2011 NCAA Tournament day No. 1 full of buzzer-beaters, upsets

Day No. 1 of the NCAA Tournament featured a lot of buzzer-beaters and a lot of upsets, so how is everyone’s bracket so far? Games that came down to the last possession were Butler over Old Dominion, Kentucky over Princeton, Moorehead State over Louisville and Temple over Penn State. In case you were one of [...]

BYU fan leaves tickets to Jimmer Fredette doubter

By now, most basketball fans have seen or heard about the open letter written by Michelle Peralta to the BYU student newspaper, The Daily Universe, in which she asked why Fredette was worthy of such praise: I can’t walk across campus without hearing Jimmer Fredette’s name a dozen times. His name comes up everywhere: in class, at [...]

Taylor University’s terrific tradition

College sports, no matter the specific arena, has hordes of fabulous traditions. Forever part of the allure, charm and embrace-ability of collegiate athletics are those traditions, correct? So, knowing that, the video below is pretty sweet. Said traditions extend with pride beyond the Division I level, too, though they rarely get a feature piece written [...]

BYU remains undefeated after last-minute gumption at South Padre Island Invitational

far, Jackson Emery is looking good.

The BYU junior predicted the Cougars wouldn’t lose a game this regular season, and after a couple of close calls at the South Padre Invitational over the weekend, he’s still in the clear.

Brigham Young is now 7-0 after Noah Hartsock and Jimmer Fredette came up clutch in the waning seconds of their team’s game against South Florida and Saint Mary’s. Video of both game-winners inside.

Please watch Jim Boeheim do his thing at a post-game press conference

This is a work of classic Boeheim art. The entire thing, all nine minutes and 41 seconds is something that should go in the archives up at the Newhouse School of Public Communication.

Kyle Singler has great trick-shot video that kind of rips off Mark Titus

Hey, you players and coaches keep putting this stuff on the Internet, us bloggers will merely follow suit and dedicate posts to them. Sometimes, it’s like we’re barking seals.

Inside, Duke’s Kyle Singler gets goofy with his mixed tape of incredible basketball shots that no doubt took an entire day or two to shoot. The “Dickie V” shot from the rafters is especially jaw-dropping. (Seriously, how many takes, fellas? Eighty? Two hundred?)

Thank you, Maryland and C of C, for this

Specifically, Pe’Shon Howard for having the stones, as a freshman, to hit such a sweet-looking game-winner for the Terrapins last night. A strong start to our sport’s season.

Will Barton promises national title for Memphis

Friday, Jackson Emery said Brigham Young would roll through the regular season without a loss, and over the weekend, Memphis freshman stud Will Barton told Jeff Goodman the Tigers would win the national title.

Some of the greatest play-by-play calls in hoops history

Some of them never refuse to give me goosebumps. It can be March or January or June or September. Some calls take me back to the moment, the spot I was standing in and the people I was with when I hear them again. Even for the 2,314th time. Joe Posnanski had a post on [...]

UVM coach races in giant pumpkin on Lake Champlain

The video below has very little to do with basketball. In fact, Catamounts coach Mike Lonergan is in the news report for all of six seconds. Still: racing 800-pound pumpkins on lakes in October. This is what Vermonters do.

Long Beach State goes to the Bubble Boy strategy

George Costanza doesn’t approve.

Long Beach State took time away from its preseason workouts to make a video that’s already racked up more than 25,000 views in less than a week on YouTube.

IU media breaks a sweat in Tom Crean’s program

I love what Crean made the media go through earlier this week. Crean took a chunk of the local — and a few national — press corps and made them feel as if they were in the military corps. The video inside details what IU’s players endure, to a certain extent, in preparation for the season, only with the media substituted.

Not sure what to make of this, but Marquette should be ashamed

If you’re name-dropping the Black Eyed Peas, consider yourself dead to me.

‘Send it in, Jerome!’ and the other 49 greatest dunks in CBB history

There is no better offseason college basketball viewing than the 15 minutes inside.

Boe vs. Food

I’m not one for the “Man v. Food” show, as it frequently involves host Adam Richman devouring ungodly portions of food in a race against time, vomit or death, really. Fortunately, Richman kept it fairly clean when inviting Jim Boeheim by for last night’s episode. The two had a light exchange at a quaint table [...]
