Good news, bad news on hoops front

What Sixers game would be complete without watching Andre Iguodala clang the final shot of the game – and a potential game winner – off the rim.

Happened again last night as the Sixers fell on the road to the Milwaukee Bucks, 91-88.

Of course, we shouldn’t be too hard on Iguodala. Elton Brand missed on a layup – what he referred to as a “choppie” – in the final seconds. Why he didn’t just slam dunk the ball might be interesting to know.

Take heart, hoops fans.

So the Sixers are in the tank.

They’re not even the best team in town.

That honor just might go to the Villanova Wildcats, who beat Notre Dame in a Big East game last night in a jam-packed Wachovia Center.

The Wildcats are now 19-1, the first time in history they’ve held that lofty record.

They are currently ranked No. 3 in the nation, and likely will move up to No. 2 next week since No. 1 Kentucky was toppled earlier this week.

The’Cats look like they are prepping for a long NCAA run.

Good thing. Because the Sixers are going nowhere.
