Es ist die Endphase der Conference-Spiele im College Basketball. Bevor am nächsten Sonntag die NCAA (US-Hochschulsport-Verband) die 65 Teilnehmer der March Madness festlegt, stehen in 30 der 31 Conferences die Playoffs an. Die großen, wichtigen Conferences fangen erst in dieser Woche an, mit den F...

I don't understand the Sonya Curry phenomenon. (Actually, I didn't even know there was one, but apparently it's tearing up the charts.) The mother of Davidson sharpshooter Stephen Curry is an attractive 40-something teacher and a former athlete herself, but does that really make her any more interes...

Being a major college basketball coach is like taking a daily bath in crock pot set at 450; you live in your basketball world 24/7, eating and breathing the insanity until stuff like what you're about to read below slowly starts making sense. Following the jump is a rather remarkable letter from Loy...

In our latest edition of Coaching Tactics For The Comically Insane, we present Loyola. Md. coach Jimmy Patsos, who had a foolproof way to defend Davidson's Stephen Curry on Tuesday. Patsos rolled out the triangle-and-two, and with devastating effect: Curry was held scoreless. One problem, though. Pa...

One of our best friends went to Davidson, and, not wanting to dare to miss history, booked a whirlwind trip from Columbia, Missouri to Detroit yesterday. We've made similar, holy shit we have to BE there sports trips before, and they rarely turn out well. It's one thing to take a crazy 24-hour jaunt...

And now the Davidson Wildcats are all that stands in the way of an all 1-seed Final Four. If they, and we've been assured all day they are not just Stephen Curry, can deal Bill Self another regional final loss, they will be the first 10 seed to make the Final Four. We know Davidson is exhausting its...

Storming The Floor looks at last night's Sweet 16 action. Davidson 73, Wisconsin 56 Well, so much for Cinderella Davidson's ride coming to an end when they had to face a big, bad Big Ten defense. That was a complete domination on both ends by the Wildcats against a Badger team that doesn't get domin...

Wisconsin Badgers (31-4) vs. Davidson Wildcats (28-6) When: 7:10, tonight Where: Detroit WISCONSIN BADGERS 1. Bo Ryan has written the book on the Swing Offense.
