Break Up The Highlanders!
I love the New Jersey Institute of Technology.  Love 'em.  They were the winner in the first Reverse Survivor competition back in 2007-08 and would have won again last season if not for a convoluted rule that muddied the waters and handed Fordham the crown.  How can you not hold ...

The God Shammgod Trophy Watch List - Round One
You may remember that we like funny names around here. Which is, really, kind of frivolous. When I put out my preseason All-Name Team , a reader suggested a way to make it all less silly while still having fun with the concept. He said "The player with the best stats at the end of the year ...

Scores Purdue 73 - Tennessee 72 Bear with me, here. This is an encouraging result for Bruce Pearl's Vols. Last year, this game probably would have been out of hand by halftime. In our Tennessee preview , we pointed to perimeter defense as a crucial part of this team's resurgence. ...
