What a day it has been. I’ll cut right to the chase. Illinois vs Utah. The Runnin’ Utes, coached by my pal Jim Boylen, were down 16 to top 25 ranked Illinois, and came back in the second half to win the game on a last second outlet pass and runner that was debated for …

Game 1 of 50+, and how I plan to get there

1of50

Last night, UNLV kicked off its 2009/2010 basketball season with a 91-52 domination of Division 2 Pittsburgh St. In a direct reversal of play that we saw on Tuesday night versus Washburn, UNLV was a master of the press, both Bellfield and Jasper were hawks on the ball, and Tre’Von Willis gained the lane whenever …
