Ken Pomeroy has a nice writeup on the Duke-UNC game. As always, he makes some good observations and he caps this one off with a purty little graph.

That article I linked to a few minutes ago was part of a series of excerpts that Inside Carolina is running about the soon-to-be-released book To Hate Like This Is To Be Happy Forever, by Will Blythe. Evidently, Blythe has a number of short pieces that he couldn’t fit into the book and so he’s…

Inside Carolina has an interesting article looking back Coach Krzyzewski’s infamous tirade against the Duke Chronicle editors. Of course, you have to consider the source here – the author is an unabashed Carolina fan and this was printed in IC. That said, much of the content of the article is direct quotes from the Chronicle…

Remember back in the fall when the N&O had one of their art guys (Gray Blackwell) do those Flash satires of Chuck Amato and John Bunting? They were great and I was wondering if they would ever do some for basketball. Well, the wait is over. Blackwell has now spoofed Mike Krzyzewski and it’s damn…

It was bound to happen eventually. There is a lot of competition in the world of sports reporting. There are a lot of news sources and only so many stories. On top of that, you have the explosion of sports blogs in the past couple of years and it was inevitable that some chump with…

Thanks to the guys at ACC BasketBlog for reminding me that I wanted to write about this. Motivated by J.J. Redick’s run at the ACC scoring record, Caulton Tudor of the Raleigh News & Observer wrote a piece this weekend on the greatest ACC backcourt and frontcourt players. To get right to the point, his…

You’ve probably seen this by now, but I’ll risk an obvious post for this story. An autistic kid served as his high school basketball team’s manager for several years. It was a great job for him, as he loved basketball and loved being around it. In the last game of the season, the decided to…

I’m sure you’ve all ready this by now, but bear with me. I hardly ever make it over to the World Wide Leader’s website anymore. When I do, it’s usually to read a Bill Simmons column and this one about his visit to the NBA All-Star game is a great one. In particular his stories…

This J.J. Redick versus Adam Morrison race really has been remarkable. In my history of following college basketball, I can only recall one player from a major school leading the nation in scoring – Glenn Robinson of Purdue (to be fair, I didn’t even remember that he led the nation until this Featherston article). There…

Way back on January first, StateFans Nation wrote an excellent post looking at how the RPI affects bubble teams. They looked at every season back to 1999 and found that basically if you are in a power conference and have an RPI of 35 or better, you’re in (duh). If you have an RPI between…
