We almost never knew you

Alonso Tacanga March 25, 2009

Rodrigue Mels always had it in him. His r'eacute;sum'eacute; authenticated it: Went to school with an NBA Finals MVP? Check. Played pickup basketball with him and his all-time defensive ace buddy? Check. Won nationwide MVP honors? Check.

The irony: Pacific is still playing while CSUN’s done

Alonso Tacanga March 24, 2009

I find it quite funny that the Pacific Tigers, team the Matadors beat enroute to the NCAA Tournament, are still playing. Their season hasn't ended and they've actually just made the Collegeinsider.com...

Maybe there isn't much respect for the Matadors coming from the Memphis side. Maybe there isn't even disrespect. As far as Tigers star point guard Tyreke Evans is concerned, there is nothing.

Mels like an MVP

Alonso Tacanga March 18, 2009

It was CSUN guard Rodrigue Mels' turn at the practice-ending half-court shooting drill Wednesday morning at the Sprint Center. With an approximate 100 March Madness fanatics having made their way to the Kansas City arena to watch him shoot a 40-footer, Mels measured the distance carefully and let a prayer fly.
