Story By Mitchell Smith Hello everyone, today I’m taking a look at the 2003 championship run by Syracuse University. Championships are not easy to get and many schools across the country have few or no championships at all. I didn’t grow up an SU fan. I grew up in northern New York near the Canadian border. We didn’t have any local college or professional teams anywhere near us. I got into college ball when the fab five was the big thing so Michigan was the first team I followed. It…

Hello everyone, today I’m sticking with my Basketball theme this month, and taking a look at Charles Barkley. Born February 20, 1963 in Leeds Alabama. Chuck has been in the spotlight with commercials and co-hosting NCAA basketball show. Chuck didn’t always have it good though. He was the first of a few African American kids in his elementary school, right when segregation was coming to an end in his home town. Chucks father abandoned the family at a young age and his step father died when he was 11. Chuck…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Who’s Still Dancing’ by Mitchell Smith!

The first few days of the big dance have been wild. In an extension of last weeks story, ‘Should the field be Extended?’, it is apparent that  it should be. Especially after a couple 13 seeds beat 4 seeds and the unthinkable, the number 1 seed, not only lost to the 16 seed, but got manhandled. Nevertheless the amount of talent that the US is churning out is amazing.  With all the upsets it also seems that individual talent doesn’t mean a lot these days, if you don’t show up…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Should the NCAA Tourney Be Expanded’ by Mitchell Smith!

Has the NCAA outgrown the field of 68? March Madness is upon us. This is one of my favorite time of years. Brackets, heartaches and headaches. Championship week will be finishing up and for many teams the tournament of do or die has begun. Teams that have poured their hearts into a season only to come up one win short of an NCAA tourney bid. The blood and sweat of a season shattered by one final loss. Today’s college athletes seem to be plentiful. The smaller schools draw better players…

The POP-EXPOSE ‘One Shining Moment 2017′ by Mitchell Smith’!

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

The NCAA Basketball Tournament has had many memorable moments including blowouts, upsets, last second shots, and raw emotions. The Final four is always a major milestone for any team to reach and if one team can put together that one monumental championship game it may go down in history. The Oregon Ducks won the first NCAA championship game beating Ohio State 46 to 33. This must have been a real barn burner, remember there was no 3 pointers or shot clocks back then, so there must have been a lot…

The POP-EXPOSE ‘College basketball fans’ At this point in the Men’s NCAA Division 1 College basketball tournament many brackets are busted, many hearts are broken, but 2 teams out of nearly 350 college teams remain for a shot at the top crown at the college level. The CBS crew of Barkley, Smith, Kellogg, and Gumbel spoke of how special the tournament is and at so many different levels, for some teams making the tourney is their crown, for others its making the Sweet 16 or Elite 8. The tourney is…
