As you’ve probably heard, last night J.J. Redick broke the NCAA record for career three-pointers. The man whose record he broke, Virginia’s Curtis Staples, was actually in the house to watch the title switch hands (does anyone know how or why that came to be? Did Staples have to transfer a title belt or something?)…

Chris Chase has just what you need to make your Valentine’s Day just a little sweeter. The Adam Morrison mustache bit is particularly inspired.

And I’m not talking about “Eye Of The Tiger.” The Zou, a Mizzou blog (get it?) runs down the impressive list of lowlights of pretty-boy Quin Snyder’s career in Columbia. Yeah, it was a rough ride, but at least he can fall back on modeling (I mean look at that picture! Do you think the…

A couple of years ago, I wrote an article about Oklahoma State’s Eddie Sutton. At the time he had just offered a scholarship to former Tar Heel recruit JamesOn Curry (who as you might remember, lost his opportunity to play for UNC when he was busted for selling drugs). In that article I used the…

Last night, Boston College beat Wake Forest 72-66 in Winston-Salem. In that game, BC attempted 50 free throws while Wake had just 14 – a 3.5 to 1 ratio. The Demon Deacons were whistled for 31 fouls, while the Eagles were nabbed just 17 times. Oddly enough, unlike last week when Boston College lost to…

Odds are that I won’t get time to do any sort of decent preview of tonight’s UNC-Duke game, so I’m going to reward the efforts of others. Check out the link compilations at the ACC BasketBlog and the Duke Basketball Report. You’ll find way more than you’ll ever need. Quickly, I’ll say that I really…

For the first time (that I’ve noticed), Skip Prosser talked a bit about the rumors that have him going to Cincinnati next year. He only talked about it because a recruit brought it up, nervous that the coach he thinks he’s gonna play for may not be at Wake Forest next year. The thing is,…

I apologize in advance. This post is pure vanity. Feel free to move on without reading this one. Back in September, I posted about an email poker tournament called the WRGPT (The World rec.gambling.poker Tournament). It’s a very slow poker tourney and it’s for free, but it does attract some poker heavyweights, or at least,…

We all know that Clemson has likely cost themselves a win or two this year with their poor free throw shooting. What you may not know is that the 2006 Tigers are on pace to set a new ACC record for free throw shooting futility. The really interesting thing about Barry Jacobs’ look at the…

A few months ago I linked to a very interesting column from Gregg Doyel savaging UConn coach Jim Calhoun. The article was fascinating because it’s so rare for a reporter to be so honest in their feelings about a college coach. You may recall that a few years ago, Maryland coach Gary Williams went public…
