The Malcolm Grant question (Soft Pretzel Logic)

The Malcolm Grant question

I see the comments about Malcolm Grant and I would just like to say this in brief. I am not as well-connected to the Villanova program as the beat writers are, so I don't hear much about the Wildcats off the record, but I do think questions about Grant are fair to ask.

I can tell you that Jay has been asked by reporters about why Grant doesn't play and the answer thus far has been preferring Reggie Redding for his defense.

That is not to pass judgement, just telling you what has been said on the record.

And while I don't want to have to take the question up every week, I will try to give it another hearing when I record this week's College HoopsCast later today.

By the way, if you think last night's finish was rough, consider what happened to the Rutgers women just a few minutes later at Tennessee.

Not well-connected to the program, yet somehow close enough to call the Coach "Jay".

Sounds like a "jock-sniffer" move

Hmm....

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.
