Goliathes Felled: College basketball’s three remaining unbeaten teams are no longer chasing perfection. Duke, Florida and Pittsburgh all lost yesterday, ending any premature talk that one of those teams could run the table. As the No. 1 team in the land, Duke’s loss was by far most surprising. But Florida’s loss at Tennessee and Pitt’s loss at St. John’s proved that no team can go on the road in a major conference and assume it will win. Georgetown’s victory against Duke solidified the Big East’s status as the premier conference in the nation, with extraordinary talent at the top — Connecticut and Villanova — and a laundry list of NCAA Tournament-worthy teams behind the top two. The Big East could earn more NCAA Tournament bids than some conferences have teams. [1/22/06]

The Seven C’s of Leadership
Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.
"Every one of us has leadership within us and this book offers fascinating principals that work in any setting—from the locker room to the executive board room. In The Seven C's of Leadership, Coach Jarvis lays out the essential ingredients of leadership."
-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
-Dale Brown, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, LSU, 1972-1997, Member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame, and Shaquille O’Neal’s college coach
