Let's be honest, fan to fan: after a while, we all become familiar with patterns that the Providence Friars have historically followed. We know the expectations, we can read the preseason scouting reports and injuries, we know the opponents far enough in advance, and there's enough math to make Isaac Newton's head spin. Fans can...

On March 9, 2013, UConn played under the Big East banner for the last time. Though the postseason was set to begin days later, the Huskies would get no last trip to Madison Square Garden, nor would they get a bid to any postseason tournament. Their season was ending there, in Gampel Pavilion, along...

Hey, did you hear? Duke is out of the NCAA Tournament. Yup. It's true. After someone made the claim that March is ruled by chaos and that Duke would be unwise to try and coast despite being incredibly favored to win the whole thing, the Blue Devils got bounced by Michigan State in a single-point...

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...
