Once again, the Duke Blue Devils have stayed true to the NCAA mantra and “survived and advanced" past ACC foe Virginia Tech into the Elite 8. Much like the UCF Golden Knights before them, the Hokies failed on a (pretty open) last second tip-in that would have forced an OT with Duke to potentially taken...

I don't know if there was a definitive point where Michigan's fate was sealed on Thursday night against Texas Tech. It could have been the 16 points scored in the first half, or the 5% shooting from three, but you couldn't have predicted these things as a the game unfolded. It was, in some...

The Providence Friars had their backs against the wall this season. They weren't quite out of the conversation, but they had ground they desperately needed to make up. It was going to take winning in the conference as well as some noise in the Big East Tournament if they realistically wanted to turn their...

Leave it to the Providence Friars to keep things interesting in late February. While many teams are feeling good about which side of the bubble they're on, and a few are playing to get on the right side of the bubble, the Providence Friars are the "chaotic neutral" team that seem to follow no discernible...

When I was at the tender age of six I knew exactly what car I wanted when I grew up: I wanted the Batmobile from Tim Burton's 1989 comic book masterpiece, Batman. Now, at 30, I want the Batmobile even more than ever. But that was just the first in many cars through the history of...

This past Sunday, I (along with the rest of America) saw the New England Patriots win their sixth Super Bowl. For me, it was equal parts incredible (seriously, nobody gets tired of winning and I won't apologize for it) and shocking. All throughout the regular season I didn't think the Pats had it in...

Wrestling fans have a lot to be excited about this weekend, when Royal Rumble Weekend makes it way to Phoenix, Arizona for five days of back-to-back action-packed events. The buzz of this event comes from a lineup of exciting matches as well as marking the first time Royal Rumble has been held at a...

After Providence got their first Big East win over Seton Hall, I felt comfortable with the prospect of them going 1-1 on their two game road trip to Wisconsin and Ohio, with a loss at Marquette being the most likely loss and a win at Xavier. Still a tall order, but manageable. It would...

Well, that didn't go as planned for the Providence Friars. After riding high momentum from the out of conference closeout, I thought the Friars had found their groove. Given their strong finish and the lineup of Big East opponents to start conference play, I didn't think it unreasonable for the Friars to start off with...

I've never been much of a New Year's resolution type person. Maybe it's the idea that making a promise to myself that I won't care about in two weeks seems like a waste of energy. Or it could be because, come January 1, I can never get a workout in at my gym because...
