Podcast: College Basketball and Lehman HS Coaching Hire

While March Madness is nearly here, teams in college basketball are starting to prepare for conference tournament season and the prospect for an automatic tourney bid.

This week, I talk about the four “contenders” I mentioned in last week’s podcast. Just how far do those teams have to go to punch their ticket to the NCAA tournament?

Also, Lehman High School announced their new Athletic Coordinator for the 2012-2013 football season. I’ll discuss what the acquisition of Todd Raymond’s coaching ability will mean for the Lobo program.

Contenders/Pretenders for NCAA Tournament bid in Texas

Can you believe that Selection Sunday is less than a month away?

Yes indeed, the season is almost over and teams are beginning to make their case for a tourney bid.

In the State of Texas, a few teams have a better than average shot of obtaining a spot in the tourney. Some squads need to work hard to reach the promised land; Others need to start dreaming of the NIT’s instead.

In this podcast, I’ll talk about which college teams in Texas are contenders and pretenders going into the final month of the regular season.

Podcast: High School Basketball and Realignment

Apologies for the lack of posts/podcasts over the last few weeks. It got very busy and stressful for my family and I; Thankfully, everything has calmed down and I can go back to blogging!

One team utilized a stellar defensive effort to win. The other decided that an offensive explosion was more necessary.

In any case, both Texas and Baylor fought hard and got well earned bowl victories this week; The final week of the 2011 calendar year.

With the wins, the State of Texas is now 3 for 3 in bowl games, with Texas A&M, Houston and SMU playing their games within the next seven days.

So, as 2011 comes to a close, here is the final podcast of the year; In it, I’ll talk about Texas and Baylor’s bowl wins.
