In the end, Cassell Coliseum was no place for a Curry. With his father, former Hokie star Dell Curry in the stands watching, Seth Curry had one of his worst performances of the season and turned the ball over in the final seconds as No. 1 Duke fell at Virginia Tech 64-60. Curry struggled not only with his shooting touch all night, finishing with zero points, but couldn't stay out of foul trouble. The sophomore spent most ...

After Cornell lost the eight seniors and head coach that led the Big Red to their magical run to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament last season, many believed that that the Ivy League was in rebuilding mode so to speak. College Basketball's gurus were saying that this would be a wide open season for the Ancient Eight, with no team really capable of dominating.  Think again. Harvard (10-1) and Princeton (9-1) won Friday ...

The first time that BYU and San Diego State faced off, it was billed as a clash of the titans. A fight between two of college basketball's elite. A must see. And it didn't disappoint. Jimmer Fredette would catch fire against the Aztecs and drop 43 points on the then No. 4 Aztecs. A big second half for the Cougars gave them the big W at the Marriott Center.  The win was so big, BYU fans rushed the ...

Prior to this season, not many knew about the current St. John's team and its talented seniors.   Although they work extremely well as a team, the one person that stands out is point guard Dwight Hardy. Coming out of John F. Kennedy High School in the Bronx, Hardy has blossomed under the new leadership of Steve Lavin.  Because of his dominance on the court, the Red Storm are now ranked 23rd in the AP ...

Where the Irish have set themselves apart though is depth, when a starter goes down there seems to always be someone ...

Torrey Smith, a wide receiver out of the University of Maryland, will go into the Combine as one of the most-hyped receivers in the 2011 NFL Draft.In the past five years, at least two Terrapins have made significant waves at the Combine and parlayed it into contracts with their respective teams.Darrius Heyward-Bey entered the 2009 draft after a good (but not great) 2008 season at Maryland.  Every time he stepped onto the field, the opposing ...

After taking home the 2009 BCS National Championship, the Alabama Crimson Tide entered last season with high hopes of a repeat performance. Needless to say, underachievement would ultimately define the Tide's 2010 campaign. While a 10-3 season would elicit envy from most programs, relative to the expectations at the Capstone, it's decidedly unacceptable.   With 2011 just around the corner, the talent on Alabama's roster is typical of the Nick Saban regime. And you can ...

Back in late June, the Clemson baseball team walked off the field after losing its second game in a row to rival South Carolina, knocking it out of the College World Series. That night was the end of a great season for the Tigers, one that saw them advance all the way to the quarterfinals of the College World Series.
