Usual Pick of the Crop, Plus Phoenix, Place Final Four Bids

Usual Pick of the Crop, Plus Phoenix, Place Final Four Bids

Just a brief note: New Orleans, Indianapolis, Phoenix, San Antonio, Houston, Detroit, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Atlanta and Dallas round up the list. The winners for the Final Fours from 2012-16 will be picked in November. Phoenix is the only city of the group to have never hosted a Final Four. I'm guessing they'll get one.lorazepam maximal doze lisinopril fosamax interactions purchase of indian fda levitra nasonex retin-a propecia valtrex beating ... Read More

The Draft: Who Stayed, Who Bailed

The Draft: Who Stayed, Who Bailed

Everyone's making a big deal over the fact that Ty Lawson, Danny Green and Wayne Ellington have decided to join Tyler Hansbrough for another year in North Carolina, making them a future universal preseason. The deadline for prospects to jump into the pool or stay another year out of it was yesterday at 5 p.m. Now that it's come and gone, we can start to grasp the landscape of the ... Read More

Only One of the Best Tournament Ideas Ever

Only One of the Best Tournament Ideas Ever

Preseason NIT, postseason NIT, St. John's basketball and Big East tournament play is not enough. Madison Square Garden is pining for three premier Tournament games. It wants to host the East Regional when its renovations finish, approximately in 2012. A terrific idea. New York could use a shot like this for its hoops. The Big East gets plenty of play in the metro area and on ESPN, but why not add The ... Read More

Indiana Is Becoming a Walk-On’s Dream

Indiana Is Becoming a Walk-On’s Dream

Another guy is jumping ship at IU. This time it's Jordan Crawford, who was a pretty significant player for the Hoosiers' '08-'09 team. The photo is not of Crawford, rather it's a picture that depicts the state of a basketball program that's in a tailspin. For those anticipating Jeremiah Rivers' return, remember: He isn't eligible until 2009-10. How long will it take Indiana to cover? Well, the NCAA hearing on Indiana's Kelvin ... Read More

Ty Lawson Arrested on Drunk Driving Charges

Ty Lawson Arrested on Drunk Driving Charges

Well, we couldn't let it get too quiet in the upcoming days before the NBA draft, could we? Seems as though Ty Lawson decided to be a stupid human being and get behind the wheel after imbibing. Oh yeah ... his license was revoked at the time, too. Oh yeah ... he's not 21. Bah, only laws, right? A Chapel Hill police officer arrested Lawson, 20, at 2:33 a.m. on North Columbia St., ... Read More

The Damned Combine (Yes, the NBA Has One Too)

I've always been a "let me see what you can do in an actual game" guy more than a combine nerd, but I thought I'd pass along a few stats from the recent combine that the lab rats had to go through. It's via Chad Ford's Insider page, so if you have have Insider, go here. Highest vertical (no step): Patrick Ewing Jr., 35 inches. Guess dad's knees haven't gotten to ... Read More
