December 6, 2010 – Kevin Burke Pardon me, while I deviate from the usual format of Monday’s Weekly Knicks Notes, but it’s only fitting because things are anything but usual in Knicks country these days. This just in: The Knicks are for real. With yesterday’s win in Toronto, that gave the Knicks their 9th road [...]

December 3, 2010 – Allen Moll Don’t look now but the Indiana Hoosiers are well on there way back to basketball relevance under the tutelage of 2nd year head coach Tom Crean. He has been making his mark on the recruiting front after the roster was gutted over the Kelvin Sampson recruiting violation fiasco a [...]

December 2, 2010 – Allen Moll Every freshman in college basketball has that one game that makes a statement letting his teammates and fans know he has arrived. For Duke’s Kyrie Irving, Wednesday night’s contest against the #6 ranked Michigan State Spartans served as his coming out party as he dropped 31 points, 6 rebounds, [...]

December 1, 2010 – Allen Moll As the first month of the NCAA basketball season draws to a close, we were treated to a number of surprisingly tremendous individual performances from the likes of UConn’s Kemba Walker, Kentucky’s Terrence Jones, and Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger.

Of course there have been some surprises like UConn’s tremendous early start, beating two Top 10 [...]

November 29, 2010 – Kevin Burke I think they have hit their stride. Things seem to be clicking and running smoothly. Guys know their role and are maximizing their potential. Since coming off that 6 game losing streak, the Knicks have looked good, winning 6 of their last 7, including a 5 game win streak [...]
