Seemingly slow, sloppy play, with no one really standing out take the game over.Then A.J. Ogilvy snapped out of it and realized he was being guarded by a freshman.The Big Aussie stepped up tonight in a big way and demonstrated some of the polish that his supporters have touted. Rebounds are still a concern, but a stat line of 20 points, 7 boards, 4 blocks, 2 steals and an assist is not one of ...

One of the events -- the Maui Invitational -- has a video game title sponsor in EA Sports, so like every other year, there was a video game tournament held. Vanderbilt emerged victorious, led by Darshawn McClellan, who defeated Gonzaga's Grant Gibbs 18-14. (A really high-scoring affair, obviously.) McClellan's luck in the game didn't carry over to the court. Vandy, which made its...

In Maui, the Terps are technically the number 1 seed by virtue of the fact that they have drawn host school, Chaminade in the 1st round.  Drawing DII Chaminade is a double-edged sword.  ...

The Volunteers were absolutely destroyed by the Ole Miss Running Rebels as Dexter McCluster absolutely tore up the Vols defense. The end result was a 42-17 drubbing.

King Henry II The Lion in Winter So it is with the Georgia Bulldogs’ victory in chilly Nashville over the Vanderbilt Commodores earlier this afternoon.

Storming the court has been a part of the college game for years, it is a time honored tradition and to try to take that away is just plain stupid. If the SEC is worried about a security concern, maybe they should think about what would happen if somehow they managed to prevent the students from storming.
