According to Hank Nichols, the NCAA national coordinator of men’s basketball officiating, refs are making a concerted effort this year to call hand checking and stiff arms. I haven’t noticed the difference so much, but the players say the can tell the difference. With so many good, aggressive guards in the ACC this year, this…

We all know that for all the talk about coaches, it’s really talent that wins and loses in college basketball. The greatest coach in the world isn’t going to build a top ten team out of a bunch of scrubs. A poster at TheSabre.com wrote up a great piece breaking down the talent at each…

Check out the ending of this game between UMKC and Chicago State University. Simply incredible. (and don’t miss the roughly fourteen steps the guy takes before the tying shot)

I’m not getting something here. The Duke Chronicle, like most college papers, is independent. It has no official connection with the school, so it can print articles that might be deemed offensive, critical or in poor taste. That independence and the edgy tone that many college rags seek doesn’t begin to explain this article. It’s…

When a coach begins to lose the support of his team’s fans, it’s like coming down with a serious illness. The coach can fight back due to his personal strength, or maybe he’ll get a critical shot in the arm from a game-winning shot or maybe a supportive AD. In many cases, the illness spreads…

You may recall that at the end of the non-conference season (more or less), I calculated the Prouty ratings of every player in the league to see who had had the best start. (Click here for those ratings and for a definition of Prouty ratings). Well, now that we are halfway through the conference season…

When you study law, they often teach priciples by exploring the gray areas. You’ll learn a law, like it’s illegal to kill unless it’s self defense. Then you’ll explore the boundaries by looking at cases where maybe a man is attacked by another man and he shoots him. If the orginal attacker didn’t have a…

That was a heck of a game last night in Winston-Salem. It had a bit of everything. While watching Wake build up a seemingly insurmountable lead in the second half, I decided that Chris Paul is hands-down the ACC POY at this point. He was simply dominating. He ran the offense. He scored. He stole…

Surely you saw the clip a few days ago of that 85-foot shot that won a basketball game for Guilford College? Well, a local news crew asked him to try to replay the shot. They gave him sixteen tries, and damn if he didn’t hit it again! Can’t back off of Jordan Snipes.

There was only one ACC game last night, but it was a doozy. Clemson played their best game (that I’ve seen) this year and completely dismantled a seemingly disinterested Maryland team. I guess their two wins got to their heads. The thing about Maryland’s recent streak of two “good” wins is that it was deceiving.…
