  • Hey, why couldn't Ohio State win it all?

    At the same time Wisconsin was getting clobbered in the NCAA Tournament, another Big Ten team was showing the possibilities Sunday on the Badgers' turf.

  • Lakers in familiar territory with Bynum on the sidelines

    If it's spring, the Los Angeles Lakers must be waiting for Andrew Bynum, as they're now resigned to doing for the third season in a row.

  • Michigan State plays through the pain to gain a victory

    SPOKANE, Wash. - Draymond Green dribbled upcourt, with Michigan State down a point, and that pretty much summed up the day. A sure Michigan State win had fallen apart so completely that you almost could see pieces of it on the floor. So of course it came down to a thick forward playing point guard. That's how you dot the "i" and cross the "t" on "disaster."

  • Northern Iowa, Moran don't shy from big shots

    In Saturday's giddiness after Northern Iowa had busted millions of brackets by breaking Kansas' heart, after college basketball fans across America had picked their jaws off the ground, University of Northern Iowa point guard Johnny Moran couldn't resist.

  • Cal had no answers for Duke

  • Why mid-majors have become major thorn in tournament

    Cornell in the East, Saint Mary's in the South, Northern Iowa in the Midwest and Butler in the West. Four of the mid-majors are through now, and you can add Xavier in the West, too, if you want. They are through to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. You cannot ignore them, not if you watched the games. You cannot belittle them, not with that cheery, familiar, nice-little-team damnation.

  • Zoubek looms large for Duke

    JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - California coach Mike Montgomery readily admitted that Duke big man Brian Zoubek didn't get much attention in the Bears' pregame defensive planning for Sunday's NCAA South Regional second-round game.

  • NCAA Tournament assumes new identity

    Kentucky chilled in its locker room preparing for Wake Forest as the Northern Iowa-Kansas second half unfolded. Players like keeping up with the madness, but in this case Wildcats coach John Calipari ordered the TV sets - and presumably, cell phones - off "to think about our game."
