(14) Wofford 66 vs (3) BYU 74 Wofford’s philosophy? Throw everything at Jimmer Fredette and see if it sticks…didn’t work out for them today. Jimmer scored 32 points and dished out 7 assists as BYU moves on to the second round. Wofford simply didn’t have an answer...

After the dust settled from the trading frenzy around the February 24th deadline, there were many questions needing answers of what was to become of the Melo-less Denver Nuggets. Can they still make the playoffs? Who’s next to leave Denver? So on and so on… but the question I had...

Wizards 79 @ Bulls 98 With the win tonight, the Bulls have now secured the top spot in the Eastern Conference with a 1/2 game lead over the Boston Celtics. Despite being short on big men (Joakim Noah out with an illness and Carlos Boozer out for being Carlos Boozer), the Bulls had no problem...

That game was PHENOMENAL! Cold blooded! After watching a complete snooze-fest that was the Oregon-UW game, the basketball gods blessed us with an amazing game called by the Golden Voice: Gus Johnson. While watching college basketball all day today, I was wondering what game Gus would be...

Boring. Best way to describe this game. Both teams were completely gassed. Execution was poor, jumpers were short, and very few fast breaks. But the Huskies managed to pull out the victory even though they were playing at a leisurely pace. After playing the whole game yesterday,...

Lakers 88 @ Heat 94 Apparently HoopSmack needs to make fun of Chris Bosh more often (see Episode 16). Assertive and sticking to his word, Bosh’s newfound confidence in his post game worked wonders for the Heat as they were able to snap their 5-game skid with a win against the Lakers...
