Generous Davidson College assistant Jim Fox provided me with some insight on a few questions I threw his way via email recently.

Q.
“Frank Ben-Eze… Can he be a big factor for this year’s team? 15 + minutes/gm?”
A.
“I believe Frank will be able to help us out this year. Like any freshman, he […]
Despite the return of the big three for Pitt, serious questions of front court depth and back court competence still persist.
Not only did Mike Cook get a no go for another year of eligibility, but quality guards Ronald Ramon and Keith Benjamin graduated.
Everyone knows what to expect from tough minded Levance Fields, but […]
Point guard Levance Fields averaged 11.9 ppg last year to go along with 5.3 assists/gm.
His health is a prime concern right now. Will he be ready for the beginning of the season?
Looks as if the early season schedule will allow Pitt to take it slow with Fields.

The *Notre Dame Fighting Irish basketball squad, for a while anyway, is the immediate athletic focus for the school, especially with their realistic aspirations to make it to Detroit for the Final Four this April. Going into this season they carry a 37 game home winning streak, good for second best in the […]
The Sooners come into the season as under-the-radar as you can get while having one of the most talented players in the country on the roster. While Blake Griffin is now a widely known force, soon the country will discover just how good freshman guard Willie Warren is. A 6’4 combo guard, Willie […]
The Spartans are again wickedly athletic, versatile, deep and, yep, a likely good tease as well.
Losing Drew Neitzel won’t be as catastrophic for the Spartans as it would be for quite a few other quality teams in the country. Izzo had some depth to work with last year and that allowed fellow guard Kalin […]
In July I reckoned that because of the Augustin departure, the Longhorns would be invariably forced to spread the offensive touches around a bit, at least more so than they had to last season, possibly making this group a well rounded offensive juggernaut.
They won’t be so jump shot laden and an important reason why will […]
Promising that I would release my selections…

Without the unparalleled presence of Tyler Hansbrough, this year’s UNC squad might just have fallen into the trap of entitlement.

The players could easily look around and see that every one of the starters is back… plus the sixth man, notice that turnover machine Quentin Thomas graduated, feel […]
I will never fathom why so many sports fans have decided to jump on the Duke Blue Devil bandwagon, having never had any affiliation with the school in any way. I feel the same about the New York Yankees. Why do so many fans flock to such underachieving and arrogant teams such as […]
The Davidson Wildcats enter the 08/09 season a team no longer under the radar.
Stephen Curry has a lot to do with that.
Davidson’s magnificent run in last year’s NCAA tourney captivated basketball fans from all around the country, as wins against Gonzaga, Georgetown and Wisconsin were nothing short of dramatic and inspiring. […]
