Bob Huggins needs to be careful with his Cutty Sark consumption, keep his Michelob to a minimum, maintain his Lowenbrau at low levels - basically, he better watch what he drinks.

The AP serves up some sobering details on the new contract the West Virginia basketball coach signed last Friday. The new deal will keep Huggins in Morgantown for at least the next 10 years - provided he doesn’t hit the hooch or heroin too hard: Read more…

• Too bad they’re not division foes anymore: YOU BEEN BLINDED sips on some Hater-ade, as David Wright tells Dontrelle Willis he owns him.

If there is one team in college basketball that most fans probably want to see suffer an early defeat, it’s Duke. There’s never anything wrong with watching the Blue Devils go down, even when it means a stand-up guy like Bob Huggins advances.

The first team to officially advance into the Sweet 16 is the West Virginia Mountaineers by way of their 73-67 victory over Coach K and his Dukies. Read more…

As stated earlier this week, we only do one bracket per NCAA tournament. This year, we had Drake in the Final Four. Lovely.

So with Drake (and our Durham’s Dogs) out, we really don’t care much about who makes the Final Four. Or who wins (officially, we have Stanford). Now instead, we’ve made the decision to adopt a team. Actually, really a person, as our rooting interest for the rest of the tournament. Read more…

Pity the poor MANHATTAN (KS) MERCURY (via FAN IQ), which takes Michael Beasley’s bait on his (brief) fake NBA timetable:

It’s that time of the year when teams are playing their final home games of the year. Whether the preps or collegiately, the occasion goes by the name of Senior Night. But might it also be the thanks-for-the-memories games for another pair of Wildcats? Read more…

We close out the first month of 2008 with two great gifts from Bristol, CT:

• The greatest Chris Berman video you’ll ever see:

• And if the vision of a sweat-stained Boomer ruins your day, pick yourself back up by scanning over this new shot of sideline siren Erin Andrews:

• The study also serves as a Spearmint Rhino: Super Bowl house rentals now come with a stripper option.

• Bill Walker must be relieved that K-State finally beat Kansas at home.

• Florida Marlins cheerleader tryouts - need we say more?

West Virginia basketball had one of its worst showings in school history last night. And no, we’re not talking about Bob Huggins’ sideline ensemble:

Cincinnati hugged it up on defense against WVU, limiting the Mounties to just 20 percent shooting in the Bearcats’ 62-39 win. The game marked Huggins’ first game coaching against Cincinnati since he was forced out as UC coach in 2005.

The NBA rule preventing (most) high school seniors from entering the league’s draft has taken a little pressure off coaches to carry the college game. The talent level has been so crap the past decade-plus that we had to lean on greasy snake oil salesmen coaches like Huggins, John Calipari and Bruce Pearl to keep us entertained (think WWE) until we enter March.
