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.This page contains a single entry from the blog posted on March 16, 2008 6:24 PM.

Don't be scared. The Owls are the underdogs and aren't expected to win. But, the Owls aren't your average generic no name team. Tyndale-Christmas are explosive. It's hard to find a better 1-2 punch in the game today. The 2 big guys have been getting better and better each game and are definitely a presence inside. The bench overall, has been very solid and Chris Clark has been unbelievable as late. Reminds me of Quincy Wadley with all the clutch shots he has made. Most importantly though, the team has tremendous chemistry and they bring the Philly toughness. If anyone, Mich St. should be worried.
