How did we go this long without one? Especially with OU and UConn (that was for Murph) dominating in both men's and women's basketball.
Blake Griffin has a dunk highlight reel from just one game against Colorado. Pretty short video that missed a few of his dunks but they got the big ones. You rarely see an alley oop from almost 3/4 away from the basket.

OU did struggle in the game against a weak Colorado but we will take the "W."
We have NC @ Duke this Wed to look forward too. I am sure they will have 4,000 different camera angles you can watch the game from and ESPN will once again milk this game for all it is worth.

Let me preface that with the fact that the UConn women's team might be having one of the most dominant seasons in NCAA history.
It is one thing to blow out teams but to beat two top 5 teams by 30 points is impressive to say the least.

That is just scary. 23 wins and only one game with a a victory of less than double digits.

Elite 8, elite8, final 2 are the results of the three years in the new C-USA. I believe the Tigers are just fine how they play.bdoughty wrote:Plays in the Conference USA and has no competition. No Free Throws required in blowouts. Once the tourney hits you will have more close games, bigger need to make FT's. Another choke to ensue, this year in an early round game.fsquid wrote: Memphis 21-3 15th in the nation and rising.

Hard to feel good if you're a Hoosier fan like me, even though Tom Crean is doing what he can with the little talent he has.bdoughty wrote:How did we go this long without one?
Big Ten once again looks really mediocre. Wouldn't surprise me if the conference doesn't make it past the second round in the tourney.
The Illini are suprisingly having a pretty solid season at 19-5. Going into the season, the expectations were very low with the team's top player Jamar Smith being cut for being an idiot. But the sophomores McCamey, Tisdale and Davis have really played well and they been getting solid senior leadership from Chester Frazier. Coach Weber has really turned around his recruiting success after losing most of the in state talent the last few years. Things are really looking up for the Illini in the next few years with the recruits they have coming in. Right now they are probably a 5 or 6 seed in the tourney, and maybe even a 4.

Big showdown tonight in Columbia. The border war featuring IMO two surprising teams. Mizzou vs. KU. KU lost all five starters from year ago, but they are undefeated in conference. At 19-4, they have jumped back in to the rankings. Mizzou, which has only lost two games in the conference has destroyed some bad teams in the Big 12 and beaten some very good teams (Texas, Baylor). They also barely lost to Xavier. Both teams will be ranked for tonight's game, the first time since 2003 both are ranked at the same time.
This is THE biggest midwest rival game IMO, one that spews much hatred. Should be fun to watch!

Here is an interesting article

CMU, women's coach sued by ex-player
Claims heterosexuality was a factor
Heike said Guevara told her she wore too much makeup and was not the coach's "type." That meant she wasn't a lesbian, according to a lawsuit filed last week in federal court in Bay City.

That's exactly what happened. Blair had a double double before the first half was even over. Thabeet was barely a factor.bdoughty wrote:Murph,
What happened last night? Kicking myself for missing a great game. From the videos it looked like DeJuan Blair just bullied Thabeet.
For a good chuckle, watch the Calhoun post-game presser. He looked like a time bomb ready to explode at any second.

Boy now if any record is asterisk worthy, this is one of them. UK did it against some competition. I watched the Memphis/UTEP game and once again those free throws almost cost them.fsquid wrote:Tigers have won 54 conference games in a row. Only 11 short of the UK record from the 50s.
OU played a good game in a loss last night. They almost made a comeback with their star out most of the game and all of the second half. Abrahms was just on fire at the end of the game.

Oh yes, the 1950s when maybe 20 schools in all of the nation took the sport of basketball seriously (ie money).bdoughty wrote:Boy now if any record is asterisk worthy, this is one of them.
