- My suspicions on UConn were confirmed in a big spot....Michigan State out-toughed them and UConn just couldn't put the ball in the basket in big spots and the closest thing they have to a go-to-guy in 23 year old AJ Price? 5-20 shooting and only 1 assist from the PG spot... I was very impressed with Izzo's gameplan defensively, and they were able to hang evenly (41-40) on the boards with a team that was much, much bigger....Hasheem Thabeet must have had the quietest 17 points I've ever seen, he was an offensive non-factor throughout, I just don't see how anybody thinks he'll be even average on the next level offensively.... UConn basically played 6 guys and I think that hurt them down the stretch....Kalin Lucas was great again....no real surprise there from a top 5-6 PG nationally...and they get?
- UNC....who trounced Villanova (with some help from bad shot selection/connection by Nova in the 2nd half)....If Wayne Ellington shoots like that, they won't lose....Corey Fisher of Villanova came off the bench and played 25 minutes.....and took 19 shots....19! Doesn't help when he went 5-19 either....Weird line from Danny Green too....4-11 FG....4-10 threes....jeez Danny I thought Wayne Ellington was the spot shooter....and I'll never understand how Bobby Frasor gets 7 rebounds (5 offensive!) in 19 minutes....but in the end, too much UNC offense and if they play their B game they shouldn't lose to Sparty either...
Other things....
- Maya Moore wins Women's player of the year nationally....I saw this girl play as a freshman in high school and predicted as such....she's the most impressive high school athlete I've ever seen other than maybe Jeff Francoeur on the baseball field....and she hasn't lost a step in her progression...big ups....
- Dwight Howard's 21-23-5-4-3 game beats the Hawks....What do you say? He's the beast of the league at this point....
- Gary Sheffield signs with....the Mets? Yikes...Well, that's probably not good for the Braves simply b/c he turns into a cheap flier and if he hits, it can only help them....
- Andre Miller had 21 points, 12 dimes, and 10 boards last night....bet you didn't even hear about it...
- In the last 2 months, Mike Conley is averaging 16 and 7....welcome back to my crushdom Mike...We missed you....
Alright, that'll do it for today.....Opening day tonight! Let's go Derek Lowe...earn that paper...
