Duke-UNLV ’91: NCAA’s Greatest
Posted on 10 Feb 2013 by Steven Keys.
With Super Bowl and Signing Day in rear-view, we gridiron groupies can now dive into those diversions we’ve been giving the short-shrift, the neglected middle-children in our sporting family: hockey and basketball. College hockey’s at full glide while the NHL’ers are still getting their ice-legs underneath ’em. Fans don‘t realize how hard it is to fisticuff on frozen water. It’s not...

March Madness’ Seamy Side
Posted on 10 Mar 2012 by Steven Keys.
There’s the good “Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs” March Madness: that’s the quality play, the buzzer beaters, Mr. Vitale, Cinderella stories, Selection Sunday. And there’s the bad, the King George III Madness: the superfluous post-season conference tournaments. Call it the seamy side of March Madness. The time when love for the game gets bounced outta’ the gym and love of money slithers int...

20 Yrs Later, Duke-UNLV Still Tops
Posted on 23 Mar 2011 by Steven Keys.
March Madness is crazy for upsets. More than any other sport, the NCAA Basketball Championships seem predicated on the probability that powerhouse schools will get unplugged by some small-college upstart on their way to being fitted for Cinderella’s glass slipper. Bookies and business-types lose sleep just thinking about it, but fans can’t get enough. Shockers aren’t the only defining tra...

Panthers: Loss To Butler, Worst In Team History
Posted on 20 Mar 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
The talk going into to each NCAA tournament, is that Pitt can't win the big game and fans won't believe in false hope until Pitt proves themselves. So this finally looked like the year that Pitt could do it. All of the experts felt that Pitt had the easiest run to the Final Four in the Southeast region.

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 ...

Gus Johnson is March Madness
Posted on 17 Mar 2011 by Mick Moody.
March Madness is finally among us and with it comes the most electrifying voice in sports. If you just said Joe Buck, I suggest you close the page. The correct and obvious answer is Gus Johnson. Gus, who should be chomping at the bit after putting up with the regular season all winter, is the reason why I would even consider watching the regular season at all. With my alma mater Indiana, still ...

Posted on 29 Mar 2010 by Nadine Liverpool.
Although being a No.1 seed in the mayhem that is March Madness, everyone predicted that Duke would be the first of the number one’s to go home. Instead, the Blue Devils are on their way to Indianapolis, silencing all the critics that didn’t believe in them, after a 78-71 victory over Baylor Sunday night to win the South Regional Final. After being down 35-32 at the half, Duke came back out ...
