Rise & Fall: Low-Major Conference Review
August 4th, 2008
by Shawn Siegel
In recent weeks, the Rise & Fall series has chronicled the progress (or regress) of college basketball's major conference teams. But if I equated each team to a civilization, I was mistaken. It is really the NCAA conference that equates to a burgeoning civilization or nation, each with its sometimes stable and sometimes rotating member states. Like civilizations, the prestige and power of conferences wax and wane..

Sorrentine will be reunited with Agel, who guided him as an associate head coach at Vermont and recruited Sorrentine to the Catamounts' basketball program.

NYC Metro Review Part 3: Teams 12-17
April 14th, 2008
by Raphielle Johnson
Teams ranked in the 12-17 area of the final rankings are clearly in a position to either move up or down next season. The team with the best chance to make a significant move up the standings in their league would have to be Manhattan (12-19), who return all key contributors next season. Guard Antoine Pearson was a Third Team All-MAAC selection this season, and swingman Devon Austin went a long way in establishing himself as this team’s leader in the MAAC Tournament.
Metro Review Part 4: All-Rookie & Bottom Teams
April 14th, 2008
by Raphielle Johnson
Now we come to the bottom of the poll, where there wasn’t much in the way of positives to be found this season. NJIT (0-29) completed a historically bad season, the worst winless campaign in the history of Division I basketball. With head coach Jim Casciano stepping down at season’s end the Highlanders are also in need of a head coach. Whoever steps into that opening will have a lot of work to do in terms of talent along with the confidence level of the returning players.

Buzzer Beater: The Weekend Review
March 3rd, 2008
by Jason Brubaker
- The NIT would like to
officially welcome
Syracuse to the mix, after a bizarre late-game collapse against Pitt on
Saturday. The Orange may have been done in by a no-call when Paul Harris was
stripped of the ball underneath the basket, but bad calls don't explain blowing
an 11-point lead in the final three minutes. Barring a surprise run through the
Big East Tournament, the Orange, now7-9 in the conference, are likely on the
wrong side of the bubble for the second straight year.

Seven Day Stretch: Sutton Brothers Going Different Directions
February 15th, 2008
by Rob Carpentier
Three weeks ago I pegged Providence
College as the Seven Day Savior (team), and they have collapsed since then. Two
weeks ago, I put Seton Hall in the same category and they too, have fallen off
the radar since my selection. Even my choices of SDS individual awards have been
hit. Two weeks ago, it was Central Florida. Last week it was UNC-Asheville. Both
teams went from undefeated when I wrote about them to losing…in UCF’s case, more
than once. Last week I selected Drake and probably put a scare into those

I’d be a fool not to mention the New
York Giants’ 17-14 victory in Super Bowl XLII. Congratulations to the
organization and all you Giants who helped this team achieve their 3-5 home
record. Just kidding, enjoy the moment and the fact that just when everyone said
this team couldn’t win, they went ahead and did it. Now, let’s move on to the
week that was in the metropolitan area on the hardwood.
