College Basketball Commentary

The Georgetown Hoyas were one of the best teams in the Big East Conference this past season. They were 14-4 in the regualr season which ties them for first place with the Louisville Cardinals and Marquette Golden Eagles. Marquette went on to the Elite Eight before losing to another Big East team,, the Syracuse Orange […]

Big East basketball will not resemble the powerhouse it has been in the past when they take the court next season. We all know that. This year, three of the four teams in the Women’s Final Four were from the Big East as well as two of the teams in the Men’s Final Four. Both […]

For most schools, getting to the Elite Eight would be a pretty cool thing. But most schools are not the University of Florida. The Florida Gators have been to the Final Four four times since 1994, three national title games in that span and won two national championships. So getting to the Elite Eight is […]

The moral of the story after all is said and done, you want to be the overall number one seed on Selection Sunday. The Louisville Cardinals were that team this year and they were the only number one seed to make the Final Four. They were joined by two number fours and a number nine […]

Players in the past have really helped their draft status by having a great NCAA Tournament. One that comes quickly to mind for me is Joakim Noah in 2006.

Rice was suspended in December for three games and fined $50,000. At the time, nobody had seen the footage of what went […]

As a college basketball fan, the Elite Eight is perhaps the most difficult round. Of the six (and in some cases now seven) rounds of the NCAA Tournament, the worst to lose in is the Elite Eight round. Why is that? It is because there is so much emphasis on getting to the Final Four […]

Are there two better sports days on the calendar than the Round of 64 of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament? Doubtful.Think about it. There is no Holiday this happens to fall on. New Year’s Day is a great sports day, but with no football it would still be a holiday. Without March Madness, this Thursday […]

In the past, we have pretty much decided that more March Madness is always a good thing. A certain chain of sports themed restaurants/bars recently started running a commercial where a patron was overheard making a comment that he wishes the tournament was bigger, so the bartender grabs his magic remote and presses a button […]

The SEC rules college football.That’s not even in dispute this point. But in college basketball, one can get into some heated discussions over which conference is the best. But this year any and all of those conversations will have to include the Big Ten. The funny thing is, the Big Ten is normally known as […]
