David is a chip off the old block

Gonzaga guard David Stockton shows that he has full command of his father's basketball genes in the final seconds of the first half.



John is definitely a proud papa.

Hoosiers disapprove of you, Sullinger.

Ohio State 85 - Indiana 67

So there was that. And here is your reference point.

880

Why are people so concerned with Duke coach Krzyzewski and his 880 wins? He passed Dean Smith and with a handful of wins will pass Booby Knight. But who cares. Will those wins get the Blue Devils an ACC Championship? Will those wins get them another Final Four appearance?

Will those wins get Duke another National Championship?

We think not. So once again who cares. Titles are what people respect, not wins. Just ask Dan Marino.

CBS attack

We are starting to become fans of Gary Parrish's CBS Poll Attacks. Very thoughtful and insightful and more times than not right on the money. The only thing we disagree with in this installment is that Michigan State has a good win by beating Washington.

We wouldn't count any beaten Pac-10 team as a good win obviously.

"Ain't no way some candy ass snake oil salesman ESPN fuckin' ANALYST fake coach can come into our house and beat us. No. NO!"
- Coach Bob Huggins, West Virginia

"Yes we can."
- Coach Steve Lavin, St. John's

St. John's 81 - West Virginia 71

Two words: field goals, son. That's how you win games. You get 61% of them and you tend to be victorious. You get 37% of them and you tend to drown your sorrows with alcohol.

Hit me!

Now I looked at the Pac-10 some time ago
Don't you see how much they be losing
They only win when they play division 2A
Feasting on cupcakes even in division play
But they don't care because they get ranked anyway
To Larry Scott the AP voters won't betray
They seem to stumble with lightweight teams
If you bet on the west then you're broke today
ESPN's Game Day won't visit their campus
Unless a top ranked team is coming to do damage
The student bodies are all in a panic
The hype over Washington State is making 'em say cram it.
Bruins, Wildcats, Trojans and Cougars
It's a race to the bottom and the fans are saying "screw ya"
So get up get get get down
The Pac-10 conference is a joke in yo town

Meh

Syracuse 81 - Providence 74

Is it just us or did the Friars have this game within reach only to give it up? Yes, the Orange technically had the advantage in all statistical categories but Providence was never behind by more than a dozen. For a team ranked 5th in the nation we expected this game to be more like the Ohio State/Tennessee-Martin pounding. I guess what we are trying to say is that Syracuse may be a tad bit OVERRATED.
