The First Annual Feinberg Academic All-American Basketball Classic

This past Saturday at Citizens Bank Arena, in Ontario, CA, the culmination of a new kind of sporting event took place. A high school all-American weekend dedicated to celebrating the participating scholar-athlete’s character as well as their caliber of play and (to quote the founder and chairman Robert Icart) “promoting the education and athletics at [...]

The Exportation of Jeremy Tyler

April 30, 2009

Jeremy Tyler, hailed by many as the best big man prospects to come along since Tyson Chandler and Greg Oden, has decided to forgo his senior year to play professionally. Ordinarily this wouldn’t be a big deal. Many collegiate basketball players leave school early to pursue their pro aspirations now-a-days. In fact, of players taken [...]

Paul Pierce, Overrated

April 21, 2009

First, I want to apologize for the lack of posts lately. We have been extremely busy on some other projects and just have not had the time to work on posting our thoughts on what is going on in the basketball world. If you have a chance, check out our Lahaina.com website. It is a [...]

UNC – “One Shining Moment”

April 7, 2009

As we all know, last night the UNC Tarheels won the 2009 NCAA Men’s basketball championship. To many, their win came as no surprise and the Tarheels were hands down the best team in the tournament. From the beginning of the year, even with their slight hiccups, they had the most talent in the nation [...]

History of March Madness

March 24, 2009

Interestingly enough, the term March Madness has been around to describe basketball tournaments since 1939. However, it initially described the Illinois State High School tournament, not the NCAA tournament. Over the years, it has become associated with the NCAA tournament to the point where it overshadows its true roots. Illinois Roots “March Madness” was born [...]

Shirt Under the Jersey: Yes or No?

March 13, 2009

So, a college buddy has started a blog (WierdShirtlessGuy.com) about all sorts of random stuff.  My understanding is his posts are mainly about trash talking and hoops.  It’s hilarious, I do suggest a read. His most recent post brought up a great point about wearing a shirt, cutoff, or spandex shirt (underarmour) under your jersey.  I agree with [...]

19’9” versus 20’9”

December 26, 2008

If you’ve been watching NCAA basketball this year it’s been hard not to notice the newly minted 20’9” men’s three-point line, if for no other reason than it looks strange on the floor – just outside the old distance (19’9”), not quite the same as the international distance (20’6”) and still a good ways from [...]

Where is the Capital of College Basketball?

November 7, 2008

I started looking through my calendar today, trying to line up some games to go to this season.  First I had a look at the Lakers schedule, but then realized Kobe’s contract hadn’t expired yet and quickly moved on to College basketball. I started with UCLA.  I input all of their games into the calendar.  [...]

All-Americans

November 6, 2008

The AP pre-season All-America team was announced Monday.  Not many surprises, and I feel, pretty accurate, although I do not put a lot of trust in the true knowledge of the media. Most media members just look at stats.  An old teammate of mine once made the observation that everybody puts such faith in what the media says, [...]
