Lines of the Day

One from each quarterfinal game...

From Dayton-Xavier, the top-seeded Musketeers spread the ball around well in their convincing win, but forward Justin Doellman had a big game on the boards as well:

From Fordham-Rhode Island, freshman guard Brandon Butler had a game-high 22 points, including an impressive 6-for-6 outing from three-point range. URI forward and all-conference first-teamer Will Daniels gets the edge, though, for getting it done at both ends of the floor:

From Saint Louis-Massachusetts, it has to be Billikens star Tommie Liddell for doing pretty much everything possible except dishing out assists:

And finally, from St. Joe's-GW, props to the all-time leading scorer in Philadelphia high school history, game-high scorer Maureece Rice:

One other thing before I call it a night. In the overtime period against Saint Louis, UMass shot 2-for-10 from the field. Both made shots were from beyond the arc. The Minutemen took five shots from that distance in all. UMass missed their first five shots in overtime and three of their last four. Yes, that adds up to all but one of the shots they took, but you get the point.

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.
