A GREAT Loss and other tidbits
- The Sixers came through in the clutch last night and got blown out by the Memphis Grizzlies to establish themselves as the worst team in the league. They are now just percentage points behind the Grizzlies now. With the Grizz playing better of late, the Sixers looked to have a great chance at the number one pick.
- The Villanova Wildcats beat their first top-25 opponent this year by defeating Notre Dame last night. The Wildcats have struggled in the Big East so far but this win could go a long way as they build their tournament resume. Freshman star, Scott Reynolds, scored 27 points.
- Staying on Villanova they host the Texas Longhorns this Saturday at the Wachovia Center. This could be a good chance to see a future Sixer playing.
- The Temple Owls broke their 5-game losing streak last night. Fran Dunphy is having a rough first year in North Philly.
- I wrote an entire post praising Drexel and they haven't been the same since. They have struggled in the CAA and will probably have to win their conferance tournament to make the Big Dance.
- The Flyers' lone bright spot, Simon Gagne, was selected to play in the NHL All-Star game in Dallas. Congrats to Simon but other than that there is not much to look forward too. Paul Holmgren is already out scouting the top prospects in North America.
- Coming Up: A Phillies Report. I haven't commented on them lately an with Spring Training merely 27 days away it is time to look at their recent additions and start a player-by-player breakdown.
