TGIW. Here's your Wednesday Morning Quack Fix: With Mac Court's final two games coming up this weekend, much attention is being paid to the 83-year-old venue's many memories.

RPI WATCH: 2/11/2010
There were some good wins Tuesday night by our fallen foes. Dayton absolutely crushed league-leading Charlotte 75-47, which throws the Atlantic 10 wide open and into complete chaos. It might be even more of a wide-open race than the Big Ten, actually. On the flip side, UNLV, which already won at...
POWER 16: Jan. 28 Edition
Well, I completed my ballot pretty late today, so it actually might not be counted in this week's SBNation Power 16. Oh, well. You still can see it here, and that's all that matters to a myopic narcissist like me... ;-) This week was pretty tricky, because I don't think we know who is the next No....
RPI WATCH: 1/27/2010
Man, what happened to Dayton? It almost seems like it's falling apart under the weight of preseason expectations.

RPI WATCH: 1/2/2010
There were some good football games yesterday, but in my opinion, the basketball was even better (and today, that will be even more true). Three games of note: The highlight of the day was the top-six showdown between Purdue and West Virginia, and if you didn't watch on ESPN360, you missed the...
Eastern Washington @ New Mexico Hoops Preview
(0-1)(1-0) The Pit 7PM TV: NONE The Eagles are coming off a loss at #10 ranked Washington State while the Lobos are 1-0 after defeating Big XII foe Colorado that also was on the road. The Lobos are still looking to garner their prominence by beating a road team in a power conference. While...
2007 Basketball Blue Ribbon Preview: New Mexico
COACH AND PROGRAM The early years of the 21st century have been mostly painful for New Mexico's rabid fan base. In the last eight seasons, the Lobos have made just one NCAA Tournament appearance and finished with a winning record in Mountain West play just twice, unacceptable results for a program...
