Special Valentine’s Day Edition of Forde’s Minutes

If you are a loyal reader of the Final Four Blog, you probably already know that we are big fans of “The Minutes” by Pat Forde at ESPN. Every week he’s got 40 things to remark about in the world of college basketball, plus some slight pop culture references, and always a plea for Ashley Judd. This week, of course, was a Valentine’s special that included some thoughts on the power couples of college basketball over the years. There’s also some comments on bad basketball breakups and some dysfunctional relationships as well. You have to check it out if you get some free time before the five o’clock bell rings today.

Pat Forde has us at the Final Four Blog thinking: What are the great college hoops relationships right now? Are there any nice couples out there? It seems more likely that you’d find great couples back a few years when players weren’t one-and-done all the time. There’s never any chance for a Bobby Hurley-Christian Laettner relationship to blossom.
