Game 7-077 - America East Semifinal
Congratulations to the first three champions of Hoops Nation for 2011. Morehead State won its second OVC championship in three years. UNC Asheville, the school with the second-lowest athletic budget in Division I ($3.2 million) will represent the Big South after upending regular season champions Coastal Carolina on its own floor. Lower seeds that advanced included No. 5 and No.
Good Morning Hoops Nation February 27
INDIANAPOLIS -- Though nobody has time to read them anymore, and the economy's so bad that folks are burning them for heat, writers aren't really considered "writers" until there's a stack of dead tree scrapings covered with their scribblings available for general purchase. It's the ultimate marathon experience for people who sit around a lot.
Living Without Football
It was an easygoing, unassuming late-summer Saturday in Rhode Island. I had completed my weekend house-husband chores (saving the stinky litter boxes for last, as usual), then prepared for a long, languid afternoon of relaxation on the patio. I contemplated the birdfeeder, turning out a few chamber-couplets about finches into a Moleskine.
Game! Of! The! Night! 12/18/2008 - Western Kentucky at South Alabama
The teams in the Sun Belt may not have scheduled well (coming off a two-bid year, the conference RPI is 22 and the noncon record is 49-55), but the league office sure did. Nothing like a mid-December matchup of the two NCAA schools from last season to bring the interest level up.
OMG Saturday
FWIW, the countdown to BracketBusters IV is on — just two weeks to go. But every weekend is a big deal as teams jockey to bust the brackets of their own conference tourneys, separating the L33T teams from the LOLs and the ROTFLs. (And if you understood all that, you’re incredibly cool five years ago.) IMHO, here are the best games of this Saturday … AFAIK.
