Pre-Season Top 10

Promising that I would release my selections…
#1
Without the unparalleled presence of Tyler Hansbrough, this year’s UNC squad might just have fallen into the trap of entitlement.

Newscom
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 […]

Ahhh Finally

Let’s backtrack a little and look back on the picks, predictions, prognostications—ah whatever—that I have laid out here so eloquently in the collegefastbreak domain somewhat recently.

It May Be Time To Give The Olympics Back To The College Players

Anybody with a pulse has probably been keeping up with what’s been going on at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.
The United States basketball team destroyed Spain today 119-82 to advance to the medal round. This should come as no surprise. The U.S. has been abusing the competition since they got off the plane […]

POY Hansbrough going back for senior year

NEWSFLASH!!! There is actually a good underclassman college basketball player that is NOT going to turn pro early.
Given all of the recent early entries into the draft, this is BIG news.

1/2 - Kent State versus North Carolina - as it happens

 As we start out 2008, I figured the best way to kick things off is to do a running commentary of the #1 team in the nation - the North Carolina Tar Heels. The Heels come into the game a bit short handed - backup guard Bobby Frasor blew out his knee and is gone […]
