14th seed Northwestern State’s shocking upset of #3 seed Iowa in 2006 is a great memory from recent years. It is these cinderella stories that make the NCAA Tournament what it is. This game was the end for Steve Alford at Iowa, interesting that Alford’s New Mexico team barely missed the tournament for the second straight [...]

UNC routs MSU
Well, i can say I told you so in reference to Michigan State being highly overrated(http://bracketman.wordpress.com/2008/12/03/duke-rolls-hazell-scores-32/). The Spartans never established any flow and North Carolina never looked back on their way to a 35 point destruction. The top two teams in the Big Ten were throughly dismantled by the two top teams from the ACC, which should [...]

Duke Rolls; Hazell scores 32

Mercer makes a name
The Mercer Bears opened some eyes with a win at Alabama the other night but followed that victory with another upset at Auburn. Both of these teams are expected to contend in the SEC West, so it wasnt two easy wins. The road doesnt get any easier for the Bears as they host Georgia Tech [...]

Opening Night
The 2008-2009 season will officially open up tonight with the 2K Sports Classic with two games in Cameron Indoor. Houston and Georgia Southern will whet the appetite of the Crazies before their Blue Devils take on an overmatched Presbyterian squad.
Obviously the Duke-Presbyterian game will most likely never be in doubt, but maybe one of Presbyterians [...]
