Last week over at ESPN.com, Dave Telep wrote a great piece regarding what he has seen in what has become the entitlement culture surrounding elite high school basketball. While he did give some great tips in how some values can be instilled in players which can help alleviate this problem in the future, there […]

    The Portsmouth Invitational Tournament for seniors kicks off tonight with 64 guys looking to make their mark in front of numerous NBA scouts and executives. While the games are not exactly the best way to judge these players, teams may start to get a sense of who they will want to see in […]

    Wichita State vs. Louisville Wichita State has been successful this season by setting the pace on both ends of the floor. Tough on-ball defense combined with some physical play has made the Shockers a solid match-up against most teams.  On the offensive end, don’t let Louisville pressure the ball out high. Malcolm Armstead […]

  Photo: James Snook/USA Today Sports Tonight’s Matchups Arizona at Oregon  Arizona has had a remarkable run to 14-0, with a lot of luck thrown in.  I don’t see that lasting much longer, and most will see that while this team is good, they aren’t among the country’s best.  Mark Lyons isn’t the point guard […]

  Thoughts From Last Night –          Quinn Cook had as big a bounce-back scoring game as one could have, going 12-16 from the floor for 27 points, while only committing 1 turnover against Clemson’s pressure defense.  The rest of the team struggled on the offensive end, but they forced the Clemson offense into too many […]

    Thoughts From Last Night –          A very quiet hoops night last night, but I did catch the Notre Dame-Cincinnati matchup.  Jack Cooley had some early difficulty with the Bearcats’ length, but he used his strength advantage well down the stretch.  Jerian Grant continues to use his athleticism well to get into the lane […]

  It’s a quiet night in college hoops with the Football National Championship game tonight (Go Irish!!!), so this will be quick Daily.  Thoughts From The Weekend –          I want to start off and wish C.J. McCollum a speedy and safe recovery from his broken foot, and injury which occurred during Lehigh’s Saturday game against […]

  Thoughts From Last Night –           As of this writing, the debate is still going on: Did the refs screw Colorado on Sabatino Chen’s last-second 3-point winner?  It was ruled no good, and Colorado went on to complete their collapse against Arizona.  Mark Lyons wasn’t very good throughout the first 30 or so minutes, but […]

  Photo: Kevin Rivoli/AP Thoughts From Last Night –          Congrats to Jim Boeheim on win number 903, and moving to #2 on the all-time wins list.  Brandon Triche took advantage of a lackluster Rutgers squad with timely perimeter shooting and great anticipation at the top of the zone defense leading to turnovers and easy baskets. […]
