Could be the way American society sees things these days. Seems like since the days of Magic and Bird, we tend to celebrate and promote the individual more than the team. It's like individual accomplishments and failures are far more interesting to us as a society than team or group...

It's like the never-ending discussion in most media outlets. The Talent: If it weren't for the product and content we produce, you would have nothing to sell. The Sales: If we didn't sell your content, you'd have to actually go out and find another job. The Management: If we didn't give...

Just gonna say that, even though I feel I have a nice grasp on basketball, I'm also willing to admit that I am not even close to being qualified to actually give a well-established college coach a grade on her job. There is just too much stuff involved with navigating and coaching a college...

Funny, my granddad was bemoaning the destruction of the fabric of America when I was in high school in the early 1970's. I was told it happened in the late 60's, though I'm betting that it started in the 50's when that damm Elvis became famous with his sexual hip-wiggling and such. :)

Well, I have an inside job that keeps me out of the weather, but those few minutes here and there where I'm out in the cold (for me it's anything under 45 degrees) I'm miserable enough to consider if there might be someplace nicer I should move to. In the case of E.M., it might not be a case...

I've found that most people who complain the loudest about officiating are probably not capable of effectively officiating a 6th grade level game, let alone a top level college game. Of course, if a complainer is one of the rare people who IS capable of being a great official, you should...

Likely she is not referring to specific game plans/scouting reports, but the general idea that you have to come into each game with a maximum amount of intensity, focus and effort. Maybe she's trying to instill the idea of mentally approaching each and every game as the game that could make or...

On the other hand, I'm the guy who loves to do a hard 20-25 miles in 90 minutes or so on my bicycle on a 101 degree afternoon when all my friends are calling me crazy for riding when it's that hot. While some can't understand why I could never move back to a cold weather climate, I'm wondering...

For me at least, there is a HUGE difference between a rainy day and a snowy day. Not to mention the difference between a high of 45 and a high of 15. One is "this kinda sucks a little" the other is "WTF, I'm miserable and we've got three more months of this crap?!?"

As a person who HATES winter weather (and I grew up in Minn.), it's nearly impossible to imagine a scenario that would make me willing to go back and do winter again up north. 10 million a year? Well, maybe, but only for a year, then I'm back to the warm weather. No idea if that is the...

I bit the bullet and signed up for ESPN+. I was afraid they would require a cable provider to sign up, but nope, it was available strictly on-line. Will cancel it today and everything is good. Somebody mentioned issues with pixelation. I had a huge problem with that in the second half, but...

Big bucket and free throw by GG at the end and Battle clinches with 2 free throws. Challenged shots at the defensive end. Sucked it up in the final :30 seconds. That was a tough, tough win, a true gut check.

Doesn't matter how young you are, how good of shape you are in, there is a time when fatigue rears it's ugly head. Sometimes you can reach down for more gas, sometimes it just isn't there.

I think what we're seeing is a completely worn out Gopher basketball team. Those are some careless, very tired turnovers and shots. Feels like Monday night and all that travel has caught up with them.

I think I tried to sign up for ESPN + once and they needed me to give them a cable TV provider that I subscribe to. Since I don't have one (I'm not paying the $100 even for very basic cable for 45 channels of stuff I don't care about), I couldn't sign up. I have netflix at about $13/month and...

In watching last nights game and a few others this year, I would say there was actually a pretty fair amount of movement, but also a lack of being able to get open with that movement. Even with screens, we have difficulty getting our wings open for any type of entry pass. I just didn't see...

From my perspective, when GG and Heyer have trouble getting open, it's tough for a point guard to distribute. I saw a lot of cutting and moving from one side to the other and not being able to get open unless they were 25 feet out. Even when they did get the ball, they had a defender stuck on...

Something to be aware of in the second half. Altitude. That's a real thing that sneaks up on you. Might need to use the bench a little more tonight to keep people fresh.

99% of the time, I root for my conference rep to win, so I'm rooting for Iowa. I know that Clarks on-court antics can be irritating, but no worse than some other ultra-competitive athletes we've admired over the years. I would say that, overall, she has been a great rep for womens basketball...

Yep, have looked at this one several times over the years. Unable to find a Division 2 link on the site. I like that it's organized by teams. I'll keep looking and if I find a more all-encompassing site, I'll pass it along.
