A DBR reader sent them an email claiming that JJ Redick is very near to becoming the all-time NCAA free throw percentage leader. Evidently he’s just six attempts short of qualifying. I’m to lazy to verify this, but I’m gonna assume that they already did it.

The Wolfpack coaching carousel continues to turn with offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone leaving for Ole Miss. Many Pack fans had been complaining about Mazzone’s coaching this year, but that was probably unfair. I didn’t hear many complaints the year before when Philip Rivers was still taking snaps. Whether the fans are happy or not, Mazzone’s…

I don’t think I’ve posted too many (OK, any) Furman stories, but I can’t skip this one. For some reason, the mighty Paladins scheduled a game against a school named “Virginia Intermont.” I grew up in Virginia and I’ve never heard of this school. As you might imagine, Furman won. By a lot. By 93…

A small paper in Washingon published a letter to the editor advocating that the NBA institute a new postion – the designated free throw shooter. Ack! The argument is that it would make fouling more punitive and therefore clean up the game. A noble premise, but an awful idea. Can you imagine teams trotting out…

Ken Pomeroy is always coming up with some interesting number crunching on college basketball. His latest project is a ranking of temp and offensive and defensive efficiency. I won’t try to explain his numbers. Ken had a .hard enough time himself. Actually, the concepts are that difficult. Tempo refers to the pace a team likes…

Yeah, this is old news, but I just saw it and it is damn funny. Don’t click here if you don’t like a little bad language.

Jason Williams (I just can’t call him Jay) is still working hard on what would be an incredible comeback. In his latest blog entry he mentions that he recently had his last scheduled surgery. It sounds like he is really getting all his pieces put back together. Does that mean he’ll make it back? No,…

The N&O did some digging around in Beantown looking for people interested in Boston College’s upcoming bowl game against Carolina. No one knew or cared about it. So, they expanded their search to see if there was excitement about BC’s impending acceptance into the ACC. The response? Yawn. Read it fo’ yo’self. One telling quote…

The News & Observer has a nice article today about Julius Hodge and his return to New York City. Tonight, the Wolfpack plays Columbia in Madison Square Garden, Hodge’s first game in the hoops mecca. Although the N&O’s story was good, I liked it better when the Winston-Salem Journal wrote the same one yesterday.

I was out of town for Christmas, but got back yesterday to see a slew of letters to the editor of the N&O lambasting Caulton Tudor for an article he wrote about Duke’s Shavlik Randolph. Naturally, I looked it up. Tudor wrote that Randolph was a bust, his decision to go to Duke was a…
