I don't know what you're talking about — the Morris twins never foul! And the lane violations always are the fault of the team committing them...

Let us never again speak of the ugliness that ensued in Austin last night. That was one of the most pathetic performances by a one-time Top 10 team that I ever have seen.

Give KU its props, though.

That team just continues to find ways to completely suck the life out of road crowds. And if our current four-game road winning streak is any indication, Frank Martin's team quickly is learning to do the same.

IUPUI, Washington State, and Alabama are on the cusp of the Top 100.

All the best to the Wildcats. Penn State fan here, but I’m going to Manhattan this weekend to see them face the Buffaloes. I hear it will be a great experience.

Welcome to the Little Apple

How the heck did you wind up here? I hope you have a good guide for the town while you’re here. It isn’t big, but I would hate for a guest to miss something memorable like So Long Saloon or even Vista (which I still haven’t been to… I really need to fix that).
