by James Folsom • April 23, 2013

That is a question many college basketball fans are pondering as they are watching John Calipari of the Kentucky Wildcats assemble what will likely be the best class of incoming freshmen to go to one school in college hoops history. Calipari has eight freshmen coming in so far, six of them McDonald’s All Americans. With […]

by James Folsom • April 21, 2013

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 […]


What Conference Realignment Means to Big East Basketball

by James Folsom • April 17, 2013

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 […]


Could Baylor’s Brittney Griner Compete in the NBA?

by James Folsom • April 11, 2013

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has made comments suggesting he may draft Baylor Bears star Brittney Griner in this year’s draft. Is this a publicity stunt? Or do the Mavericks really thinkĀ  she can play with the men? I must admit, I have wondered how she would have done on Baylor’s men’s team. My guess […]


Bracket Strategy: Pick a Number One Seed to Win the Tournament

by James Folsom • April 9, 2013

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 […]


Rick Pitino: From Kentucky to Louisville How He Built Two Championship Caliber Teams

by James Folsom • April 4, 2013

It is hard to believe, but no coach has won NCAA Tournament championships at more than one school. One would think in 75 years it would have been done by now. Several coaches have been to Final Fours with more than one school. Roy Williams immediately comes to mind as he took the Kansas Jayhawks […]


USC Hires Florida Gulf Coast’s Andy Enfield. Good Hire or Flash in the Pan?

by James Folsom • April 2, 2013

Typically, when a team comes from out of nowhere and makes a nice run in the NCAA Tournament, that team’s coach becomes a hot commodity. While nobody can blame a coach from a small school striking while the iron is hot, one would have to wonder if this is a smart idea for the new […]


For Florida Gators, Will Third Elite Eight be the Charm?

by James Folsom • March 31, 2013

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 […]


March Madness: Is It Time the Tournament Took 72 Teams?

by James Folsom • March 20, 2013

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 […]


Florida Gators May Be a Tournament Upset Victim

by James Folsom • March 18, 2013

In your tournament brackets you will come across this game in the South, Northwestern St vs Florida. It would be easy to pencil in Florida on the next line. After all, this team has beaten Wisconsin, Marquette, Middle Tennessee State, Ole Miss, Missouri, all NCAA Tournament teams, all by wide margins. This team has been […]
