College Hoops Journal

Few things in sports bring quicker headlines than a DUI and a press conference to reconfirm the fact that you did not rape a woman. Ex-Kentucky coaches just can’t seem to get enough! Who’s more hated by Wildcats fans? I guess it’s Billy Clyde.

College Hoops Journal
| Comments
Always wish they’d throw in a few games earlier in the season, but I know The Juggernaut doesn’t want to overlap college football coverage. Plus, Rece Davis is used to his fullest between September and March, anyway. ESPN decided to play it the usual route: hit up a few...

Kind of intriguing stuff, really. Indiana’s new AD, Fred Glass, wasted no time trying to get on the good side of Indiana’s fan base while the program tries to plod through the mud during Tom Crean’s infancy as a coach there.

What do you consider to be the mascot that is most likely to show up, unannounced, in your nightmares?
I’ve always been petrified OF THIS and THIS. Hell, even THIS. Life magazine compiled the 15 it considered to be not of natural order. I think the Stanford Tree is only creepy...

August 20, 2009 by
College Hoops Journal
| Comments
Was Derrick Rose worth it? Word is expected to come down later today that the NCAA will bring the hammer to Memphis … by taking away 38 wins from the record books. No scholarships lost, the current team (rightfully) is unaffected. But those wins — they gone. Totally.

On the other side of the jump, we’ve got almost FIFTY FREAKING PRESEASON TOURNAMENTS. It’s getting out of control, and there’s probably no turning back. If you went to a Division I school, chances are you’re going to see it playing in one of these things. Anything...
Sypher Speaks to the New York Post
August 14, 2009 by
College Hoops Journal
| Comments
Well, this is a doozy of a line, found in the fourth paragraph of the Post’s story.
The chance encounter in a Louisville restaurant on Aug. 1, 2003, would end in the two having sex on a table — and would change their lives forever.
Sypher didn’t drop anything new...
Southeast Missouri State on the Leash for 3 Years

While anyone who claims that seeing a school like SMS receive three years of probation while other, bigger institutions skirt the NCAA would by lying, it is frustrating to see a Small Guy get such a harsh punishment for what are clearly inferior infractions when compared to what has...

College Hoops Journal

Everyone remembers the MJ/Larry Bird McDonald’s commercial from the early ’90s. Kansas State’s Denis Clemente, in the video below, emulates one of the shots fictiously put together in said commercial. This is pretty much the greatest trick shot I’ve ever seen...
Will the Clause in Pitino’s Contract Affect His Job?
August 12, 2009 by
College Hoops Journal
| Comments
I still think the odds of Rick Pitino losing his job over immoral, but legal, activity is pretty low. That said, the Louisville Courier-Journal continues to do some terrific reporting on the story.
A little nugget to go along with this drama is that Rick Pitino’s contract includes...
Shockingly, Pat Forde Doesn’t Report the Rick Pitino Abortion Story
August 11, 2009 by
College Hoops Journal
| Comments
Sorry to throw a jab at ESPN’s resident Bluegrass reporter, but it seems too easy. You wonder if he knew about this, you know?
You also wonder if the sitaution was related to Calipari, if Forde would’ve searched through every manilla folder — twice — to find anything...
A Better Dunk Video than LeBron’s

College Hoops Journal

Thought the LeBron-James-being-dunked-on video hubbub from earlier this summer was the most overblown non-story, so I never ran with it on the site. That said, John Wall puts a pretty emphatic throwdown on Jerry Stackhouse in the video below.

Or, at least that’s what could be what transpires in the coming days. There’s a player by the name of Andre Dawkins. He’s listed as a junior, but has completed four years of high school. Yes, recruiting is often a confusing, cloudy mess. Anyway, Dawkins is hitting...
