Much like in college football, it’s not just the big boys seeing success in college basketball these days.
Cornell Ranked for the 1st Time in 59 Years!
Don’t look now, but Cornell is ranked in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll. Yes, an Ivy League team. For the second straight week.
Even better, the Mountain West Conference–the [...]

I’m watching Villanova at Syracuse right now. It’s the first time I’ve watched the Wildcats play all here, and I have to say that I am very impressed by the strength of this team! Talented players, with great spurt-ability, and very well-coached–every player chasing down every rebound, great team defense creating numerous takeaways.

Another college football season has come and gone, and the Florida Gators are the unanimous national champions. I was hoping against hope that the AP would go out on a limb and name Utah #1. Not surprisingly, that possibility didn’t realize, but the Utes did garner the AP’s #2 spot, in the process grabbing an [...]

Every time a team continues to pile on the points long after the game is out of reach, crybabies who belong on hippie communes where competition is forbidden complain about running up the score.

Yesterday, I looked at the North Carolina Tar Heels and their chances of attaining perfection during the 2008-2009 college basketball season.  Today let’s take a look at some of the other interesting tidbits we can glean from the AP preseason basketball poll as well as compare it to the USA Today Coaches poll.
Big East Dominance

The NCAA college basketball regular season, otherwise known this year as the North Carolina Tar Heels’ Pursuit of Perfection, officially begins tonight.  Just over a week ago, North Carolina was voted the first ever unanimous #1 in the AP preseason basketball poll.  Pressure, anyone?
Of course, the Tar Heels would never claim to be entertaining the [...]
