	That may be true, but then, Price was no where near that level when 
he was a senior in college, either.  Given the amount Hurley has progressed
while at Duke, I think comparison to Price is justified. (that is, it is
reasonable to extrapolate that Hurley will continue to improve)

Hey, we've got Tarheels defending Bobby Hurley on this board, and I think
Glenn Robinson is a damn good player.  We're all just one big happy family,

Wasn't Hornacek a point guard coming out of college (Iowa or Iowa St.
I forget which).  I think Phoenix was intending to use him as KJ's
backup.  When he improved his offense significantly, they decided to
use him at off-guard.

 that is what I am about to do....

 It's the Purdue Boilermakers 129, the Indiana Hoosiers 78.  There's 1.2
seconds left on the game clock.  Baby, time's running out big on dem 
Hoosiers with no place to go and Bobby Knight is one angry coach.  Suddenly,
there's a breakaway!  Running down the court is Robinson, going for the score
baby! BOOOOM! Bobby Knight comes out onto the floor and clotheslines him,
sending him onto a crumpled mess of photographers.  The benches clear!   A 
mass fight ensues in the center of the floor!  There's a bunch of people
as the refs try to clear it up!  Oh my gosh! And the fans are now involved in
the mess!  The refs try to break it up.  BAM! Someone accidently hit a ref
and he's down.  There's chaos folks!  But, all of a sudden, who do I see?
It's Hulk Hogan and company..trying to break it up..and he does...
But, Bobby Knight has a chair in this hand and throws it on the floor..
the ref signals a T..yes, YES, YES, TYes, the ref has just signaled a T
on Bobby Knight and is he ever livid....folks...he is so mad, ooooo he
was just signaled another T.  Bobby's still arguing...and the ref has just
ejected him...and as Bobby Knight leaves Mackey Arena, he takes his team
with him..and the fans in Mackey roar big time...
Purdue has just won the game...

Well, the question about U of L's ability to shoot 3 pointers should
have been answered tonight. 64% from 3 point land ain't bad!! DePaul is
a better team than the pollster make out to be and will get better as
the season progresses. They gave Louisville all they wanted and more,
but the Cards played like they are capable of playing and without Troy
Smith, who is in the hospital with a bad case of the flu. I guess we'll
have to wait until Georgia Tech this Sat. to see if the real U of L
showed up against DePaul.

 The MCC does not have football, and with the possible exception of  maybe
Evansville or Xavier the MCC teams are very weak and draw little

Geez, I hate to get involved in this Hurley debate, but I was just
reading through all the stuff about his assists records and stuff, when
I recalled a study I saw a few years back about different arenas and
scorekeepers in the ACC.  Supposedly they were interested in how one
scores an "assist".  Some places you have to make a pass where the
recipient is left with an open lay-up, and in some places basically all
you have to do is touch the ball before the guy who scores (like in
hockey).

The two things I remembered about the study were that Clemson was the
easiest arena in the ACC to get an assist -- apparently the scorekeeper
in Littlejohn has Canadian blood in him or something.  Conversely, the
toughest arena in the ACC to get an assist in was Duke's own Cameron
Indoor.  

So, how about a little credit for Hurley for getting all those assists
even with 13-16 games per year in Cameron (and thus difficult games to
get assists) whereas Corchiani (the current career leader) only had to
play there once a year?

(And something in the back of my head wants to say that State was the
second easiest place to get an assist, but that would be too conveinent,
I must be making it up...)

With the mention of "patient offense and hard-nosed hustle defense," for 
a minute there I thought you were talking about Boyd "Tiny" Grant, the  
coach at Colorado State from 1987-1991.  His teams played a tight matchup
zone on defense and let the air out of the ball on offense--scores of 50-47
weren't uncommon then.  The Rams took third in the 1988 NIT and made the
NCAA's in 1989 and 1990.

The current coach at Colorado State is Stew Morrill, late of Montana.  While
we're all hoping that he can match Grant's success, it's clear that his
style is different.  The current CSU team is more uptempo on offense and
(sadly) not as ferocious defensively.  Last season the team went 8-8 in the
WAC, which was a pleasant surprise given the talent gap.  I think this year's
team should be tough at home, will struggle on the road, and will finish  
somewhere in the middle of the conference standings.

As a coach, Morrill had a fine record at Montana, and Ram fans everywhere
(there must be at least five of us, scattered throughout the world) expect
more of the same here.

Cheers!

Okay, now divide 245 points by the 9 teams in the ACC:

245/9 = 27.2

Now divide 215 points by the 11 teams in the Big 11:

215/11 = 19.5

This, of course, proves absolutely nothing!

BUT, if we divide 245 ACC points by 22 Big 11 teams (men & women) and
then divide 215 Big 11 points by 18 ACC teams:

ACC: 245/22 = 11.1
Big11: 215/18 = 11.9

So, if we combine your total power points (my term) by my conference
size factor, the ACC is just a wee bit tougher, on a per-team basis.
