Seedy K’s Tuesday Scopes & Scoops

Guess which upper echelon hoops program nabbed the best junior forward in the land over the weekend? Ho hum, it’s the Tar Heels. The rich continue to get richer. Kid’s name is James McAdoo. That sure sounds familiar. I wonder if he’s relatedto   . . .
No American man has made it to the quarter [...]

Saturday Sadness

Okay, let me see if I have this right?
LSU won the regular season SEC championship. They lost in the conference tourney before the title game.
Kansas won the regular season Big 12 championship. They lost in the conference tourney before the title game.
Michigan State won the regular season Big 10 championship. They lost in the conference [...]

Black (and Blue) Friday the 13th

For good luck, Kentucky wore black unis in their SEC tourney quarter final tilt against LSU.
The gimmick didn’t work.
Kentucky 58, LSU 67.
The Baron Adolph Rupp is surely turning over in his grave. “Now if those boys think wearing uniforms colored black are going to help them win, that’s just foolish. They just don’t know what [...]

Planting Seeds

So my buddy Ben — a fellow determined to consider all the Bracketological permutations — thinks the Cards should be a lock for a 1 seed, now that Kansas, Oklahoma, Pitt and UConn lost Thursday in conference quarter-finals.
Frankly, as I’ve said, I don’t care what they’re seeded. I’d rather have a Dayton to Indy to [...]

It’s That Time o’ Year

Thursday’s twitterings (to adopt the vernacular of the day):
Did appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated on consecutive weeks go to TWill’s head?
Correct answer: Absofrigginlutley!!!!
Watching him play I kept thinking of a guy I sat next to once when Louisville played IU in Assembly Hall. Every time Milt Wagner got the ball, the guy would [...]

A Spartan in Cotton Country?

I’m tellin’ ya, kids, if you want rumors about sports — especially if football is in anyway involved at all — the place to look is way down south in the Land o’ Cotton where good times are not forgotten.
There’s an article in the newpaper of Columbus, Georgia, of all places, about the next Alabama [...]

Kerthunk!

Kentucky (23 FGs & 23 TOs) 53, Florida 60.

Big Test Today

And I’m not really talkin’ about the hardwood.
I’m considering what you — my fellow hoopaholics — are going to be doing? And where?
It’s 9:00 a.m. on the regular season’s last Saturday. There’s sunshine. It’s already in the low 60s and the Fahrenheit is climbing. The boulevards and parks will be jammed today. Winter’s woolens shall [...]

Are we Nervous . . . or What?

Selection Sunday is 11 days away and there are sooooooooo many questions to be answered.
If Louisville wins out, do they nab a #1 seed? If they lose to West Virginia (or, for heavens’ sake) Seton Hall, and don’t make it to the final of the Big East tourney, do they fall below a #2? How [...]

Mr. Secretary Weighs In on Cats

Here’s what Kentucky’s duly elected Secretary of State — and future U.S. Senate hopeful — Trey Grayson had to say at his Twitter page about the end of the UK/ LSU game:
“Maybe AJ Stewart should consider quitting again if he is going to leave his man wide open for a game winning shot.”
Well, KYTrey certainly [...]
