ABOUT THIS BLOG

News, analysis, feature stories, random thoughts... if it's about college basketball, either in season or during the summer doldrums, you'll find it in Beyond the Arc.

Mike Miller

Mike Miller has been NBCSports.com's college basketball editor since 2003. It's a position he relishes; no wonder considering he transferred to Kansas to watch Paul Pierce play. Most of his favorite sports memories involve college hoops, usually during March, when every waking moment is spent thinking about March Madness.



Finally, video of Obama vs. UConn women

Sometimes, you can never find video when you want it.

When the Connecticut women's basketball team visited the White House and President Obama Monday, it was the typical news story -- President honors NCAA champs, etc, etc -- but with a nice spin.

He played the Huskies in a game of P.I.G.

The president is an unabshed hoops fan -- his NCAA tourney bracket was the source of numerous news stories and daily updates -- and this was a brilliant way to liven up what's usually a formal affair.

Except I couldn't find any video. Not on NBC's affiliate Web sites, not on YouTube, the White House, nada.

Well, just needed to wait a day, and look again. It's not bad video, either. Not sure what P.I.G. rules applied, but it's a lot of laughing, shot-making and a little good-natured trash talking from both sides. Enjoy.
