(UPDATE: Yep. He gone!) The consensus Player of the Year will hold a press conference at 3:30 ET today to let the world know he's talked with his family, had a hard time with this decision, but, ultimately, after speaking with Coach Capel and those close to him, it's time to move to the next chapter in his life. He will be thanking his brother, the University, the coaching staff, his teammates, ... Read More
Didn't get to squeeze this in yesterday, but Bill Self and Blake Griffin took home the AP awards for Coach and Player of the Year. Griffin was a unanimous vote — the first time that's ever happened. Glad to see the voters did it right this year. Griffin will be taking home every kind of player-of-the-year trophy there is to offer this season, and he deserves it. He had 504 rebounds, shot.65 ...

Three of the five members from the presason All-America team made it through to the end; Luke Harangody and Darren Collison were such underachievers. So here are the top five players in the country, according to the Associated Press' voters. Blake Griffin. No-brainer. Griffin was the only unanimous selection, which speaks to both just how damn good he is and the evenness of play beneath him. Griffing easily averaged a double-double ... Read More
He may have a few more of these in him before he declares for the draft in three weeks. ... Read More
One of my younger brothers and I are having this argument now. Coincidentally, he believes Curry is the best player in college. Griffin has shed some pounds, added some beef and looks ready to wrestle with Hansbrough for Player of the Year awards. If Curry outshine Griffin last night, it's only because of his name and not his game. Griffin put up Beasley-like numbers (25 points, 21 boards) and went 11 ... Read More
Danero Thomas to centerstage, please.
If you'd like to relive all of these great moments, let's do this. There were good and bad — could ... Read More
Butler his six game-winners this season. He's the most clutch, clutchiest clutchster that ever clutched. The only video missing below ... Read More
I get the feeling SEC coaches have purposefully gone after Cousins to try and get him to snap. That's not to say I think Bruce Pearl directly told Goins, "Hey, if you get a chance, throw a fist into DeMarcus' crotch," but I don't think coaches have shied away from telling their team that he's a hot head who will crack if you give him reason to.
And Manny Harris' dramatic shot before it. Ah, how quickly things can turn in March.
A throwdown that Vince Carter would endorse.
One surprise to the Elite Eight and only three double-digit seeds winning in the first round. Bring me a lighter so I can dispose of this thing by 9 p.m. tonight.
I hope you gave your clean bracket a little time to itself before you went out and defaced it. And ... Read More
Yes, it's time to bitch about the seedings. It's an annual rite of passage, and before any of you roll ... Read More
Long-term, did Quinnipiac losing last night help Moore's chances down the road of going to UConn? If he and the Bobcats had won, would he be wooed by many a school in the next six weeks?
Anthony Johnson had a game that transcended March drama, and it came late on a Wednesday night and wasn't an ... Read More
You know, I'm not saying we have to fine coaches every time or make them sit out a game, but now we're starting to see a bit of an unwanted pattern with coaches being "punished" by way of a short-but-sweet press release put out via said coach's conference Web site.
