The regression continues. Louisville remains ofer Littlejohn. Clemson had lost four in a row coming in.

Hoopaholic’s Gazette: Coaching Consternation

Even the most optimistic of Louisville hoops fanatics understand the Cardinals have fallen short of expectations.  Thus, as they say in support group settings, said expectations unrealized have led to resentments. Thereby, despite a 20-8 record and a fairly firm grasp of an invite to the Dance, the natives are restless. Not without some justification. […]

Cards Fall to Virginia 74-72

Seedy K’s GameCap: Georgia Tech

According to Homer — Homer the Scribe, not Homer Simpson — Thetis dipped her son as a babe into the River Styx. Which was meant to impart invulnerability, or so I surmise. Which worked, more or less, because that son Achilles was a hero of the Trojan War. And was considered to be invulnerable. Except […]
