This week's College HoopsCast (Soft Pretzel Logic)

This week's College HoopsCast

The new College HoopsCast is finally ready for your enjoyment, by clicking here or by downloading the latest episode in iTunes.

This week, Mike and I break down Villanova's loss to Pittsburgh and Drexel's loss to Virginia Commonwealth. As I mentioned yesterday, we held the show an extra day so we could include the 'Nova-Pitt result.

Then we consider whether St. Joe's can win the A-10 -- and whether Temple will even make the A-10 Tournament?

And we close out with a special feature. This past Thursday at the Big 5 Hall of Fame induction ceremony, I interviewed two of the members of the class of 2007: Jen Zenszer and Diana Caramanico. I also spoke with two close friends of the third inductee, the late John McAdams: former Big 5 Executive Secretary Dan Baker and veteran AP college basketball writer Jack Scheuer.

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.
