Okay, we’ll clean up the formatting, and we’ll probably make this its own page, but as for now, here you go. Highlights: at least 104 games on your teevee; more than 300 games via thishere web, what they call “ 36 exposures on the various ESPN platforms” which includes up to nine regular-season games on [...]
Opener: media day is tomorrow and we’ll be there. There are official duties, so no clue on how much content you will find here. I do know there are a few things ready to go live, and we’ll get as much posted as possible. However for those items I am unable to provide I will [...]
Contrary to what you see here on most days, I’m a fan of brevity. The Dagger blog, a must-read, gets to the point: “Midnight Madness brings us joy. It’s like Christmas for people who spend way too much time thinking about college basketball. Finally, Christmas is here.”
You know what today is. Not by coincidence, I had lunch with one of the smart people I know yesterday and he got me fired up (even more so) for the season. *** More proof that we have it better… Item 1 (and read that like Phil Esterhaus would…bonus points if you know Phil Esterhaus): [...]
As always, schedules are subject to change, but here’s a quick rundown of what I know to be the official season kickoff events for hoops. No word from Nor’easter, Towson, Delaware, or Georgia State. It doesn’t mean they aren’t having them; it means I could find no information. However you can try out to walk [...]
One of the reasons I like Shaka Smart so much is that we’re both quote guys. Shaka said that he continually builds a list of inspirational quotes, and the list is more than 60 pages long. It’s a testament to smart people (no pun intended) needing other smart people to be successful. Every tidbit helps. [...]
…and thankfully the NCAA has clarified that a basketball should be round–or in their parlance, spherical. From the 2008-09 Men’s and Women’s Basketball Rules Book, Rule 1-15 was clarified this year, stating: “the ball shall be spherical which is defined as a round body whose surface at all points is equidistant from the center except [...]
Because this is going to be an ever-evolving, fun exercise, I reserve the right to change my mind. It’s mostly because I’m getting old and my memory of exactly when teams came into (and out of) the conference is fading. That said, in general the CAA did a very good job with its list of [...]
Well of course we’ll have commentary in the coming days, but for now, enjoy the conference’s All Time Team. Sign of the times: they announced it via Twitter and you can comment on their Facebook page. That’s a far cry from black-and-white photos in a printed media guide, and a fax machine. First quick notes: [...]
The first thing we need to stipulate is that we’re NOT dealing with Mid Major Fool’s Gold; that is, the 16-2 regular season champ piling up a gaudy RPI and resume that makes them a clear at large team. Then, they stumble in the CAA tournament and the conference nets a second bid to the [...]
