NCAA College Basketball News

March Madness all comes down to one game for the Big East regular season championship. On March 8, Louisville plays the Georgetown Hoyas. Even though the Hoyas are 8-2 in their last 10, it’s the Cardinals that really seem to be making their way into March Madness. Louisville hasn’t lost since a 69-67 game at Connecticut, thanks to their team-first attitude and a strong coach, Rick Pitino.

The Cardinals will have to beat Georgetown at the Verizon Center in D.C. which no other team has done this year. With some problems at the beginning of the season, including injuries and losses, many people were pessimistic about the Cardinals. However, they are 16-11-1 against the spread overall and 8-1-1 ATS this year.

Most of their success is because of Padgett’s inspired play. Padgett broke his knee earlier in the season and despite this injury, he returned after missing only 6 weeks. A lesser player would have missed a lot more than that with a broken knee cap. The Cardinals know that it’s Padgett’s leadership that made the difference in turning things around this season.

Padgett is averaging 11.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2 assists on 22.7 minutes per game. He has also adopted Pitino’s team approach which has helped the Cardinals position themselves to win the Big East Championship. They were in last place in the conference at the beginning of the year and now they’re tied for first which isn’t usually how a team makes it to the championship.

The Hoyas’ Roy Hibbert might be giving the Cardinals a run for their money. Between his size and the guidance from coach John Thompson’s, he has redefined the Hoyas’ defensive status. Hibbert averages 2.3 blocks per game. His team is the best in the nation in defensive field goal percentage and 4th in points allowed. Hibbert takes pride in defense and helping his teammates out by coming from the weak side and blocking shots. Hibbert has also improved his all around play and leads the Hoyas in both points and rebounds. Read the rest of this entry »

The Importance Of Sports Equipment

Sports are a very popular interest worldwide as there are many varieties people can choose from to indulge themselves in. Some people are interested in football while others like basketball. Some love the water and prefer swimming, while others like to speed inside a racing car. It doesn’t matter what type of sport you like to play as long as you realize the importance of the equipment and apparel required to play these sports. For playing football you need a football and two goal posts. Individually you may need a good pair of shoes and something to keep sweat off your eyes as it drips from your forehead. It is not so easy to indulge in any sports activity if you don’t have the appropriate sports equipment. The better your sports equipment is, the better will be your game.

The first step to have a good sporting experience is to buy a equipment that is of good quality in terms of its strength and is light in weight. For instance, if the racket with which you play badminton is not of appropriate weight your hand may not respond in the ideal fashion while playing the game. You might have to risk losing your game. But if you hold the racket before making a purchase and gauge as to what weight and length suits your hand the most, you will be able to take a good decision. Your decision at this point in time will go a long way to support your actual game.

In a game such as football, the goal keeper, for instance, would need equipment such as a helmet, shoulder pads and knee pads. You also need to think of the quality here too! For his own sake the goal keeper needs to get a hair cut before the game. The helmet should be fitting the goal keeper properly. The helmet should be refitted if the hair style of the goal keeper has changed. The front portion of the helmet should just protect the head and not become a hindrance by covering the forehead including the eyebrows. The ear holes also should match up with player’s ears. Move the helmet while the goal keeper is wearing it so that any displacement of the helmet can be rectified before the game starts. Read the rest of this entry »
