• North at Perry Meridian girls’ basketball

  —Quick Hits

  END OF FIRST QUARTER
  This is a contrast in styles. Perry wants to get out and run to create offense, while North is being very patient. So far, so good for the Cougars. Mo Hirt has five points, while Butler-bound Amanda Raker has just two for PM. COUGARS 9, FALCONS [...]

• Game of the day, ‘Nova and Dayton

  —The Hoosier Scoop

  Villanova is up 37-29 at halftime in a game I still think will determine the champion of this tournament. Both of these teams are guard oriented, but the speed hasn’t been overly quick so far. Dayton has 11 turnovers and Villanova has eight. Chris Wright has had a much easier [...]

• Georgia Tech-George Mason audio

  —The Hoosier Scoop

  I’ve inserted audio from post-game interviews with Mason coach Jim Larranaga, Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt and Yellow Jacket forwards Gani Lawal and Derrick Favors. I’m new to this digital recorder thing (yeah, I know, thanks for joining the 21st century in 2009) so feel free to complain if there [...]

• Tech Wins 70-62…

  —The Hoosier Scoop

  …but it really shouldn’t have been that close. There was never really a point in this game where George Mason looked like it stood a chance. Georgia Tech’s length was way too much for them, and the inside combination of Derrick Favors and Gani Lawal was as good as advertised. [...]

• Tech leads 27-19 at half

  —The Hoosier Scoop

  Number of comments: 4
  First half hasn’t been pretty at all. Both teams are playing zone, which is mostly keeping it slow. Neither teams are shooting well from beyond the 3-point arc (4-for-15 combined). Mason, actually, is shooting a horrid 7-for-30 (23.3 percent) from the field. They’re trying to work the ball inside, which [...]

• Mason, Georgia Tech battle for the right to play IU

  —The Hoosier Scoop

  Indiana gets either Georgia Tech or George Mason on Sunday, depending on who wins and who loses the games today. They’ll tip at either 10:30 a.m. or 12:30 p.m. As I type this, the game is tied at 8, and it’s evident that both of these teams could give Indiana problems. [...]

• A brief, sort-of preview

  —The Hoosier Scoop

  Number of comments: 8
  A one-day turnaround doesn’t allow for much of a preview, so here’s some background info on the Terriers. They’re admittedly the underdog in this tournament, a mid-to-low major team from the America East Conference, which is sort of out of its class compared to even George Mason of the CAA. [...]

  Ha, no, I didn’t go to New Moon last night at 12:01. I was doing what I’m always doing lately at 12:01AM: waiting for my Ambien to kick in and going, “Why don’t they have Say Yes To The Dress on On Demand?”
