This time of year there’s a lot of teeth gnashing and hand wringing when a top team struggles or gets upset in conference tournament play. Keep in mind that are very good reasons for this all to common “phenomenon”. And it’s not because these great teams suddenly stink.

I could not agree more about the subject. You have to make the pass go somewhere else than the offense wants. If you can’t stop that, you have to change the angle of the pass. Anything to throw them off.

I said after Laettner’s shot and pretty much ever since, that guarding the inbounder should be

Farmer Ted that was very well said. I hope to be feeling that way again in the not too distant future. As for Nebraska I totally agree with your assessment. I have really enjoyed watching Pelini get that program headed back in the right direction. The Big 12 title game is

No worries whatsoever. Teams like kansas, duke, WVU, and Cuse have all struggled in the conference tourney. I think the close win is actually going to help OSU.

whoopsat, I saw that too. I couldn’t figure it out.

Awesome play. Does struggling with Michigan in any way make you less bullish on the Bucks? Anything in that game from the Bucks that troubles you?

I wonder who had their bubble burst with the UH win. Conference USA has to be jumping for joy.

UH: First four-game win streak of the season. The only other three-game win streak was in December. Between the two, 10-13.

Listened to the AD on the radio postgame, and he never said a word about Penders.

Culminating in a first-round loss to Georgia in the SEC tournament, Arkansas basketball in 2009-10 was so disappointing that I have trouble even writing this article and re-living the season. But let us try to find a little closure.
The reasons given by this coaching staff to have hope for the future continue to be unimpressive.

Houston is all TP, and by that I mean Typical Penders. Shoot when you’re open, some decent trapping defense, but some terrible mental mistakes.

One of the two or three best basketball teams in Texas, the UTEP Miners are on CBS now playing against Tom Pender’s Houston Cougars. With John Calipari disciple Tony Barbee manning the opposing bench, the coaching mismatch in this game is stark, and eventhough UH is only down three as I type, so is

You never mentioned bunting with your best hitter up. Nice restraint.

I’m convinced this strategy implies Augie’s tacit approval of having Balbay and Mason on the floor together.

Great article as well. I’m pretty fucking happy baseball season is upon us.

It’s the time of year when we see a lot of “state of the program” articles. The off season is a natural time to reflect; it’s also a time when there’s nothing really going on so we turn to big picture fluffery to fake like we’re busy.

We took a shot this week at noting that

I was a little skeptical about Jungmann just due to the nature of the pitching beast, sophomore slump, I’m a fag, yadda, yadda. The dude is nails, and is going to be a multi-millionaire in the next two years.

Because of a 1-0 loss. Pitching clearly let us down in that one.
