Smarch Madness #2

Why the hell does Verne Lundquist even own a globe? You know, everyone has been talking all season about how this is a really down year for college basketball. While that is probably true, I don't think that it's as bad as most do. Sure, it would help if they made these kids stay for more than one year but the two most intriguing aspects of college hoops to me are buzzer...

Top 10 POY Candidates: #3: Sullinger Just Another Buckeye Freshmen Center

Ohio State is no stranger to the prized freshman center. Starting with Greg Oden, the team then had Kosta Koufos, followed by B.J. Mullens. Now the Buckeyes have another large presence in the post in the form of freshman phenom Jared Sullinger. And after having two monster games this season, it’s clear why he’s our No. 3 Player of the Year candidate. Sullinger was the crown jewel...

The Flash have reaped the benefits of NBA assignments this season on their way to a division title, and no less than three NBA first-round draft picks could suit up for Utah on Wednesday night.

Giddens Sparks 4th Quarter Rally

Without a Celtics game on to watch, I tuned into Futurecast on NBA.com and watched the Flash game against the Bakersfield Jam. At the half, it looked like the Jam was going to run away with the game as they were playing with a lot more energy than the Flash. Giddens didn't look all that great in the game either. But, in the second half, it was a different story and Celtics...

The Purdue Paragon

Outside the State of Indiana, the names and talents of Robbie Hummel and E'Twaun Moore were not particularly well-known at the season's inception. It was the darlings of Major Media, IU's Eric Gordon and Thad Matta's next great recruiting class led by Kosta Koufos and John Diebler, who received the acclaim rather than Matt Painter's Indiana bred freshman four.

Stay In Denver, Melo! | The Draft Is All The Nets Need

As the teams in the Atlantic Division have shown against the Nets this year, they are a soft, lazy, and at times emotionless team that needs that spark to get them going at the end of games. Carmelo Anthony is not that guy and never will be. Bill Walker and Kosta Koufos may not be the most attractive names, but they are the players who will bring the Nets to that next level in the...

B.J. Mullens Declares Eligibility for NBADL

Last season, the front court of the ultimately NIT-bound Ohio State Buckeyes featured a seven-foot big man by the name of Kosta Koufos.  A native of Canton, Ohio, Koufos had a reasonably successful season, averaging 14 points and seven rebounds per game and was actually named the NIT MVP (yes, that exists) after leading the Buckeyes to [...]
