All the Thursday multimedia

Video

(Of note, Phil Martelli says that tonight's semifinal doubleheader will sell out Boardwalk Hall, and he also goes on an interesting riff on now-former New York governor Elliot Spitzer)

Audio

Dayton: Brian Gregory, Brian Roberts and Marcus Johnson
Xavier: Sean Miller, Stanley Burrell and Josh Duncan
St. Joseph's: Phil Martelli, Ahmad Nivins and Rob Ferguson
Richmond: Chris Mooney, Dan Geriot and Kevin Anderson
La Salle: John Giannini, Darnell Harris and Rodney Green
Temple: Fran Dunphy, Chris Clark and Dionte Christmas
Charlotte: Bobby Lutz, Leemire Goldwire and Lamont Mack
Massachusetts: Travis Ford and Etienne Brower

I also just got word from the Daily News that the latest edition of the PhillyFeed's Sports Spotlight podcast has a heavy college hoops flavor to it, so be sure to check that out.

With that, I'm out of here. I'll be back this evening for the semifinals: St. Joe's-Xavier at 6:30 p.m., followed by Charlotte-Temple at 9.

Yong Kim of the Daily News got that great shot of Darnell Harris' dunk.

I like this blog but really find the "name dropping" of your pals to be grating.

I think the real beauty of the blog is the updates and the game wraps. But who you ran into and all the other stuff is a bit too self-righteous.

I get enough of that when I read Peter King.

Stick to your basics. I really dont care who you sat next to on press row

That dunk you referenced earlier, and posted the picture of on this post, was not impressive. You acted as if it was a monster slam, and it was no such thing!

Jeff

That is typical of the author. He tends to over-value items of minimal significance, such as a monster slam.

Would be nice if he stuck to the basics.

And he lectures us on when and when not to storm the court.

Jonathan Tannenwald is a producer with Philly.com.

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.
