It's either the National Championship or no championship. While the faithful Cougar fans are both excited and nervous as the team moves into independence, the players feel that it is business as usual. In fact, many players on the team think that this ...

The Auburn Tigers ruled the South Eastern Conference in 2010. Can they repeat in 2011? The SEC Championship has been won by a team from the West the last two years. However, the East has a total of 11 wins while the West only has eight. The SEC lost several key players to the NFL Draft. We will no longer be blessed to see such play-makers as A.J. Green, Mark Ingram, Julio Jones, Patrick Peterson, and oh ...

February 6, 2010: Fort Wayne, Indiana February 6 is not a date that rings out to many, and Fort Wayne may be more known for its annual Johnny Appleseed Festival, but the two combined for an important basketball event: the last time the Centenary College of Louisiana won a men's basketball game. On that fateful day, the Gentlemen defeated the IPFW Mastodons 80-78 behind 18 points and 10 rebounds by Maxx Nakwaasah. Since then, the Gentlemen have lost ...

Youth and lack of experience in college basketball will frequently result in turnovers, bad defense and, ultimately, a fair share of losses. Unfortunately the North Carolina Tar Heels entered the 2010-11 season with plenty of youth, and therefore plenty of the latter as well. With two seniors on the roster, and only graduate student Justin Knox receiving any significant time, the Tar Heels are one of the youngest teams in the country and it showed for the ...
