Calhoun Battling Cancer for 3rd Time

Calhoun Battling Cancer for 3rd Time

Sad news out of Storrs, Conn. today — Jim Calhoun is undergoing his second bout with cancer in the past year. Calhoun had surgery on his neck May 6, and is undergoing chemotherapy for a type of cancer known as squamous cell cancer. He had a malignant lump on the back of his neck, so while the issue wasn't immediately life-threatening, it was halting. The coach said he expects to be coaching ... Read More

Georgetown Slipping Back Into Its Early-’00s Self

Georgetown Slipping Back Into Its Early-’00s Self

This was a program that was The Program of the '80s. Then the '90s came, Iverson kept them afloat, but after he jumped ship following his sophomore year, the Hoyas submerged into the basement of the Big East in John Thompson's final years and for most of the Craig Esherick era. The only worthy highlight of Hoyas basketball between 1998 and 2004 was the beautiful rant courtesy of Hitler Esherick about ... Read More

Calipari Yet to Cry Over Title Game Loss

Calipari Yet to Cry Over Title Game Loss

A lot of people don't seem to like the guy. I can see why, but I've never had an issue. Anyway, he was on PTI yesterday and he talked about Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley, his NBA coaching days of past and the dimly possible future. Around the 1:00 remaining mark, he takes all the blame for the loss. ... Read More

The Lottery Is Set, Let’s Mock It

The Lottery Is Set, Let’s Mock It

I've taken some time off due to real-life work recently, but I'm back with vigor! Everyone is mocking everything now, and that's fine, but here's my take on the lottery process. *Let's stop fooling ourselves, by the way. We know zilch about foreign-born basketball products, so although I know this Danilo Gallinari will be drafted in the lottery, I'm not going to pretend I know where he fits or should go. I'm ... Read More

Gillispie Working Extra Hard for the UK Hounds

Gillispie Working Extra Hard for the UK Hounds

A disturbing-yet-inevitable story out of Los Angeles today: Kentucky has received a verbal commitment from an eighth grade student. The kid's name is Michael Avery and according to his current coach Russell White, "He's got great tools for an eighth-grader." That's nice. It's against NCAA regulations for Gillispie to offer a kid that can't cook his own dinner a scholarship, but he saw him play in some sort of tournament last weekend ... Read More

Chris Lofton May Have Had the Sweetest Victory Last Season

Chris Lofton May Have Had the Sweetest Victory Last Season

I feel  bad now. I harped on Lofton this past season for his inconsistency and marking him as a little overrated as a playmaker. Turns out Lofton was recovering from testicular cancer.  Wow ... all apologies. He was diagnosed with cancer only a few days after Tennessee ended its 2006-07 season with a Sweet 16 loss to Ohio State in San Antonio. Miraculously, the cancer was discovered after Lofton was picked randomly ... Read More

Hansbrough, Frasor Make The Leap

Hansbrough, Frasor Make The Leap

This was thrown out there to the masses by Deadspin yesterday, now it's hit The Big Lead and will surely gain a little traction as the early, slow days of May have hit us. No need for an Almost Famous reference to be thrown out there; it's already staring you right in the face. I just need to know how hard Hansbrough fought to make such an impressive jump ... Read More
