Late edition

A few notable things that have come across since I finished Newsstand:

St. Joe's will play in the 2008 Maui Invitational. Start saving now.

A preview of tonight's Penn-Temple game from the great Ivy League (and Patriot League) site Basketball U., which wonders "if the Dunphy Exiles will be sporting cherry and white tonight and sitting behind the visiting bench to show their displeasure with their alma mater for forcing Dunphy to take a higher-profile job for double his old salary." Unfortunately, you have to pay to read the site's stories, but there's some good stuff in in there.

Penn fans will also have to go to the wallet for a new feature on the athletic department's website: streaming video of games. Live home men's and women's hoops and wrestling, and apparently some archived footage too. $10 for the rest of the season.

Over the Mason-Dixon line, George Washington coach Carl Hobbs says he doesn't get the RPI. His Colonials face St. Joe's tonight. And Maryland athletic director Debbie Yow got a contract extension through 2013.

I fell in love with the Big 5 at first sight upon moving to Philadelphia in 2002. At various points in my journalistic career, I've covered all six of the region's Division I teams. During that time, I've eaten many soft pretzels from the Palestra's concession stands, which is how this blog got its name.

In addition to the blog, I host and produce the Inquirer's College HoopsCast. It's a weekly podcast that features all the latest news and analysis from around local and national college basketball. Regular guests include Inquirer writers Mike Jensen, Joe Juliano and Mel Greenberg.

I also occasionally contribute to the Inquirer's women's basketball weblog, Women's Hoops Guru. If you've come here from there, this blog deals mostly with the men's side of things, though I do write about women's basketball and other sports when they fit in.

When not focusing on college hoops, I host and produce the Inquirer's PhilliesCast with Phillies beat writer Todd Zolecki, and can occasionally be found behind the camera shooting videos of the Eagles, other professional sports teams and the tiger cubs at the zoo.

One of the great things about City Series basketball, and college basketball as a whole, is its sense of community. So I want to hear from you. Post a comment or send me an email by clicking on my name above. But don't be profane, and don't post hate speech. I'm sure you'd like to take a shot at that commenter on the opposite side of a rivalry from you, or say something nasty about a team you don't like. But this blog isn't the place for it. Thanks.
