Yesterday was an absolute crazy day. The SuperDraft came and went in a hurry too. I wanted to first of all thank those who joined me here for the live blog. I’m sorry I was only able to keep it going for the first two rounds and really the second round was a bit light on my part. But there [...]

When the smoke cleared it was Michigan that appeared to have very serious questions to answer about its defense. To put this game into perspective, the 1.31 points per possession that Michigan surrendered was the most its [...]

Siena needed Clarence Jackson to return in a big way and Jackson managed to deliver Friday night with a 66-59 victory at Marist. Jackson delivered a game-high 19 points in his first game since leading the Saints to a 72-69 victory over Florida Atlantic. The Saints never trailed in a game where they shot 46.2% from two [...]

Here’s the thing, taken individually each of Portland’s last three losses can be explained away. Miami is one of the best teams in the league; LeBron is a beast and can kill not just teams but entire American cities all by himself. New York is a team that can get hot, and when it does can play with the best teams league wide. Phoenix is struggling, but still, nobody wants to be beaten four straight times in a single season. What I’m saying is this: on a game-by-game basis, when looking at the last three nights, the Blazers aren’t struggling. [...]

I bet more than a few people expected this. Portland stands tall against Miami, only to fall to a barrage of scoring from LeBron James in the closing period and overtime Sunday night, then are basically unable to show up in their next outing, and are beaten handily by the Knicks. In a perfect world, a gut-wrenching loss is followed by an energy-renewing win. In the NBA, it usually doesn’t happen. This isn’t a momentum-killer, or a season-ender, but it’s a tough one, there’s no doubt about that. Give a ton of credit to the Knicks. In fact, give all [...]

The Wolverines defended Kansas better than any other team but just couldn’t make enough shots down the [...]

I’d be lying if I said this one didn’t hurt. You can say whatever you want about tonight’s 107-100 overtime loss to the Heat being a moral victory because the Blazers were able to hang with the hottest team in the league for 48 minutes before the game got away, but man, it would have been cool to pull this one out. What better way to put this banged-up-but-resilient team on the national map than by knocking off the most unlikeable juggernaut in recent NBA history? They came damn close, that’s for sure. A questionable no-call on a LeBron double [...]
