Georgia Bulldogs Men's Basketball Season Preview: Mark Fox's Hoop Hounds Face Another Daunting Slate
The good news is that today marks the first day of men’s basketball practice. The bad news is that the ongoing NBA lockout will not permit Travis Leslie and Trey Thompkins to return to Athens for their respective senior seasons. That’s all right, though, because there is plenty of talent remaining...
SEC Hoops Power Poll Post-Season Roundtable: Year-End Edition
The SEC Hoops Power Poll is convening one last time this season for a year-end roundtable. Our apologies if you're not a Florida or Kentucky fan and would rather the 2010-2011 basketball season recede from memory as quickly as possible, but we just love talking about hoops so much that we had to...
Bracketology and Bubble Watch: SEC West
When it comes to analysing the prospects of SEC West teams making it in March Madness, it's pretty easy, really. There's Alabama, and then there's five teams that must win the SEC Tournament to go dancing. Keeping in line with the SEC's rule of opposites, the West sports only one possible...
Kentucky's NBA Draft Feat is Nice, but Not Monumental
Kentucky set a record by having five players taken in the first round of the NBA Draft. It's a nice selling point for the Kentucky program, but what does it mean? First of all, if it wasn't for the NBA's inane age limit, the old record would still be safe. If high school players were still allowed...
Early Round Ball Season Round Up
LAST NIGHT As we mentioned in Sprints this morning, points were raining down in Knoxville as No. 11 Tennessee set a school scoring record in its 124-49 pummeling of UNC-Asheville.

The A-Day UA Athletics Promotional Ads
Watching the A-Day game yesterday I was striaght-up gobsmacked by the new UA Athletics advertising campaign. The promotional ads that played during the ESPN telecast were nothing less than stellar - employing professional production values and a to-the-point message that sent goosebumps down my...

Arkansas: Pretty good, thank you very much. For those who thought Arkansas' baseball success (and, no, I'm not calling them "Diamond Hogs") was a result at least in part of their weak schedule -- have at you! Arkansas just held on for an 8-7 win over No. 1 Arizona State in front of a...
Sprints-ish // 03.30.09
A late return from the southeastern portion of Florida leaves me little time to do much, but here are a few headlines that should not be missed. Full blogging resumes late Monday/early Tuesday ... Kentucky + Names. ESPN has John Calipari interested in the UK job, and UK interested in him. I...
What We Learned Friday
Well, that went well. Consider that, less than 24 hours before the moment I'm writing this, indeed little more than 12 hours before this moment, the situation in the world of SEC basketball was this: --Kentucky had a basketball coach, even if it didn't want him.--Alabama didn't have a...
Billy Gillispie is Dead. Long Live Billy Gillispie!
Taking its cues from a developing nation on the cusp of a coup, Kentucky has descended into chaos over whether Billy Gillispie is still in control, in the presidential palace under house arrest or already on a plane to Paris. Things really got started when WHAS reported that Gillispie was gone...
