College hoops blogs bring it

Maybe I’m biased, but the best sports blogs out there are usually about college hoops.
Two of my favorites – and two of the best, period – are Rush the Court and Yahoo! Sports’ The Dagger. Both blogs excel at finding aspects of news stories others might overlook and turning them into insightful, excellent reading.
Take Tuesday, for example.
Rush the Court had five postings, including a great section on the ACC “preparing to propose NCAA legislation that will allow players considering the NBA draft only ten days from the date of the NCAA Championship game to decide on whether they’re staying in school.”
The gist: ACC coaches think athletes have too much time to decide if they’re going to stay in school, and it messes with recruiting. Coaches hate it, so let’s get rid of it! Good stuff.
The Dagger tends to focus on the lighter side of college hoops. Like Indiana hiring an athletic director with no previous experience in athletic departments (who needs experience?) or Gary Williams miffed at the media for burying Maryland before the season begins (the Terps are not irrelevant!).
Gotta love it.
