OK hoops fans. This is it. The final call for bracket entries. You must have your picks in by 11:55am tomorrow. The pool will be locked in after that time.

I know Joe wanted some tips so here it goes for the non-bracketologists:

Pick all 1 and 2 seeds to advance. Pencil in North Carolina, Memphis, UCLA, Kansas, Tennessee, Texas, Georgetown, and Duke. I’d also probably pick [...]

This won’t be the last time I remind peeps that the brackets are available for the first annual PlunderPool. Make sure to get your bracket in.

PlunderPool 2008

Eric — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 15:42:35 +0000

OK, so I’ve already given myself the segue from politics to college basketball. So let’s talk some college hoops for a bit (at least until the first week of April and for sure all this next week!).

I’ve set up a tournament pool online and you are invited to join. All are welcome (yes, even you conservative types and Hillary supporters LOL). You will be asked for a password to keep the random people out. Use “plunderpool”. We’ll have some fun with it and everyone probably agrees we’ll need something to temporarily take some of our focus off [...]

Hillary Clinton’s Campaign is a Bubble Team

Eric — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 12:00:45 +0000

It’s not often that two things I’m fairly well addicted to converge, but this might be it. I love politics – can’t stay away from it no matter how hard I try. This should be fairly well known to those who have been reading PB over the course of the last 2 1/2 years. I also love college basketball. Not quite as evident, but I probably hinted at it. If you’ve read the about page here then you know that I was born in Louisville, Kentucky and grew up just south of there. There are 3 things in [...]

Hoops Break: UK Gets Patterson

Eric — Wed, 16 May 2007 21:04:40 +0000

This is HUGE:

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Heralded prospect Patrick Patterson made the wait worthwhile by committing to Kentucky on Wednesday, the last day of the monthlong spring signing period. He picked UK over Duke and two-time defending national champion Florida.

Bluegrass hoops is on the way back up:

Patterson and another spring recruit, guard Alex Legion, give UK its customary top-shelf talent, according to Oettinger, who works for the Prep Stars recruiting service.

See ya’ll in mid-November!
