"Northern Illinois's season has been a struggle thus far as it is currently 0-8 after some tough losses. The Huskies' low point came as it lost to Nebraska- Omaha, a non Division I opponent. Coach Mark Montgomery's team has struggled offensively as it is averaging just 54 points per game on 35.5 percent shooting from the field. The Huskies have allowed their opponents to average 72.3 points per game on 43.8 percent shooting from the floor."

whitey still can't jump - but maybe that's the point, or, whitey/two-handed set shot nexus in the news

"There's nothing hatred about what we're doing," he said. "I don't hate anyone of color. But people of white, American-born citizens are in the minority now. Here's a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like."

Bobby Knight picked Pittsburgh to win the NCAA basketball tournament. They lost tonight IN THE SECOND ROUND to a mediocre team from the mediocre Big Ten conference.  Hey Knight, you're some "expert"...have you considered weather forecasting?

Jamario Moon* was a surprise starter for the Raptors on Saturday, as they thumped the hapless Bulls. Moon had 12 points, six rebounds, three steals and one block in 23 minutes. He easily earned another start with this performance, although he got into foul trouble and will probably be inconsistent, statistically. Keep an eye on Moon, especially if you own the guy he replaced in the starting lineup, Jason Kapono.

*sounds like one of K-Mad's Kidz.
