Mark Cuban has a pretty interesting statistical article up showing just how valuable the three from the corner is in the NBA. The three point line on the sides is shorter than the top, with the corner being the closest. Cuban’s stats show that the league hits 37.6% from the corner vs. 33.6% from the…

I’ve somehow missed this story, but it’s a good one. There’s a federal trial going on in Memphis where a high school coach has testified to collecting $150,000 to steer a football player to Alabama. But wait, it doesn’t end there. He also took money from Kentucky (who says they don’t care about football?) and…

The ACC Hoops Blog did me a service today. They found Barry Jacobs. Apparently, he wasn’t really missing; I just didn’t know he was writing for TarHeelDaily.com, a site I didn’t know about. It’s kind of odd, because I always thought that Jacobs was a Duke alumnus. For the younger readers, Barry Jacobs used to…

Yoni Cohen’s College Basketball blog is an amazing collection of links and stories from all over college basketball. I have no idea how he’s able to find so many stories from so many different sources. Hopefully Yoni’s a pseudonym so his employer can’t figure out what he’s doing with his time. I get a decent…

I had a longer writeup of the weekend’s games in the works (meaning “in my head”), but time’s running out, so I’ll just do a quickie and get you the updated ratings chart.

A poster to the message board at DukeBasketballReport.com wrote up a great article – The Five Secrets of K-Ville and Tenting. In it, he dispels many oft-repeated myths about Krzyzewskiville and the supposed hardships endured by it’s citizens.

This is pretty funny, a Maryland fan succeeded in tricking Duke’s Cameron Crazies into chanting about their own Myron Piggie scandal (info) during Wednesday’s game against Maryland. The Terp fan pretended to be a Dukie (JerseyKidatDuke) and gave the CheerSheets folks some “inside information” about Nik Caner-Medley. He told them that Nik’s girlfriend is named…

Last night’s Wake Forest-Georgia Tech game was a lot of fun to watch, wasn’t it? It wasn’t the most beautiful execution you’ll ever see, but both teams went after each other with abandon. There’s just something fun about watching backcourts full of athletic, aggressive players attack each other. Jack, Bynum, Paul and Gray – those…

Follow the sequence from this weekend – Duke crushes FSU in Tallahassee, NC State stomps Maryland in College Park, Florida State beats State in Raleigh and then Maryland beats Duke at Duke. It doesn’t make much sense, does it? Games seem like they are completely random – a roll of the dice. It seems that…
