When I was in C-ville for the UVA-'Bama game, and saw them blow 15
points of their 18 point lead in the last five minutes, I never imagined
that the 'Hoos could pull off an even LARGER near-choke.

How about blowing a 23 point lead in the second half before pulling it
out in OT ? ? ? ?

BTW, I thought I saw Junior Burrough get an actual assist against UNC. 
Is he up to double figures for the season yet? ;-)

While I believe you guys about the Billikens, I live near Chicago and every
year they have a Bud Billiken parade.  Who is Bud Billiken?  Is it just 
coincidence that some guy has the same name an elf?  That's where I thought
the Billikens got their name.  I'm just confused, so excuse me please.

As far as I know, Long Beach State is an unranked team.  How could a #1 
team in the nation be beaten by an unranked team by 15 points and held
under 50 points?  Is it a shame or what?  

Are they trying to prove they are not #1 or make those people who voted 
them to be fools?  Anyway,  you don't have to wait till to see them beaten.  Too bad, it was shown on national T.V..

We were without Ricky Calloway for that game. Other than that year, our
games with Vandy were not typically close. Indiana is 18-1 against other
SEC schools the only loss being against Vandy, er, that does not include
Kentucky and most of those victories have come in the NCAA tournament.

I don't know why we don't play Vandy anymore? I think the primary reason
was that we picked up Kansas on a four year deal.

Ooops!  Brain fart.  I was thinking (or not thinking) along a totally

referring to the offensive and defensive sets of Dean Smith and were saying
that all these other schools had emulated their programs after him.  I didn't

KU is still a great team.  They are still the same team that beat IU.  All
that has happened here is that they have shown the ability to have a major
mental let down against competition they should have whipped.  This is
nothing new for them.  Of all the KU teams in recent history that should have
done well, the only one that won it was the one that was the underdog almost
all along the way.  Don't write them off yet.  Definitely still in the top
5.

Although they played like crap, the Panthers still did enough to get by
Missouri-Kansas City 73-57 last night at the MECCA. UWM shot 32 percent
on the night as senior tri-captains Marc Mitchell, Craig Greene and Ray
Perine (averaging about 45 points and shooting 51 percent combined) sank
8 of 33 shots. Yuck.

Reserves Mark Briggs and Corey Statham helped carry the Panthers. Briggs 
had 15 points and five boards in 16 minutes of play, making 4 of 5 from the
field and all seven of his FT attempts. Statham scored 10 points and sparked
UWM with a couple steals and great moves around the hoop. Pat Easterlin had
17 points for UWM, 15 points coming from 3-land.

Overall it was a sloppy game on both team's part. UWM just had too many 
weapons. UMKC has two great players in Ronnie Schmitz and Tony Dumas, but
each scored only 12 points, 18 below what they average.

UWM has now won nine straight games and is 17-1 on the year, tied for the
best record in the NCAA with North Carolina. UMKC dropped to 8-10.
Saturday night, UWM travels to Chicago for a game with State.

Clearly the major problem with UCLA's offense is its lack of outside
shooting.  Dempsey is a fine set shooter, but the team lacks anyone
who can create and make an outside shot.  I'm not so down on Edney; it
seems to me that he plays within his game.  I'm not sure what you saw
on Sunday that makes you think that he tries (ineffectively) to take
over a game.  He's certainly in the top tier of guards in the Pac-10,
although he had trouble guarding Stoudamire and Kidd.

At least the game on Sunday was fun to watch, with lots of bodies
flying around and so on.  Better than your usual plodding Pac-10 game.
I especially liked the play where Haase flipped the behind-the-back
pass to Kidd, only to see Kidd's finger roll *rejected* by Zimmerman.

So GaRRy, what's your opinion of Kidd so far?

The way UAB was playing O was responsible for the rebounding and 
the score. UAB was primarly running there offence above the three
point line where  they were playing a three man weave. they were throwing
skip passes almost at will. As for Huggins, he was not too upset with 
the game until late in the second half when it looked as if Cinn might 
just lose the game. There was really nothing for the fans to get upset 
about, it was just an awsome Defensive game by both teams. There were
not too many uncontesseted passes and almost every shot got at lest
a token attempt to block it.

  I prefer to call this the success factor. The greater the success, the
  more the other teams get up. 

  In the Pac 10, teams still pay better against UCLA. In the WAC, they
  all save their best for BYU and UTEP. In the Big 10, Indiana and
  Michigan. The ACC, Carolina until long after Smith is gone and of
  course with 2 straight NCAA titles, DUKE. 

  This is very old sport psychology of wanting to beat the best.

  I apologise for leaving out your favorite conference, but on the other

While other people are are yapping and whining, the Mighty Pitt Panthers
are surely and effectively doing the job. Yesterday, the MPP forced the
game and potent Miami Hurricanes to register in the L colum, as they have
done so may others this season.

The Canes had overcome a 13 point deficit in the last 7 minutes by a devast
atting 3 pt assault (12 treys overall, 57% from trey-land) to take a 2 
point lead with 18.4 secons. MPP called a timeout. When the second buzzer
to end the time out went off, the canes were still in the huddle. The MPP
capitlised on this a scored to tie the game. 

The canes quickly inbounded and dashed to the basket. SSG Jerry "ice" stole
the ball and dished to small forward Antoine Jones who scored to give the
MPP the winning basket. With 2.4 seconds, the Canes tried a Hill-Leattner
pass and score, failed and lost the game.

The moral in this is that the MPP are primed and will find a way to win 
against any one. And by being in it up to the very end, the canes are ser
ving noticed that they are ready for anyone.....

So watch out you all.....
