Pre-conference ramble
I'm doubtful that anyone is looking forward to the conference season in college basketball more than I. I keep seeing things that confuse me. (I know, I know, easily confused, so what?)

The herculean effort led the Buckeyes to a surprising 93-75 victory over host Florida and made a powerful statement in the process. Tonight, Florida freshman Brad Beal is hoping...
Some Questions and Answers about this Team Moving Forward
In lieu of the fact that work continues to slay me into submission and thus I have been unable to devote as much time as I'd like to both in-depth game reviews or finishing up the Better Know a Freshman series, I figure I should at least try to contribute something to the stellar content being put...

Tako Tuesdays: Out With the Old, In With the Ethical
