    Selection Sunday thread

    Who did Hofstra play and/or beat out of conference last year?

    Selection Sunday thread

    F Boeheim and F Syracuse. Maybe he should have thought about this when he was scheduling 12 OOC games at the Carrier Dome, and before they lost to Drexel and Wichita State at home, two of only legit teams that they actually hosted. What they did with their OOC schedule was an abomination, and...

    Whatever you do, don't make mistakes at Notre Dame

    Yeah, coming from a guy who calls himself "Shotglass" ..;) My beef with your original post is this: why would Notre Dame be "pilloried" for a response less harsh? First off, pilloried by whom? Do we know that possession of marijuana= mandatory expulsion at Notre Dame? It seems to be a...

    Whatever you do, don't make mistakes at Notre Dame

    Oh, is it? And you don't think his suspension for the spring semester would have sufficiently gotten that message across? Tell me, how many other major conference college programs would have come down this harshly on a kid for his first offense? This stuff happens all of the time. Guys are...

    Big blow to BC hoops: Two players dismissed

    Please, stop with the pats on the back for Skinner. He could have done this last year. The guy appears to give his players more rope than just about anybody. Is it me, or does it seem like he constantly has a couple of guys on the roster with character issues (and then bristles when he is...

    Sid Hartman: Monson resigns

    The question is- how good of a major conference job is Minnesota? I mean, sure, it's a Big Ten job, but is it really that attractive? What kind of resources do they have? What kind of support from their administration? I remember when Monson first took the job he was discouraged from taking...

    must-have magazines

    Lots of good suggestions here. I've got to second The New Yorker..it is as good as it gets, in my opinion..but Harper's, Atlantic Monthly, Esquire all definitely worth your while..I would also strongly suggest The Economist. That's another powerhouse mag. Have gotten into Vanity Fair and GQ more...

    Bob Knight slaps player ...

    I haven't had a chance to see the tape yet. However, as objectionable as some of Knight's behavior is, he does have some redeeeming qualities. In a profession where everybody is completely and utterly full of shirt, he is a straight shooter. And nowadays, in a college basketball coaching world...

    Five things I didn't know about Dave Eggers

    My mistake. Gotta get up on my ESPN the mag sections.

    Five things I didn't know about Dave Eggers

    I'm not sure I believe that "The Jump" was his idea. Would Ian O'Connor agree to that? I mean, I guess it's possible, but while there wasn't much of a precedent for a high school point guard jumping to the league at that time, I don't know that the idea for the book was so revolutionary. Not...

    Barcelona 109 Sixers 104

    Nobody seems to have mentioned that the Sixers have only had a handful of practices, while their opponent's season has already been underway for some time. I'm not saying that it's a positive reflection on the Sixers, but let's keep things in perspective.

    5 basketball players at Duquesne shot last night

    It certainly is worth examining further when a coach brings in 10 recruits, including a boatload of JUCOs, after landing a job in the spring. Everhart does not have a good reputation among college coaches, and when Duquesne is competing against power conferences for players, as they were this...

    coach k = fraud

    Kobe wouldn't have made an appreciable difference against Greece, I don't think. I thought the Greeks shot the ball exceptionally from the perimeter- probably about as well as they're going to shoot it. The other side to the coin was the fact that our defense was pish-poor, and few of those...
