Funny. At first I was going to blog about what a shame it was that two of college hoops best players — Patty Mills and Stephen Curry — and their teasm, St. Mary’s and Davidson, respectively, two of the best teams in college basketball all season long, were being forced to play in a [...]

All the real college hoops fans should be watching them some ESPN2 right now because it doesn’t get any better than Stephen Curry and Davidson traveling to Moraga, Cali to take on St. Mary’s and their star Aussie point guard Patty Mills. Sure, the Big Dance was fun and all, but this should be [...]

Watching the play-in… err I mean “opening round” game between Morehead State and Alabama State, I’ve been seething ever since that greasy douchebag Steve Lavin said, “The NCAA Tournament Selection Committee nailed it this season.” To his mind, those of the former BCS league players and coaches that comprise 99% of college hoops talking [...]

Yahoo’s summary of the field of 65 is titledTournament a Big East feast and I think that summarizes it as much as anything.
I don’t have too much to say. I knew that the non-BCS leagues were gonna get screwed big-time this Big Dance, and, well, they did in what has become an [...]

Gonzaga’s doing a demo job on St. Mary’s, as they’re up 68-45 on the Gaels with a bit more than seven minutes left to play in Vegas. The Gaels have shot so poorly, I doubt that could throw the rock into a casino. It’s too bad since this was a game that lots [...]

Tuesday morning’s take on things in Mid-Majordom was the bit about teams that have outrebounded their opponents winning about 65% of the time while teams that have fewer turnovers win about 55% of the time. [...]

At the risk of sounding like ESPN’s Stephen Bardo, who actually is my favorite ESPN-employed announcer since he actually knows and respects Mid-Major teams, St. Mary’s was tougher than a hockey goalie from the pre-facemask-era playing without injured star point guard Patty Mills in the second half of their showdown with Gonzaga, but toughness alone [...]

Live from Moraga, Cali, 23rd-ranked St. Mary’s is trailing Gonzaga 25-23 with 7:12 left in the first half. From the fired up students in the jam-packed rafters to the action on the hardwood, where the Gaels and ‘Zags have went at each other possession after possession, this could easily be one of the best [...]
