- Michigan State by 12 huh? I doubt you saw that one coming....I was on the record on them making it a ballgame, but holding Louisville to 52 points is something to behold...They exposed their drive and kick offense, and absolutely dominated on the glass....Goran Suton was everywhere, and anytime you can hold Terrance Williams to 1-7 shooting, you can beat Louisville....Impressive coaching display by Izzo as well, using their strength inside and their depth to his advantage
- UNC over Oklahoma.... First of all, the fact that Blake Griffin managed 23 and 16 (on only 9-12 shooting) was unbelievable simply b/c his guards couldn't make shots, and he was veritably triple-teamed all day long because of it.... 9-29 shooting from their 3 guards isn't going to do it though...ESPECIALLY when (as a team) they started 0-15 on 3's....Too much talent/scoring options from UNC....and Ty Lawson is playing out of his mind in spurts, and had I known he was in the physical shape to be playing 36 minutes on that toe.....sigh, I won't even say it.... An underlying result of this game to me? Hansborough managed only 8 points.... that shouldn't surprise you when you realize who was guarding him....
- So the final 4 is set....Full Preview Friday or Saturday morning.....
Now to some other stuff....
- Tiger, Tiger, Tiger Woods ya'll.... The King himself comes back from 5 down to start the day and he makes a near 20-footer for the win on 18....can't make this stuff up.....What do you say? He's the best...
- The Hawks get a good win....or so it seems? LA wasn't near full-strength with Kobe at half-steam so I'm not impressed....but it looks good on the resume ESPECIALLY when you consider Joe Johnson shot 4-18...that normally indicates a loss....
- John Calipari to Kentucky? Ehhhh I don't really see how either party would want to get mixed in...Calipari is forever shady and Kentucky's already done the whole probation thing.... and Calipari has virtually no restrictions (indicated by his inability to graduate anyone at Memphis) and no competition where he currently resides....30 wins every year as long as he keeps recruiting.....
- Who in the world though Kevin Gregg would beat out Carlos Marmol for the Cubs closer job? Not me.... but I guess when Gregg didn't allow a run all spring that might have done it...
- Seth Curry, brother of Davidson's Stephen Curry and 20+ point scorer at Liberty (as a Freshman)...will transfer to....DUKE! The story was released earlier in the week that he wanted more exposure...that will certainly provide that....he can't play until 2010-11 because of the 1-year rule for D-1 transfers....but he should step in immediately and Coach K doesn't have to worry about filling that spot as Curry is a proven commodity at the college level....of course it's all a moot point if they can't recruit any athletes up front and they keep trotting out Brian Zoubek clones....
- Jeff Capel to meet with Blake Griffin about his "future"...I'll say this...if Capel can convince him to come back? That's the most shocked I would've ever been about somebody coming back to school...and I mean ever....more than Matt Leinart, more than Tim Duncan....more than anyone...It just doesn't happen in today's college hoops
- Chris Paul was from another planet last night down the stretch....making steals, all his FTs....An extremely clutch, impressive performance....
- Memo to Phoenix....if you can't beat Sacto (and allow 126 points to them) you don't deserve consideration for the playoffs.....and now that you are 3.5 games out....Wave goodbye....and to think, Dallas got run of the court by Cleveland (to the tune of 45 points or so in the last 3 quarters since Dallas was up 17 in the 1st half) and still reside comfortably in 8th
- And finally...Mark Cuban got fined by the NBA for criticizing refs via Twitter....awesome lol
