Bo Ryan Would Like To Superman That Ho
— stopvitale.collegehoopsnet.com — I'm not particularly fond of the whole Soulja Boy nonsense (probably because I cannot perform the dance...... I am white), but when distributed in moderation with the necessary subtleties... and by old school, disciplinarian coaches that grew up in Chester, PA, I suppose it can serve a purpose.

Recent Study Finds College Students Eschewing RockBand To Harass Basketball Players
— stopvitale.collegehoopsnet.com — You can probably file this under "Slow News Week," but it should be read anyway. The generally... outstanding Grant Wahl at Sports Illustrated may have been gently nudged by his editor in the direction of penning this article on the especially vulgar fan behavior going on this year. Tyler Hansbrough, Kevin Love, Greg Paulus (who is using that hatred to form his new, swaggerific persona ), Eric ... (more) Recent Study Finds College Students Eschewing RockBand ...

Kevin Love and His Magical, Cancer-Curing Outlet Passes
— stopvitale.collegehoopsnet.com — There was a lot of hype surronding Kevin Love's divine entrance into the college basketball arena. And... since I had seen very little of him, I was forced to learn about Love through scouting reports and glowing features. He had a great basketball IQ, used his body well, played hard, had great post moves and had tremendous rebounding technique, ... (more) Kevin Love and His Magical, Cancer-Curing Outlet Passes

You Must Care About Rivalry Week

You Must Care About Rivalry Week
— stopvitale.collegehoopsnet.com — I've been told it's Rivalry Week in college hoops. ESPN has told me this and given all... the ads and promotions for it, I have been led to believe that it is far more important than something that was say, I don't know, completely made-up by a network desperate to generate post-football interest in sports. While I don't think college basketball lends itself particularly well to rivalries -- ... (more) You Must Care About Rivalry Week

You Know What? F- - - It, Good For Greg Paulus
— stopvitale.collegehoopsnet.com — I've always kinda been fascinated by the hatred for Duke. I hate them, I know that. And... I know all the common gripes about the Dukies. But I'm not really sure why so many people hate them. With Duke-UNC coming up next week, I plan on writing about the rivalry a bit more, so I won't delve too deep right here, but I read the outstanding book To Hate Like This Is To Be Happy Forever, by Will ...

The End Is Near: Everyone Loses
— stopvitale.collegehoopsnet.com — Well this certainly was an interesting weekend. As I look back at the scores, I realize it... turned out to be college hoops Armageddon, with upsets galore, a complete lack of consistency, a horrific display of parity and most importantly, a hell of a lot of excitement. Let's recap. (more) The End Is Near: Everyone Loses

Rick Majerus Is Comfortable With His Body, Others Are Not
— stopvitale.collegehoopsnet.com — Sports Illustrated has countered its slow death march to irrelevancy with some pretty solid issues to ring... in the New Year. I already mentioned Gary Smith's outstanding piece on San Diego freshman Rob Jones . They profiled Michael Beasley last week. But this week it was Rick Majerus that caught the eye of SI, in a long piece from SL Price . And let's just say the Billikens recent struggles ...

Where In The World Is Herb Pope? Coming To A Court Near You
— stopvitale.collegehoopsnet.com — A little while back I took a look at the situation of New Mexico State freshman forward... Herb Pope, a kid with a terrible past but unbelievable talent. I've been especially interested in Pope because he is the exact type of player I love to watch, a versatile forward with a smooth, inside-outside game and great athleticism. But it's that past and the struggle to overcome it that provides an ... (more) Where In The World Is Herb Pope? Coming To A Court Near You

St. Louis Decides To Slow It Down... Considerably
— stopvitale.collegehoopsnet.com — This just ended, and a mere glance at the final score had me racing to my computer.... George Washington 49, St. Louis 20 FINAL Yes, that is real. If you remember earlier in the week, everyone laid into Savannah State for only scoring four points in the second half against Kansas State on 1-23 shooting, both record lows for a half in the shot clock era. Well, they scored five points more than ... (more) St. Louis Decides To Slow It Down... Considerably

— stopvitale.collegehoopsnet.com — I don't care who you are or who you claim to be, if you like basketball there... is no finer play in the game than when one player unleashes savage dunk upon another. There are many ways to describe it: "posterizing," Marv Albert's "serves up a facial," "getting banged on" or, my personal preference, "getting pooped on" (because actually getting pooped upon is the only thing as equally ...

The End Is Near: Duke Might Be Likable
— stopvitale.collegehoopsnet.com — I need to tread lightly with this post, but here goes. I have hated Duke basically as... long as I've been a basketball fan. It used to be for the same reasons as everyone else. They were rich, cocky and white, with usually their coach and a few select stars carrying the torch of douchebaggery for that oh so cultured student section. Sure, there were a ton of Duke players that do not exhibit ... (more) The End Is Near: Duke Might Be Likable
