One of the several pleasures of purist basketball fandom is watching players and teams who defy the easy categorizations of the meat market approach to the game and succeed, indeed flourish, where so many saw sure failure. Geary Claxton was one such player.

Bubbles to be busted at Bryce Jordan

And now things get serious. After struggling to lose at home against Indiana on Tuesday night (that had to be the Gophers' goal, right?) the Gophers travel to Penn State for a Saturday afternoon that is much more than just a typical game between middle of the road Big Ten teams...

Awesome Illinois, Just Awesome

That four seed looked pretty good next to Illinois in the latest bracketology from ESPN. Well after last night it will take quite a bit to get a four seed or better in the big dance. Last night I was hearing how Penn State was trying to play its way into the tournament, while...

Illini set Record for Awfulness*

*may be false If they didn't it was damn close. Illinois had an awful night shooting the basketball, making just 15 of its 50 shots. In a contest between Illinois shooting regular shots and me shooting free throws with my left foot, it would not be a blowout. The first...

Dear Tim Curley and Jon Perry, I would like to first thank you for screwing yet another sports team out of a legitimate chance at a national championship. Had we scheduled anyone with a pulse in football, we would have remained competitive in the championship hunt even with a loss...
