The Lafayette Hustlers are a local AAU team made up of former college
players.  These college players are mostly former Boilers which include
Ricky Hall, Steve Reid, and Melvin McCants.  The Lafayette Hustlers are
year in and year out one of the best AAU teams in the country.  They
usually give Purdue a good battle but run out of gas at the end of the 
game.

Exactly.  Do you think my dad's team wants to play defense?  Of
course, and they'll trash any team who doesn't!  Look at what 
Hubert did.  And look at our recruits!  Would you buy that for a 
dollar?  Of course!  We already moved the line out once to a reasonable
level of difficulty.  If you don't defense the shot, you pay the price.
If they don't defense the shot, you reap the rewards.  I'd rather see
a game than some mad bomber making his next run (though some Royal and
Blue friend of a certain Tom Wopat impersonator at Loo-Doo-U I know would
kick ass with this strategy).

 Malone committed to Maryland but did not play there.  This was back when he

involved with UM.  This info can be found in _Loose Balls_, an excellent book

     If you mean Ted Kitchel, ex-Indiana star, the last time I saw him
     (1987) he was in training to become an agent of the Indianapolis
     Life Insurance Company.  His back made it impossible to consider
     any further serious basketball competition.

     Then again, 1987 is a long time ago...

Subject line says it all.  The 7'2" 300 lb center, originally from the
Netherlands, was also considering among others, LSU and Kansas (as far
as I can remember).  Dale Brown tried really hard to get him but
Keady's ability to develop big men steered him in the direction of
Purdue.  It didn't hurt that Purdue was the first big school to be
interested in him.

Yes, gArY has his facts about as straight as usual here.

UCLA, of course, won the first one.  And after having demonstrated that
they could dominate the Pac-10 tournament at will, just like any other
tournament, they decided it wasn't worth bothering with, concentrating
on academics instead...

Seems like McInnes managed to accidently throw in a few too many alley-oops.
I thought McInnes was supposed to be a big assist man.

The LA Times reports (11/13):
  
  Marion Jones of Thousand Oaks High, a national-class sprinter and a standout
  basketball player, has signed a national letter of intent to do both at North
  Carolina.

Not to be ignorant, but is this is a man or a woman?  Is Pat on the net to

Also, Monte Marcaccini, a 6'6" swimgman from Sherman Oaks Notre Dame said he 
will sign a letter of intent with Indiana today.

No doubt Krzyzewski would be the coach.  He has Duke's best track record to

not to mention four players on the bench.

Gee, one day after I say Griffith might choose Purdue because it had a
better-suited offense for him, he goes and chooses Wisconsin.  If that
isn't verification of the woofing theory, I don't know what is.

Oh, well...  I get to see a decent center for a few years, I guess.

Notice how Tem Dam signed with Purdue right after this Griffith
announcement?  My guess is he would have gone elsewhere had Griffith chosen
Purdue, since his playing time would have been limited.  Smart guy...

Purdue's tradition of big stiffs continues...

Note: by the Doug Moe terminology -

Stiff = guy shot on talent who helps your team to win

Dog = same as stiff but doesn't help your team to win

No-hoper = a stiff wanna-be, but not enough talent
