Georgetown (24-8) was solid defensively and executed well offensively in their first round NCAA Tournament game versus Belmont. The result was a 74-59 win as the Hoyas advanced to face NC State tomorrow afternoon. You can watch the full postgame press conference here. Hoya Prospectus crunches the numbers.
Late last night in the NIT, Northwestern (19-14) was unable to slow down Washington, the Wildcats' season ending 76-55.
16 years ago this month, Pete Carril announced his retirement following 29 seasons coaching Princeton.
This WZBN piece from after the conclusion of the 1995-96 campaign has it all: An emotional interview full of great Coach Carril quotes prior to his employment by the Sacramento Kings, archival game clips including many current coaches as undergraduates, tennis + cigar footage, John Thompson III with hair and those terrible white/black home uniforms I had tried hard to forget.
It is rare for a school's collection of clips to include much, if any, or the opposition's plays but this 67 second package by Evansville does it right.
Oregon State (19-14) fell 72-61 to Arizona in the Pac-12 Tournament semifinals.
I called it! Fairfield will host Yale in the CIT on Wednesday night. Stags head coach Sydney Johnson is a finalist for the Ben Jobe Award.
Denver's Joe Scott is under consideration for the 2012 Hugh Durham National Coach of the Year Award. Scott makes a compelling argument for the Pioneers' inclusion in the NIT.
Should Northwestern keep Bill Carmody? The debate begins.
Big Apple Buckets updates their NIT projections. I'll do a second (and probably final) run at the numbers tonight.
A reunion between Chris Young and the New York Mets continues to look likely.
Gary Walters is no fan of one-and-done players in the NCAA Tournament.
The New Orleans Hornets signed former Cornell center Jeff Foote to a 10 day contract. Foote had four points and four rebounds in his first game off the bench.
Friday, March 9th
Oregon State (9) vs. Arizona (4) - 9:10 pm ET - Pac-12 Tournament - FSN
Up four with the ball twice in the final three minutes, Northwestern (18-13) went scoreless the rest of regulation and in an agonizing overtime were doubled up by Minnesota at the Big 10 Tournament. The 75-68 defeat likely ruins the Wildcats' hopes for an NCAA Tournament at-large entry.
If you had Oregon State (19-13) as the last member of the Carril Cradle still playing come Friday, please raise your hand. The Beavers built a 13 point halftime lead and then had to come from eight back to stun top seed Washington by a pair at the Pac-12 Tournament. Robinson said this result might be the biggest win he's had, including his playing days.
The career of Doug Davis and Princeton's season are both on hold, but the Tigers certainly finished strong.
It appears Judson Wallace is suffering from gastroenteritis.
Wallace's college teammate Will Venable doubled off of the Rangers' Yu Darvish in his first major league outing. After the game Venable - who is striving for more consistency from his swing this year - and Darvish had decidedly different views of this hit.
The senior season of Princeton recruit Edo Lawrence concluded with Canterbury's loss in the New England Tournament's quarterfinal round.
Future Tiger Mike Washington, Jr. ended the year as WESCO 3A's second leading scorer.
After initially being placed on paid administrative leave, former Princeton and Georgetown assistant Robert Burke officially resigned as head coach of Mount St. Mary's.

While it may drive me nuts when Princeton players call me "Mr. Solomon," I accept that am an adult.
Yet on Saturday afternoon at the conclusion of the Northwestern/Iowa game from which you can watch highlights above, I found myself lying face down on my living room floor at the base of my television like a petulant child throwing a tantrum, fists pounding on the ground unable to take the emotional torture that the Wildcats have pulled me through this season anymore.
...and this was after they won.
From what my inbox tells me, I'm not alone in my suffering. Here’s the latest collection of videos from various corners of the Princeton basketball family.
In addition to the above video there is an accompanying article about the history of the hook shot at Princeton that talks with Mack Darrow, Mitch Henderson, Pete Carril and Kit Mueller about this staple of a Tiger big man's offensive arsenal.
