Rise and Fire

Rise and Fire, named in honor of Gus Johnson, will provide constant college basketball analysis. It will be updated regularly with views on the wide-ranging landscape of college hoops. There will be other contributors, but the majority of the analysis will come from highly renowned Mr. T. The focus is one thing and one thing alone – being prepared for NCAA Tournament pools. Teams will be evaluated on future potential and looming inefficiencies. There will also be a sprinkle of betting tips for those addicts that can’t wait until March.

Mr.T

Anointed a child prodigy after winning an NCAA pool at the age of 9, Mr. T has continued to follow college basketball throughout the years. Publishing Sunday email columns for friends last year allowed him to fulfill his writing urge. The most important part of any college basketball fan’s season is March Madness and that’s exactly what Mr. T gears his analysis around. After winning his own pool three times in the last five years against an average of 100 opponents, it’s pretty evident that he knows his hoops.

The Doctor

Although at times he feels he performs better than half of the players on the court, The Doctoris a true fan of the college game. He’s played the game his whole life and understands the smallest nuances that occur on the court. A lifelong Syracuse fan, The Doctor heavily follows the Big East, although he doesn’t discriminate against the rest of America.
