02/11/06 Duke 96, Maryland 88 – College Park, Md. I wrote that Maryland would have to come out and play with the passion that they showed late against Virginia, and they did. But it still wasn’t enough. Unfortunately for them, I think Duke played their most complete offensive game of the year, getting points from…

I just checked my TiVo’s schedule of upcoming events and saw a couple of shows in there that you might not want to miss. Next Thursday, 2/16, at 2pm, ESPN Classic is airing the great 1992 Duke-Kentucky game, also known as the Laettner game. This is the NCAA Regional Final game where Laettner stomped (stepped,…

02/11/06 Duke @ Maryland – College Park, Md. CBS (XM 191) 1:00 PM If you watched Maryland beat Virginia the other night, you saw two completely different Maryland teams – the one that played the first 32 minutes and the one that played the final 8. How they do in this game will depend entirely…

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…

It’s always a big deal when you can score a big upset over your arch-rival. We almost saw that on Tuesday night. With just a few minutes to play, in fact, the upset by the younger, less talented team seemed likely. But in the end, experience and talent won out, like it usually does and…

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,…

01/31/06 Virginia Tech 63, Georgia Tech 62 – Blacksburg, Va. A good win for the Hokies in that they needed another conference win, but honestly, it’s hard to see it being that significant for either team in the long run. Georgia Tech is already too deep in the hole to realistically consider any postseason tournament…

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…
