With this week's Class AAA boys basketball state tournament set to mark the end of White Station senior guard Joe Jackson's already legendary high school career, some of us here at The Commercial Appeal got to wondering how this Class of 2010 stacks up against some of Memphis' best ever. (Be sure to check out Tuesday's story in Sports about Memphis' best-ever boys hoops classes.) Along with Jackson (who's signed with the University of Memphis), this year's class features three more seniors ranked among the nation's top 105 prospects by Rivals.com in Ridgeway forward Tarik Black (signed with Memphis), Sheffield guard Chris Crawford (Memphis) and Mitchell transfer Mardracus Wade (Arkansas), who's now at Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Va.
The Tecumseh girls basketball team is in an unfamiliar position. The Braves have won only one sectional championship and own just three winning seasons in their history. But this winter, the Braves are 14-4, ranked ninth in Class A, and haven't lost to another Class A team all season.
An anonymous UCLA alum believed to be the ex-wife of a former Bruin All-American point guard, in possession of the original Pauley Pavilion center court circle installed in 1965, has decided again to put this unique piece of memorabilia up for auction next month. Despite the wishes of UCLA, which wants it back to showcase in its soon-to-be renovated arena.
We reflect on the words of Jim Boeheim back in 2008, following a game at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse. Boeheim was effusive in his praise of Jim Calhoun, saying that what he's done at UConn may be the single greatest job by any coach in the history of college basketball. Of course, Boeheim, an original coach in the Big East, recalls what UConn was during a more provincial era, and we have to believe he figured that the little school in Storrs would never be much of an obstacle to Syracuse and the other powers of the Big East. We bring that story up because it is part and parcel of what the UConn men accomplished this year.
lifetime devotion to basketball might have gotten Bob Sakel's foot in the door to the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, but it was his accomplishments that sealed the deal. The 81-year-old Sakel, a former star at Jasper High and Evansville College, is one of 15 men voted into the Hall's Class of 2009. How long has Sakel been involved in basketball? Just consider:
NEW YORK - You won't find a place in the world more, well, dumbfounded over the imminent breakup of perhaps the best college basketball conference in history than at a gathering of those schools' coaches. Most aren't sure what to think, so it runs the gamut.
By Joe Morelli Schools Sports Editor Salvatore "Red" Verderame, one of the most respected boys' basketball coaches in New England history, died Saturday at the age of 81 at Connecticut Hospice in Branford.
Duke -- In the recent history of college basketball, there may have been teams with better backcourt savvy than this. Maybe not. What made the Blue Devils national champs wasn't just the backcourt, where Nolan Smith blossomed into a star, but also on the wing with sweet-shooting Kyle Singler. Mike Krzyzewski will increase the tempo with newcomers Kyrie Irving and Seth Curry. The Devils could stack titles back to back. Michigan State -- It will be business as usual for the Spartans, who have stockpiled talent at every position. The only question is the health of point guard Kalin Lucas, who tore his Achilles tendon during last year's NCAAs. Durrell Summers is the most athletic player in the Big Ten while freshman Keith Appling is special. When Tom Izzo turned down the Cle...
