Quick shots, Court-Storming in Arizona, Beal and Googs, “King Rex” in the Valley…

 The annual “Underwear Olympics” will occur in Indianapolis later this week. Another NFL Combine and another high pick for your Cardinals. They’ve had a pick in the top ten in four of the last five years. I believe they are heading in the right direction(can’t go much further south), but the fan base needs to see some flash when the League calendar flips in mid-March. Hope is a good thing…

I’m finding that when Caitlin Clark plays, I’m watching. Same with my friends who love hoops. Must-see TV…

There are 24 games left in the Sun’s regular season, so it’s time to start paying closer attention to how the team is coming together. I’ll be at Sunday’s match-up with Lebron and the Lakers, though I may not see a complete version on the Suns if Beal and Nurkich can’t go. Bradley Beal is a present-day Tom Gugliotta regarding lousy luck and injuries. Those who have followed the Suns over the years know what I’m talking about with Googs…

Rex Chapman with me on Monday’s show at 10:15 am. King Rex has gone through hell and is back in his life. His new book will be released on Tuesday. That night, he’ll have a 7 pm signing at Changing Hands bookstore in Tempe.

Court storming is nothing new; our state had one of the worst incidents in 2004. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/9019013/joe-kay-sobering-rushing-court-story   

I was in a court storm at Grand Canyon University in December when the ‘Lopes took down the 2023 runner-up for the national title, San Diego State. It was tame, and it was fun. What happened on Saturday at Wake Forest was not…

Surely, even the biggest Arizona Wildcat fan can’t believe their team will raise a national title banner in Glendale in April. Watching them play, they will win 25 games, have a high seed, and then “poof”…

Just when the dirt was being thrown on the Arizona State basketball grave, they got a quad-one win over Washington State, with Arizona coming to the Valley on Wednesday. The victory over Wazzu was their first win over a top twenty-five team this season. “Consistently Inconsistent” should be the title of the highlight film for this squad. Remember ASU got thrashed by 45 in Tucson just a week ago…

I dropped in on the Koa Peat show Friday night. He’s just a junior! If you say you’re a hoop fan, see him in the state semi-finals against Basha this Wednesday. He will be playing the ball well after high school and college. Saying that he’s a man among boys doesn’t do him justice…
