I had Belmont beating Wisconsin in the first round of the Tournament (technically the 2nd round since there are now 4 play-in games). I did not have much faith in this year’s Badgers squad, but they proved me wrong, punching in their ticket for the Sweet 16. The Badgers have not had much success placing […]

Jimmer Fredette is to BYU as Kemba Walker is to the University of Connecticut. UConn has advanced to the Sweet 16 and fans should be thanking Kemba for the 33 points he contributed to the team in its battle against the University of Cincinnati on Saturday night. Next up for UConn is San Diego State […]
This is coming to you late, but better than never. We continue the Agent Selection Scenarios series with Purdue. The Boilermakers destroyed St. Peters by 22 points earlier today, with JaJuan Johnson scoring 16 points and notching 16 rebounds. Purdue will play the winner of Georgetown and VCU, which is in progress at the time of […]
Barak Netanya wishes you a Happy Purim. I am up in Atlanta, Georgia for the day, speaking to the student body at Emory University. I absolutely love this time of the year. I do not think there is a sport event as engaging as the NCAA Tournament. And the icing on the cake is that […]
As each NCAA Tournament, NIT Tournament, CollegeInsider.com Tournament, and CBI Tournament team gets knocked out of their respective tournaments, more and more college basketball players will make a decision regarding whether they will leave school for the professional ranks prior to the exhaustion of their student-athlete eligibility. At the same time, those early entries along […]
The world has been overcome with Jimmer Fredette fever. At least for a couple of weeks, Justin Bieber’s fever has been cured. For quite some time, many people believed that a full-squad, healthy BYU team had a chance to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament, and even possibly make it to the Final […]
Going into the season, I thought Syracuse had a fantastic shot at winning the National Title. As a #3 seed, the Orange still are in a nice position to make a post-season run; however, unfortunately for Scoop, Kris, et al., they have to make it through a very difficult East Region. Will they actually put […]
The San Diego State Aztecs are not an NCAA Basketball powerhouse. Needless to say, SDSU cannot brag about having a bunch of former players make it to the NBA. In fact, hardly any SDSU alumni have played professionally, even excluding the NBA. But let’s give some love to the #2 seed in the West Region. […]
It is well known that I am a Florida Gators fan, but even I could not believe when it was announced that the Gators received the #2 seed in the Southeast bracket. The Gators have an experienced starting line-up with some very talented young players coming off of the bench. Even though the team lost […]
The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill is back in the ACC Championship game, facing a familiar foe in Duke (the team we covered just yesterday). I will certainly be switching over to that game when there are breaks in the Florida Gators vs. Kentucky Wildcats match-up for the SEC Championship. Much like Duke, North […]
