Roddy’s Rant: Trauma in the Bathroom Why Public Showering Kept Me Out of College B-Ball by Chris Roddy It was absolutely horrible. I picked up my shampoo and soap only stopping to slip on some K-Mart flip-flops before heading . . . there. I stopped to buy myself some time, […]

Touring the Northeast
Touring Around the Northeast by Phil Kasiecki Can The Eagles Keep Up Some Momentum? Boston College got a big win on Thursday night in Raleigh, as they knocked off North Carolina State behind a season breakout game for junior Ryan Sidney.

SEC Notebook
SEC Notebook by Rainer Sabin In a conference where Alabama was supposed to be at the head of the class, a school just a couple hours down the road is showing that it has upward mobility. Auburn, which sported a dismal 12-16 record last season, was predicted to finish near […]

Oregon’s Get Well Week
Get Well Week by Jed Tai It’s been tough recently for the Oregon Ducks. A loss at home to Arizona on January 2 was bad enough. The fact they had to make a scrambling second-half comeback to beat Arizona State two days later didn’t completely right things either. To make […]
Mid-Continent Notebook
Mid-Continent Conference Notebook by Matt Amis Don’t look now, but Valpo is starting to round into form. And the matter in which the Crusaders have been winning may show that Oral Roberts does have a reason to be nervous. Valparaiso extended its home court win streak to 19 games and […]
