MSU v. UNC! Monday night at 9:21 pm the biggest game of the 2009 college basketball season will be underway in Detroit. As stated last week, emotions will be running high for the Michigan State Spartans and again, we’ll see if that will be enough to take home the [...]
Win, Lose or Ty
Detroit, Michigan, April 4, 2009 is the next stop on the road to the Final Four…it’s also the last stop. We’ve finally approached the last three games in the NCAA Tournament and the bracket looks pretty entertaining. First tip at 6:07 pm has Michigan State playing a home game against UConn and Hasheem Thabeet. This [...]
Oranges Out of Season
Opening up on a 10-2 run Oklahoma never looked back in putting a beat down on Syracuse. The Orange came close a few times in the first half within 5, 3 and even 2 points but never quite got out of the box to pull ahead. My hopes and dreams for the Elite 8 came [...]
Syracuse makes Sweet 16 as #3 seed
The Syracuse Orange are in the Sweet 16 as a 3 seed again. For those of you that may remember, the last time Syracuse was a 3 seed was in 2003 when they won the National Championship, my Freshman year at Utica College of Syracuse University in Utica, NY. Living with a Syracuse native, I [...]
