Or, why I spend so much time looking at the rest of the SEC. Also, Happy Halloween! I can be accused of being a bit of a homer, viewing things with Mizzou basketball with rose-colored glasses. A large part of that comes from me just wanting to enjoy my sports fandom, and doom and gloom […]

Duke has been a powerful program for so long that many people either don’t know or can’t believe that it wasn’t always like that for the Blue Devils. The Vic Bubas era was glamorous but relatively brief and the early ‘70’s were a disaster. Bill Foster brought some hope back and got Duke to the […]

It was a pretty tough night at Rupp Arena as the Kentucky Wildcats got absolutely smacked by the Georgetown Hoyas, 84-70. Defensively, the Cats got gashed by an experienced Hoya squad that seemingly couldn’t miss for the first 35 minutes of the game. Add that in with some awful offense, and that led to the […]
