NCAA Men's Basketball

Last week was one of mixed emotions for me. On Wednesday the team played Puerto Rico Mayaguez. The team played very well. Hans Schur had a big scoring night, dropping 25 points, while Michael Baptiste had a huge night off the bench scoring 17 points and providing a much needed spark. Coach McMillin moved to 4-0 against Puerto Rico Mayaguez. Thursday was Thanksgiving, as I’m sure you know. I started the day off with practice. Then afterwards, we as a team went to dinner at Legal Seafood, then... Read Full Story

Well it looks like the college basketball season has started to emulate the college football season, where upsets riddle the Top 25, as No.1 North Carolina, No.4 UCLA, No.9 Texas A&M;, No.15 Ole Miss, and No. 16 Pitt all lost on Saturday.

Last year, we beat Bethune in a good game and I think this year will be another good game. That game will be on Saturday November 3rd. Then on Monday, we have the honor of going to Gainsville to play the two-time defending champion University of Florida Gators. I can’t wait for this game because hopefully, I can meet Billy Donovan. I think he is a great... Read Full Story

The 3 newcomers to the poll are Miami (FL), West Virginia, and USC. Of course the favorite team of Mud Free Sports is the Orange of Syracuse who had a big time set back on Saturday as Guard Eric Devendorf is out for the year, joining Andy Rautins on the P.U.P. list. This means that Syracuse could go to an Junior to run the point... Read Full Story
