StateFans Nation uncovered a very interesting statistic that I had not noticed. Over the past five seasons, only one team has had more than one Final Four appearance, Kansas in 2002 and 2003 (with Roy Williams, who also took UNC last year). That means 19 different teams have reached college hoops’ Mount Olympus in the…

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…

While the ACC men predictably fell well short of the Final Four this year, the women did nearly the exact opposite. Three of the four entrants in the women’s Final Four are ACC teams. Very impressive indeed! UNC will play Maryland and Duke will face LSU on Sunday. Obviously that means we could see something…

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…

This is always fun. SI tries to roll back the clock and imagine what the college basketball landscape would look like if studs didn’t leave early for the NBA. For you youngsters, about 20 years ago – the golden age for college basketball, IMHO – this is pretty much what the top teams looked like.…

Like MacArthur, but unlike Calhoun, I have returned. Or more accurately, Dave Sez has returned. Sadly, I’ve been here for a week already trying to get it back. In the end, I had to concede defeat. I stopped fouling a couple of days ago and admitted that I just wasn’t going to be able to…

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…
