Kansas-Duke: Future Implications

11.15.13 at 2:44pm by Kevin Kelly

The Kansas Jayhawks Men’s Basketball team (not just Andrew Wiggins) must take precedence over the freshmen domination beginning to take place.

I didn’t believe they deserved to be fifth in the country, but after the Duke game, I can’t say enough about the Jayhawks. I thought Duke was going to win by 10 or more points. Needless to say… I was incorrect.

Johnny Manziel has made the headlines again this week but for all the wrong reasons. He allegedly received a significant amount of money for signing memorabilia earlier this year.

Bravo, NCAA. It appears you have topped yourselves yet again.

Jeff Short Transfers, but his Shoes can be Filled

4.8.13 at 1:04am by Kenny Ducey

Flash back to last April.

It’s late in recruiting season, but the Rams manage to get a 6’ 1” Point Guard out of Blair Academy by the name of Jermaine Myers. He’ll add depth to the backcourt and compete with Fatty McMillan for minutes. The team enters the offseason on a higher note than years past; while Kervin Bristol is gone, Chris Gaston will surely have a monster senior campaign.

With the Final Four beginning tonight, we decided to call up the voice of college basketball on Dial Global Sports, Kevin Kugler. The play-by-play man has had the pleasure of broadcasting the last six Final Fours and will be joined this year on the call by legends Bill Raftery and John Thompson.

Kugler told Bobby Gubin and I how difficult it was to describe Louisville guard Kevin Ware’s gruesome injury to a national radio audience. The Big 10 Network announcer also helped us break down the matchups between Louisville and Wichita State as well as Michigan vs. Syracuse.

James Southerland: Stock Up

3.15.13 at 3:46am by Kenny Ducey

It goes without saying James Southerland can shoot the basketball. The 6’ 8” Senior Forward has hit 12 of the 15 threes he’s attempted through two games at the Big East Tournament, and he’s not done yet. Just five more and he’ll break the record of 16 held by Gerry McNamara, a former Orangeman, for most in a single tournament in history.

After Second-Round Wins, Wright and Boeheim Brace for Goodbye

3.13.13 at 11:48pm by Kenny Ducey

It was over 33 years ago to the day, on February 29th, 1980, when Jim Boeheim stepped onto the Providence Civic Center floor to coach his first Big East Tournament game. His Syracuse Orange were coming off a heartbreaking 52-50 loss to Georgetown in their last game at Manley Field House, but that didn’t stop his team from toppling Connecticut 92-61 to reach the finals. While Syracuse fell short of the Hoyas again in the championship, they went on to receive a one-seed in the NCAA Tournament and advance to the Round of Eight.
