BEVERLY HILLS (MI) — For those of you keeping score at home, it has been 36 days since “From the Swamp” last graced the front page of this here website. Needless to say, there hasn’t been a heckuva lot to write about hoops-wise recently, what with the NBA Draft delayed until next month and UD’s hoop schedule in mass disarray. At times such as these, “FTS” turns to our “Other Bookmarks” file, the depository of interesting articles, videos, tweets and graphics that usually provide B-roll material for a basketball-centric entry. Since there ain’t no college hoops to speak of, let’s go!
