A Wachovia Center rebellion? (Soft Pretzel Logic)

A Wachovia Center rebellion?

Here we are in the middle of the second half, and the Villanova student section is starting to take things into its own hands.

"We want Malcolm!" they are chanting, as no one seems to be able to figure out why Malcolm Grant isn't playing. I'm sure we'll get an answer after the game, but I can't say I'm used to seeing Villanova fans quite this annoyed with their team.

Finally, after Randy Ayers hits a three with 12:28 left to give Notre Dame a 57-41 lead, Wirght calls timeout and brings Grant in. Let's see what happens...

I felt like I was just watched Glen Miller's awful Penn team get pasted by St Joes all over again!

Nova - outplayed, outworked, and outclassed by a smarter and better
coached team today.

I guess Jay W has been spending too much time with Miller at the New Deck

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.
