The NC State coaching search is (apparently) over! The NC State coaching search is (apparently) over! Send the white (or is it black?) smoke up the big smokestack! After a long and painful search, State has finally found their man – former Wolfpack point guard and current Detroit Pistons assistant Sidney Lowe. Lowe seems to…

In newspapers, in sports bars, on the airwaves, in office hallways – you hear the argument waged. Is NC State a premier college basketball program? State fans argue with opponents until they are red in the face – we have two championships! We invented the ACC Tournament! Reynolds Coliseum hosted the Dixie Classic. Jim Valvano!…

I never thought I’d find myself rooting for Florida in a basketball game. Not in any game, much less a national championship. My dislike for the Gators began years back when the evil Steve Spurrier was in his prime, sneering and snarking his way to the top. Spurrier gave off all sorts of sleazy vibes…

With the mass exodus of talent to the NBA last year, most people expected that the ACC would be down this year and that’s pretty much how things turned out. Carolina was better than expected, but that was offset by Duke being not as good as expected. Most people, me included, thought the Blue Devils…

If you’re like me, when you were watching the basketball games last week, you noticed LSU coach John Brady’s wife. They showed her several times in the audience and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one surprised to see that this man (look over there –>) has such a cute wife. It was only later…

Move over Chaminade, college basketball has a new Cinderella. And she’s cuter. Sure, Chaminade had a great run as the plucky winner of the Greatest Upset Of All Time, but George Mason is the new best story. Sure, you could argue that the difference between Virginia and Chaminade was greater than Connecticut and GMU. I…

Sorry for my relative silence so far this week. It’s not like me in such a fun and important time of the college hoops season, but I’ve been swamped with work. You see, an old college friend decided to put together a ski trip for a group of us, and wouldn’t you know it, he…

If you’ve poked around my site much, you probably figured out that I like me some stats. I love some good, geeky analysis of numbers. If I didn’t have an actual job and family to take away from my critical Dave Sez time, this site would be wall-to-wall numbers. Fortunately for me (and you), there…

Was Curtis Staples in the house Friday morning? No one seemed to notice, but J.J. Redick once again broke the NCAA record for career three pointers when he hit five against Miami. This time, it wasn’t Staples who J.J. passed though, it was St. Peters’ Keydren Clark who quietly passed J.J. last week. Their career…
