8.7 Rebound margin – number one on the country. Two better than any team remaining (West Virginia – 6.6).
Who Am I? March 31, 2010 »
I never knew much about stress and anxiety. At least, I did not know about that stuff while I was on the hardwood. I had quite a bit to do with my school winning its second national title in the same decade. I was a freshman, and people expected a lot from me after that.
Final Four Capsules: Butler Bulldogs »
Butler’s 69.4 points per game ranks 157th. The obvious conclusion would be that the Bulldogs slow down the game. It gets tricky when looking at their field goal percentage 44.9 (89th) and 3-pt. percentage of 34.5 (148th). Combine that with a rebound margin of 2.9 (77th) and it can get confusing as to how the Bulldogs have run off 24 in a row.

What can be said about Tom Izzo, that has not already been stated? While others recruit, Izzo coaches. Add to that, the guy does not air his dirty laundry in public.

Who Am I? March 24, 2010 »
Two years in a row the accomplishments of others have reminded fans of what my team did three decades ago. Last year, my son started on a team that advanced to the Final Four. Fans were talking about what we pulled off. This year, a team from our conference is trying on Cinderella’s slipper…
Tennessee – Michigan State: Tale Of The Tape »
Experience versus enthusiasm. Michigan State is supposed to be here. The Spartans returned seven players that played at least 12 minutes in last year’s national final. Tennessee showed glimpses of being spectacular this season. The Volunteers knocked two number ones from the pedestal this season: Kansas and Kentucky.
Baylor – Duke: Tale Of The Tape »
Which force is the strongest? Baylor might have the best blend of athleticism and talent in the country. Can Dunn succeed against Duke’s pressure on the perimeter? The Blue Devils limit opposing shooters to 27.8 percent from behind the arc (2nd in the nation). In the Blue Devil defense, Baylor will find a group that does not back down. Dunn and teammates might have hot stretches today, but Duke will make them prove it for the entire game…
Xavier and Kansas State: The Way The Game Was Intended »
The match offered no catchy personalities. Fans can search both rosters. There is not much hype to be found. Kansas State has Jacob Pullen. He inspires denizens of the Fred Bramlage Coliseum to wear mock beards. Xavier’s Jordan Crawford created a stir last summer when he posterized a king.
