NNTP-Posting-Host: hela.ins.cwru.edu


These teams were very evenly matched, and it came right down to the wire.
Louisville won by an incredible defensive play by Keith LeGree followed by
2 clutch freethrows by LeGree.

Xavier wanted this game BADLY.  Their players put everything on the line and
played their hearts out.  I was really impressed with their interior defense
and denial of interior passes, as well as their shot blocking.  This team
could make some noise in the Tournament if they play at that level regularly.

Louisville needed this game badly as well.  VCU is coming to town, with the
best player in the Metro.  Not to mention Kansas on Saturday.  The Cardinals
are now 6-4 (2-0).

How good is Louisville?  They have 4 losses including 2 buzzer beaters (Georgia
Tech and Vandy), plus the blowout at home to Kentucky.  Their best win was
over Michigan State in the road opener.

It's hard to say where this team is going.  Morton is becoming more of a 
scoring threat, while Miner seems to be declining.  LeGree continues to make
bad decisions, and Rozier puts up numbers without really trying, it seems.
It's nice to have a guy who gets 10+rebs a game regularly, though. ;)

What was the final score on the Cincinatti/UMass game last night?

I know at halftime it was Cinci 31/Umass 17, a very defensive game.

	Easy, maybe, but fallacious.  I don't know how the situation is now, but
when I matriculated at Duke in 1980 the plurality of students hailed from the
Old North State, North Carolina.  I believe New Jersey was third on the list.
I wouldn't be surprised if those two states occupied the same position on the
list of origins of UNC students, although, since UNC is limited to 25% out of
state students, the proportions would of course differ.

	Interestingly, this leads into the remarkable fact that at UNC, the
best predictor of academic standing is the first digit of one's SSN...

It would seem quite likely that he wouldn't be in sync yet, but what do
you meen by not in shape?  I've heard at least one other person say
that, but I would think he would still be in good shape from the
football season.  Is the conditioning that different?

Craig Taylor, the Buckeye play by play gentleman on their radio broadcast, really
thought that Alex Davis's foul with 9 seconds remaining was not strategic.  He
thinks that it was incidental and felt the ref had no good reason to blow the
whistle with the game on the line at the point.  I have never seen a Randy Ayer's
team employ the strategy of fouling in transition to avoid a three point attempt, so
Taylor's analysis made sense to me.  The reason why not to do that became quite
evident when the Buckeye's failed to snag the rebound of the intentionally missed
free throw (in fact the Buckeyes seemed to be unable to grab rebounds in general
throughtout the game).  What do you folks, who saw the game, think...did Alex Davis
foul to avoid the three point attempt?

Funderburke didn't seem to get it going until the last 12-15 minutes of the game.
This is when he returned from his second benching of the game due to un-inspired 
play.  He will need to be able to motivate himself a little better if the Buckeyes
hope to have any success during conference play.

After the incredible prowess displayed by the Georgia Tech team in 
defeating the mighty Blue Devils (a far more worthy opponent than the 
lowly Tarheels who were lucky to eek out a win on Saturday), they 
will surely be victorious on Wednesday night with a comfortable margin

Well I didn't want to give the impression that I think Grant gets away

do however agree and believe in the "Jordan Rule," so maybe it's true that

Phelps is shooting around 40% from the floor and 30% from three point
land.  However, this includes two games where he shot *real* bad
(something like 2 for 18 combined).  He looks a little better this
year and seems more confident going to the hoop then last year.  He
also seems more confident shooting the threes.  Packer made a comment
about his technique last night (something about not being straight
enough when he shoots).  Other then that he does not have a bad
looking shot (like Rice did) and I expect him to get better by
the end of the year (or was that "I pray he gets better :-)).

I thought Oklahoma played valiantly. Duke is clearly an extremely talented team.
Oklahoma was obviously underpowered, but played with great heart.  Few teams
come back from 20 points down at Duke to challenge.

While Terry Evans was highly disappointing, I thought that the performances
turned in from the some of the younger players were quite good.  Oklahoma can
go a long way this season if they can keep their players playing well
consistantly.  That will be the defining challenge.

You are correct sir!  We have a winner!  No one is advocating playing every
single member of the top 10 on their own home courts, but would it really 
hurt to schedule 3-4 legitimate top 20 teams?  I suspect if the NCAA ever

you beat, maybe we will see this.  In Iowa's defense (something I really

Weird, when it was first announced he did not qualify at Arizona, his dad
was quoted as saying that had they known Kevin was in danger of not meeting
the requirements, he would have worked harder/taken additional courses to
meet the requirments. I remember posting it at the time cause I thought it
seemed like a coupout from his dad, sure there are no counselors in highschool
in Northern California these days(Prop 13 killed them in 82) but any kid 
planning on going to college has fairly easy access to college requirments.
This to me sounded like they were surprised he did not qualify at Arizona,
so if he did not know, how did he expect Arizona to know?

Seems like a good kid and as you said Lute figured he could have handled it
at Arizona anyways. 

One thing is for sure, Kevin Dempsey can pass the basketball. In the ASU game
as in the Georgia game, they got 3 hoops off inbounds plays simply because
Dempsey was able to look off the defense and thread the needle inside.
All he needs is more confidence to take his shot and that seems to coming
along too.
