Virginia Commonwealth University is only the 3rd team in the history of the NCAA Tournament (since it was expanded to 64 teams in 1985) to have made it to the Final Four as a #11 seed. The other 2 are Louisiana State University in 1986 and George Mason in 2006. I had the pleasure of […]

So I started slacking on keeping up with this column, but my excuse is that I was on international waters with no internet connection and plenty of margaritas. I have to at least cover every Final Four team, though. Kentucky and Connecticut have already been dealt with. All that is left is Butler and VCU. Today […]
At 9:45 p.m. EST, the Arizona Wildcats will take one the #1 seeded Duke Blue Devils (who I happen to have winning the entire NCAA Tournament). The Wildcats are no push over, though. In fact, the team has one of the best players in the nation with Sophomore Derrick Williams. The kid can flat out […]
This Friday will make or break my bracket. Going into the NCAA Tournament, I knew I would have to make a bold move in order to have a chance at winning, but I wanted to pick a team I thought legitimately had a chance of making it to the Final Four. That team is the […]
I thought that Texas was going to lose first round to Oakland, but only because I believed that Oakland was extremely underrated. Oakland ended up putting up a good fight, but lost 85-81 to the Longhorns. Fast forward to the round of 32, and Texas went down in a heart breaker to the Arizona Wildcats. Now with […]

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 […]
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 […]
