Ken Pomeroy has yet another great statistical analysis of the college game. He shows that total points are on the decline while 3 point attempts are on the rise.

Former NC State star Clyde “The Glide” Austin was sentenced to 17½ years in prison for his role in a Ponzi scheme. It’s sad to see how some people squander the opportunities granted them by their talents.

Who would you rather have, Kobe or Shaq? The Lakers seem to be saying Kobe. I would assume that’s due to Shaq’s age, an old 32, and recent conditioning. (BTW, thanks to the DBR for great links today – I’m basically copying their selections.)

Now this is a nutty rumor. Spurrier to UNC. Sounds crazy to me, but people keep talking about it, even the The Chronicle at Duke. I have a hard time believing that a guy who still seems to love Duke so much would coach at UNC. But then, Spurrier loves to agitate, doesn’t he?

Remember earlier when I wrote how impressed I was with Shaun Livingston’s Dad and Grandfather? I was wrong.

Here are some more details about the Ohio State hoops scandal.

I say no, Poker is not a sport. It’s a game, and there’s a difference. Jay Lovinger disagrees.

Bill Simmons has a might fine wrapup of the NBA finals. I think the Mailman to the Knicks joke was the best.
