November 17, 2010 – Kevin Burke It wasn’t easy, but they’re on to the next one. The University of Connecticut women’s basketball team just barely got by Baylor last night, 65 – 64, en route to their 80th consecutive win. It’s no secret that sports headlines are dominated by men, but what the Lady Huskies [...]

November 16, 2010 – Kevin Burke And you guys thought that LeBron James deserves to be vilified because he exercised his right as a free agent to the leave the Cavaliers and join the Heat. Apparently, Time Magazine disagrees with you. LeBron was just nominated by the magazine for the Person of the Year award. President Barack Obama, [...]

November 15, 2010 – Kevin Burke Man, I don’t even know where to begin with this one. Just when you thought these guys turned the corner you realize that wasn’t the case. Not even close.

They stumbled across the finish line with a league worst 12 – 70 record while underachieving the entire way. Their poor play led to the firing of head [...]

November 9, 2010 – Kevin Burke As much as basketball fans were waiting for this season to begin, the start of each year isn’t always indicative of what will happen down the line. Some teams and players play over their heads early on and some underachieve. I think that it usually takes a few weeks to [...]

November 8, 2010 – Kevin Burke I have to admit, I was getting worried. The season is officially underway and after the first week, no one from the organization had heard from Danilo Gallinari. He wasn’t returning phone calls or anything. But finally, there was a Danilo Gallinari sighting. All this time I thought the poor [...]

November 8, 2010 – Kevin Burke In a perfect world, you would like for your Point Guard to spend the majority of his time setting up his teammates, and also scoring primarily when needed or necessary.
