Joe Alexander to Dukies: Aint so bad. Ain't so bad. Ain't Nuthin.
Hugging Harold Reynolds —
C'mon, champ, hit me in the face! My mom hits harder than you! After WVU embarrassed the higher seeded Blue Devils, Mountaineer forward couldn't help but take a shot at the Dukies, and the entire ACC. ...
That was awesome
The Postmen // A Sports Blog // Chicago, IL. —
It was a great weekend of college basketball, a (AHH shameless plug ahead AHH) great Thursday and Friday of college basketball coverage at The Dagger, and a thoroughly enjoyable way for our Indiana Hoosiers to lose on Friday. Seriously. At least put up a fight! Then again, considering the anal fissures given to the Razorbacks by Great White Hope Tyler Hansbrough and company yesterday, I’m glad IU didn’t win. Much better to lose to in ugly fashion with fewer people watching than to lose by 80 in the second round. Dodged a bullet there.
And through all that, Duke-hate ran strong. Joe Alexander feels it: ...

Duke loses; world rejoices
sports.yahoo.com 3/23/2008 — You've surely heard by now: Duke lost to West Virginia earlier today, a product of both the Mountaineers' strength -- Joe Alexander went for +20 and +10 yet again, and Bob Huggins got a near triple-double from reserve point guard Joe Mazzulla -- and the Dookies' inability to turn themselves from unathletic, three-point shooting team into a tourney-ready squad. A less humble blogger would here ...

JOE ALEXANDER: "DEPAUL > DUKE"
withleather.com 3/24/2008 — Alright, the West Virginia star cager didn't actually say that, but he did say : Alexander on breaking down Duke on film: “We knew that coming in that they were just going to stand around and not rebound. So we were ready to exploit ...

WVU Wants You to Know the Big East Is Good

West Virginia Leaves the Shooter Open for 3... Again
sports.aol.com 3/28/2008 — It's not fair to tag Joe Alexander with goat horns because he missed that free throw on the "and 1" with 15 seconds left. Yes,it would have given WVU a 1 point lead, but there is no guarantee that the refs would have still swallowed their whistles on the contact when Lavender drove to the basket. Alexander also had 14 points in the second half and had 10 rebounds in the game. Without .

Duke Leads West Virigina at Half 34-29
sportingnews.com 3/22/2008 — By Will Brinson Greg Paulus and Jon Scheyer lead the Devils with eight points a piece, while Joe Alexander is pacing the Mountaineers with 11. Wellington Smith is only on the stat sheet because he has two fouls, one of which sent Huggy Bear into a technical foul ensuing outrage. Oh yes, and it also left Greg Paulus lying on the ground.

Second Round Wrap — Rush The Court
Saturday 3/22 - Round 2
Day three of the Tourney continued on the same track as the second day, with two upsets by the numbers as well as two classics involving Pac-10 teams. Our new favorite player is West Virginia’s Joe Alexander, in part for these comments :
When Joe Alexander, the Mountaineers’ star forward, was informed that Duke had eight McDonald’s ...
Weekly Pwnage: Joe Alexander Rejects Kyle Singler — Intentional Foul
And tells him about it afterward. Alexander’s block was one of three he had during West Virginia’s win over Duke. I think he talked head on all of them as well.
If you can’t tell, I’m having fun playing with RedLasso . It’s pretty damn keen.

Weekly Pwnage: Joe Alexander Rejects Kyle Singler
The Downfall of Duke — Some People's Kids
Last year Duke fell to VCU . I still remember Eric Maynor willing his tam to a win. This year Duke fell to a more formidable team in West Virginia. Joe Alexander is the man on that team, but the person who was really responsible for this victory was back-up point guard Joe Mazzula. Mazzula had 13 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists. Alexander added 22 points and 11 rebounds in the victory. Its ...
Joe Alexander's Missed Free Throw Will Haunt Him For a Long Time — FanHouse
With all due respect to my fellow FanHouser Charles Rich , I think that Joe Alexander's missed free throw towards the end of regulation is the biggest un-clutch play of the tournament. I hesitate to use the word choke because he made a sensational shot just to get the "and-one" play and tie the game 64-64 in the first place. He isn't a goat so much because his production was there in the ...
This Week's Links (3/24-3/28) — Vegas Watch
An article about yours truly in the Emory Wheel . Why they are asking a man who had Duke in the Final Four about how he picked his bracket, I do not know. Joe Alexander had some amusing comments after WVU's win over Duke. This was probably funnier before the 81% FT shooter missed a vaguely important foul shot last night. Posnanski has now incorporated video into his blog. And a pretty good one ...
Apparently, White Men Can Jump Just Fine — Intentional Foul
Contrary to the stories told to us by Sidney Deane and Billy Hoyle, apparently some white kids can jump just fine. Well, if their names are Joe Alexander, I guess. It’s not often we find a 6-8 white guy with a 40-inch vertical. But when we do, it can lead to thunderous things. Like so:
Tom Chambers anyone ? Of course, Alexander didn’t jump over and through anyone ...
Dancin’ At The Sweet 16: Xavier - West Virginia — Intentional Foul
Were taking a look at all four games this evening and with some things you might want to watch for, starting with the Xavier/West Virginia game.
Outlook
This is an intriguing match-up because on one side you have the balance and tenacity of Xavier going against Joe Alexander, Alex Ruoff and the rest of the Bob Huggins crew.
While the Mountaineers are probably more dependent on their ...
Can Joe Alexander Be a Good Pro? — Steady Burn
If you think that West Virginia is going to beat Xavier tonight, then we can be friends. I actually picked Xavier (beating Duke) when I filled out my bracket. The two main reasons I think I left WVU out of this equation: 1.) Bob Huggins is just one of those people I look at and hate for no apparent reason. I don't think we'd be friends in real life. 2.) I was still bitter about Joe ...
Mega Madness? — The Commission
Gangsta D:
Lingering questions from the first weekend of the NCAA's:
-I wonder if Stephen Curry has reconciled with the fact that his mom was probably a NBA groupie.
-At this very minute Roy Hibbert is still open in the low post. Why won't anyone pass him the ball?
-Why were so many non-black players talking so much trash? Yeah I'm looking at you Joe Alexander, Lopez Twins, and Western

Day In Review: March 22, 2008 — Rush The Court
The story of the day was UCLA surviving an upset bid by Texas A&M. We (like a lot of other analysts) thought that UCLA had a clear path to San Antonio. With the 2 (Duke) & 4 (UConn) seeds in the West going down in the past 24 hours, things looked pretty easy for the Bruins. Instead, Texas A&M opened up a 10 pt lead in the 2nd half. After falling behind 36-26, Ben Howland rode ...
West Virginia Topples Duke; National Morale Soars — The Big Lead
Well, that was a tale of 2 halves, to be certain. After starting the game by hitting 2/3 3-pointers, Duke finished a Saturday loss to the Mountaineers making 4/20. A solid 2 for 17 effort helped erase a 5 point first half lead.
For West Virginia, Joe Alexander finished with 22 points and 11 rebounds and Alex Rouff had 14 in WVU’s 9 point victory. Alexander also finished the game ...
And, Now We Only Have To See Him In Commercials — What Would Oakley Do?
What a way to start the day! West Viriginia comes tearing back in the second half and eases itself into the dominant role in the game, holding a flailing Duke off down the stretch. Oh, I love the fact that I don't have to come home and know that the Duke game will be on no matter much better the other matchups are. What a great way to start the day! After a slow start, Joe Alexander was ...
It’s Halftime Baaaaby! — The Big Lead
Finally, we can pay the proper respect to Day 3 of the tournament as we are at halftime of the Dukies/West Virginia game. Interesting dichotemy with the villainous Bob Huggins opposing holier than thou Michael Krzyzewski. Joe Alexander leads all with 11 points on 5/12 shooting. Greg Paulus and Joe Scheyer each have 8 points for the Blue Devils and Duke has a 34-29 lead at halftime .
So ...
Predictions for today’s games — Rush The Court
We’ll be updating this throughout the day so we can get the predictions out before the games start.
2:10 PM tip:
- West Virginia vs. Duke - If the Blue Devils want to get to the second week, they will have to play much better than they did in their opening round game versus Belmont. The key for Duke (as it has been for every game this year) is whether they will hit they 3. If they ...
NCAA Tournament First Round Blog — D Wizzle's World
Best game so far has been Western Kentucky vs Drake. A lot of the so-called experts had Drake in the Sweet 16. How wrong they were! West Virginia's Joe Alexander is a player. I didn't respect him much but after watching him more and more, I realize this kid is the real deal. Connecticut is having trouble with San Diego right now. Arizona and Baylor did not belong in the tourney and ...
West Region: West Virginia Sends Duke Home Early — NYT > College Basketball
Seventh-seeded West Virginia used a virtuoso performance from Joe Alexander to upset second-seeded Duke, 73-67, in a game that wasn’t nearly as close as the final score suggested.
