Penn State Wins the NIT Championship

I never thought I would see the day when Penn State would ever win any kind of championship in men's basketball. I still can't believe it. All of the hardships. The losses. The injuries.

Sprints // 03.24.09

The South loves this Grant. Anthony Grant has suddenly become the target of not one but two SEC basketball head coaching searches, with both Alabama and Georgia appearing to zero in the VCU coach. Mal Moore will apparently take his special Wells Fargo plane-load of cash to interview Grant as soon...
