Bearcats End Tigers Season
Posted on 18 Mar 2011 by Nate Jacobson.
The Cincinnati Bearcats defeated the Missouri Tigers 78-63 in the second round of the NCAA tournament on Thursday night. The Tigers had a dream start to the game as they went on a 9-2 early. It was the best several minutes of play that the Tigers showed since their February 23 win over Baylor. However, the Bearcats came back while the Tigers went cold from the field. The six seeded Bearcats hel...

Money Or Pride, That Is The Question
Posted on 17 Mar 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
So far, the first actual day of March Madness is half way over and the big upset so far is Louisville falling to Morehead State. Only 4.7% of brackets on ESPN.com had Morehead upsetting Louisville. While this may have messed your bracket up (guilty as charged with Louisville in the Elite Eight), it's good to know that most people in your bracket were affected as well. We also saw Richmond...

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 ...

With Tournament Upon Us, Can Illini Seniors Improve Legacy?
Posted on 16 Mar 2011 by Jason Patt.
“We're back to business. Back to trying to get a banner up there. I have no legacy here. Demetri McCamey has no legacy here. We want to hang a banner, so people can remember us by it. That team won a banner. They won a Big Ten championship. That's what I want to leave.” This was Illinois senior forward Mike Davis back in October. Coming off a disappointing season, he...

Louisville/Morehead St. Preview
Posted on 16 Mar 2011 by John Buffone.
The Louisville Cardinals may have only been a Preston Knowles’ 3-pointer away from being considered a #2 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. However, the Cards awaited their destiny on Sunday like everyone else after losing to Connecticut 69-66 in the Big East Championship Game on Saturday night. During Sunday’s selection show, the Cards were handed a #4 seed in the Southwest Region, star...

Former Bradley Guard Maniscalco to Transfer to Illinois
Posted on 15 Mar 2011 by Jason Patt.
With Demetri McCamey leaving after this season, the Illinois Fighting Illini were going to have a void at point guard. Coach Bruce Weber has been grooming Brandon Paul to play the position, but he is more of a slasher/scorer than a point. Mount Carmel standout Tracy Abrams will arrive on the scene, but relying too much on a freshmen point guard could be asking for trouble. Some help will be on ...

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...

The “Faux Five”
Posted on 15 Mar 2011 by Chris Girandola.
By now, you've either seen the “Fab Five” documentary on ESPN or you've heard the comments made by Jalen Rose about Duke's players being “Uncle Toms.” It has ignited one conversation to the next including follow-up comments by Rose on ESPN's morning sports variety show, First Take. I was going to write a column discussing it, but Washington Post columnist Jason Reid ...

Reasons Duke will win it all
Posted on 15 Mar 2011 by Chris Girandola.
Entering the 2011 NCAA Tournament, Duke once again faces the critics, who say the Blue Devils have certain deficiencies that will prevent them from repeating as champs. In fact, similar to last year, when no national analyst or writer selected Duke as the eventual winner, the Blue Devils have even more detractors this season with even less people picking them for the Final Four. The same ol...

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...
