Okay, so it's the off-season. I know. Hey, believe it or not, I'm a little grateful. I love college hoops when we're in the thick of the season.

Well, I think we're all starting to agree that when it comes to the number of years college basketball players should stay in school, "1" is definitely NOT the magic number.

I wouldn’t expect many people reading this to immediately know the name of Gene Bartow. And, if not for a certain unfortunate incident a quarter century ago, I wouldn’t even be writing about him now. In 1976, Gene Bartow became the head basketball coach at UCLA–yes, he was the successor to the legendary John Wooden. And he promptly [...]

I’m a huge college basketball fan. And I support all Kentucky teams. But I get a little jazz from hardcore University of Kentucky fans because I also like Louisville. So I was pretty pumped over the Cardinals’ big win Sunday over the Pittsburgh Panthers–a top 5 team. And I’ m happy today because a certain Louisville cheerleader’s life [...]
