Uconn’s Stingy D Carries Them to Victory
Posted on 3 Apr 2011 by Wilson Tarpeh Jr..
This Uconn team has done it again, the did what most of the world thought they couldn't by making it to the Title game Monday Night. This was a very sloppy game with a great ending, the Huskies turned the ball over way to much and Kentucky couldn't hit a free-throw when they needed it!! Uconn held on from wire to wire to beat the Kentucky Wildcats 56-55, the Huskies keep marching on under the l...

Gibbs Declares For NBA Draft
Posted on 29 Mar 2011 by Justin Welton.
Ashton Gibbs, the Panthers leading scorer (16.7 ppg), declared for the NBA Draft today but didn’t hire an agent. Gibbs has been a great perimeter player in the Panthers system who has worked hard on his skills. He came into the program with just an outside game. He has worked on his mid-range game and driving to the basket in his tenure. His mid-range game has improved greatly since his fresh...

Huskies Outlast Wildcats, Headed to Houston
Posted on 26 Mar 2011 by Wilson Tarpeh Jr..
The Uconn Huskies are on their way to this year's Final Four, they battled Arizona to the buzzer and held on to win 65-63. Once the game started it looked as if the Huskies were over-matched, severely at that!! Arizona was up 9-1 at one point and Uconn didn't have any field goals, then Derek Williams got in foul trouble and the Huskies went on a HUGE run to take the lead going into the half 32-...

Uconn Continues To “Overachieve,” Headed To Elite 8
Posted on 25 Mar 2011 by Wilson Tarpeh Jr..
I don't think I've ever felt more disrespected in my life prior to this week, it was if San Deigo State was the 2 time National Champion Winners with the Hall of Fame Coach and Uconn were the upstart program trying to make a name for themselves. Every article I read leading up to this game had me wondering what the rest of the world has been while the Huskies have been streaking!! 5 games in 5 ...

The Reasons Why Pitt Can’t Get It Done
Posted on 21 Mar 2011 by Justin Welton.
What is wrong with the Pittsburgh program? Is it Jamie Dixon and his inability to motivate in an elimination tournament? Is it the fact that he isn’t the greatest in-game coach? What about the talent of the players? All of these have a bit of truth in them. Pitt was the prohibited favorite to make it out of the Southeastern bracket. People (including me) thought that this was the year they w...

Kemba Leads Huskies to Sweet 16
Posted on 20 Mar 2011 by Wilson Tarpeh Jr..
The Cincinnati Bearcats came out aggressive and in a zone, which was once considered the kryptonite for this Uconn Huskies team. The Bearcats jumped out to a 17-9 lead before Kemba Walker ignited a 15-3 Uconn run to take the lead 24-20. The Bearcats got a big night out of Rashad Bishop who scored 22 points, the Bearcats fought to tie the game at 45 late in the 2nd half. Then Kemba struck again,...

Uconn Drops Bucknell Behind Balanced Attack
Posted on 18 Mar 2011 by Wilson Tarpeh Jr..
I would first like to apologize for the delay in posting this after the game, I attended the Uconn-Bucknell game here in D.C. It was the first time this year I've got to see THIS Uconn team in person, they are very impressive to say the least. Uconn had the luxury of a few days off after their dizzying 5 Games in 5 Days performance in the Big East Tournament. Uconn came out strong and took care...

St. John’s Red Storm Down D. J. Kennedy, Not Out Versus Gonzaga
Posted on 17 Mar 2011 by Nick Blanchard.
When asked about the impact of the loss of his versatile senior and leading rebounder D. J. Kennedy, Red Storm head coach Steve Lavin didn’t try to sugarcoat it, saying it’s without a doubt “a devastating blow” to the team. There is no question that Kennedy was a leader on this senior laden team, and one if its most important and skilled players who played the frontline all season with ...

Villanova Gets 9 Seed, Draws Tournament Darling George Mason
Posted on 15 Mar 2011 by Brendan Kelly.
It's been 5 years since George Mason shocked the world and made a run to the Final Four as an 11 seed. Since then they have made the NCAA tournament only once, a first round loss to Notre Dame in 2008. There is no one left, except coach Jim Larranaga, from that 2006 team, and only two remaining players from the 2008 tournament team. Whats the point? There are not many similarities between Cinde...

Is This The Year?
Posted on 15 Mar 2011 by Justin Welton.
I have said all year long that this is the best chance for Pitt to make the Final Four. They have veteran leadership with Brad Wanamaker, Gilbert Brown and Gary McGhee. Throw in the fact that Ashton Gibbs and Nasir Robinson have multiple experiences in the tournament, and you have one of the more experienced teams in the field. The field is the weakest that I can remember. The top five teams ar...
