If you are a fan of basketball on any level, you had many opportunities to enjoy great competition this Saturday evening.

UNC/Duke

College Basketball was headlined by the Duke/UNC rivalry.

UNC was up by 11 at the half but Duke came back strong and closed the gap. This was until they forgot how to play in the last five minutes.

Credit has to go to the UNC defense; yet, it is unacceptable when a team cannot find a way to score, especially in such a key game.

Well anyways, UNC took the win and the ACC title. A lot of people are predicting that UNC can win the entire tournament.

I am predicting Southern Illinois University to win it because…well, I took the majority of my college coursework there…and I am an idiot.

This game is defined by the circus shot made by Josh Shipp in the closing seconds.

It was incredible.

It was fascinating.

It was illegal.

NCAA Rule 7, Section 1, Article 3 states ”The ball shall be out of bounds when it passes over the backboard from any direction.”

Well you be the judge.

In other college news:

• Winthrop won the Big South Championship; Can someone please explain to me how Kenny George isn’t severely overrated?
• Georgetown won the Big East. Allen Iverson is still skipping practice and ‘Zo still is enjoying his money from the Raptors.
• USC got its first win over Stanford this year; Players seen after the game making fun of Pete Carroll and his football team.

Rockets win 18th straight game

What a disappointing game. I might be the only person feeling that way because the Rockets beat my team, the Hornets.

Nonetheless, Yao said after the game “I’m not going to let this stop me from working on playing for my country in the Olympics.”

Did anyone see this streak coming?

This is totally unexpected, especially for a team that can’t stay healthy.

Well the credit has to be given to the team. They are only one of six in the history of the NBA to have that long of a streak.

Get ready for Rafer Alston commercials again

Jason Kidd plays against old team; Wife is ok and not beaten.

This game proved a lot.

1. The Nets still don’t care about this season.

2. The best trade this year was the Pau Gasol trade to the Lakers.

Nonetheless, the Mavericks won the game. Surprise! (sarcasm).

In other NBA news:

• Miami replayed their game against Atlanta and nobody cared.
• Lebron scored 38 points against the Pacers to win the game.

This has nothing to do with anything…but I like it
