	If Hurley can get past the lightning quick likes of Hardaway,

	He is small, and the typical guard in the NBA is about 6'4".  What

   Interesting concept. Still, Marquette is the class of the state. Although
   I'd love to see UWM get a shot at Marquette (at the UW-UWM game, a Marquette
   assistant coach said that they didn't schedule UWM this year basically
   because they were afraid they'd lose. Next year, UWM will be without
   Craig Greene, Marc Mitchell and Ray Perine--3 key seniors).

   Platteville has a strong program and would probably give UW-GB a game and
   possibly UW also if the Badgers played w/out heart. UWM would run circles
   around Platteville, while Marquette would kill them inside. I'd love to
   see Platteville get a shot though!

I couldn't disagree more with Mr. Bonehead Duke-Fan. :-)

Seriously, I must disagree with Orin, but I think his conceptions about the
rivalry are based mostly from a student's-eye-view, while mine are (more or
less) solely a resident's viewpoint.

I grew up in Chapel Hill and have always been a big UNC fan, and, like the
vast majority of the fans, I enjoy the rivalry for what it is.

The students, however, are a little more serious about the whole thing.
Most of that comes from having 18-year-olds on their own for the first
time often mixed with a gracious amount of alchohol.

Typically, though, the talk you hear from the older locals is something
like, "Well, Carolina looked fine against Texas, but Jeez Duke is good
this year," or, "Duke beat Michigan, but that doesn't make Montross/Carolina 
any less scary an opponent."

Typically it's a healthy dose of respect and rivalry.

Scott's staying on the Bulls roster probably has more to do with his
getting 6.3 rebounds and blocking 1.3 shots in less than 19 minutes
per game.  He's doing a good job for them.

What was the deepest team in the country is now paper thin, at least
in the frontcourt.  With Ostertag and Richey out, they are left with
three players at forward and center -- Hancock at small forward, Scott
at power forward, and Pauley at center.  Woodberry will also see a lot
of time at forward.  Had Davis stayed, he would have received
significant playing time (not that that had anything to do with his
departure).  Oh well.  Scott is a very underrated power forward who
will only improve, but he must not foul out if KU is to do well.
Especially now.  Pauley has to get his act together, especially now
since he will be asked to carry the load at center.  KU should be OK
until the Rainbow Classic, although NC State and Charles Kornegay
might have other ideas.

Without Davis, the `hawks are a below average rebounding team.
Without Davis and Ostertag, they positively suck.  The final of the
Rainbow Classic could be a nightmare down low for the Jayhawks
(assuming they make it, which is no sure thing given Fordham's
resurgence and Hawaii's homecourt advantage).  

Look for Williams to go out and use Davis' scholarship to sign a big
man who can rebound.  Hopefully he can renew Rasheed Wallace's
interest in KU.  KU may also renew their interest in Antonio McDyess.
More likely, though, he'll sign a JUCO power forward.

As for Ostertag, KU must have him play more than ten productive
minutes a game if they are to go anywhere at all this year.  If his
play to this point has been hampered by the injury, then this surgery
will be a big help.  Still, given his difficulties with conditioning,
a month on the stationary bike may make it difficult for him to regain
game shape in time for the Big Eight season.

	Scott Skiles @ Michigan State was also a lot like this. Unfortunately,
this was the year before the 3-point shot came in, so he only got 2 points for
his constant 25-foot barrages.  If the 3-pointer had been there, MSU would

Ricky, okay!  I like challenges!!!  ACC is definitely No. 2 - not No. 1
I'll defend my point saying that the Big 10 is No. 1 overall.

ACC has 12 teams mentioned in the rankings.  Big 10 has 12 teams mentioned
in the rankings.  The lower number you are, the better you are.  Duke No. 1 -
obviously Duke is the best.  So, lowest score wins.  (Example No. 1 + No. 3 =
4 points.  Against a No. 2 and No. 6 = 8 points.  The 1 and 3 would be better.)
By this system the ACC has No. 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 17, 19, 28, 33, 33, 40, 49 which
equals 245 points.  Now on the Big 10 side :

MEN                      WOMEN
No. 3 Indiana            No. 5 Iowa
    5 Michigan               9 Penn State
   10 Iowa                  10 Purdue
   15 Purdue                35 Ohio State
   18 Michigan State        48 Northwestern
   28 Ohio State
   29 Illinois

This gives the Big 10 teams at No. 3, 5, 5, 9, 10, 10 (Wow - 6 top 10's!), 15
18, 28, 29, 35, and 48 = 215 points.  On this system, the Big 10 is 30 points
better than the ACC.  The ACC is a little short than the Big 10 here.  This is
why I say the Big 10 is clearly the best conference in combined sexes in
basketball.  Anybody else care to challenge???

Hmm...this is very interesting.  The question is, would cross-country training
hurt a basketball player? I know that Philly's Simon Gratz high school 
(where Rasheed Wallace goes) requires its hoops team to be on the cross-
country team.  Apparently, Hurley over the summer ran through the normal 
sprint drills, and afterwards had his own personal workout, including cross
country stuff.  The man just never needs to take a breath.

This is exactly what Duke does.  It also provides a good cool-down session
after a hard practice, but at the same time makes you still keep your mind
on basketball.

I WATCHED THE TARHEELS DEMOLISH THE BUTLER BULLDOGS TODAY ON ESPN 103-56.  I AM
 A GRADUATE OF CAROLINA (1991) AND I'M HOPING THAT THIS WILL BE THE YEAR THE TA
RHEELS TAKE THE NCAA'S.  THE TARHEELS HAVE A LOT OF STRENTGHS:SIZE (4 7-FOOTERS
), DEPTH (PLAYED 11 TODAY AGAINST BUTLER), BALANCED SCORING (6 PLAYERS IN DOUBL
E FIGURES TODAY), AND COACHING (DEAN SMITH...NEED I SAY MORE).  IN 4 OF 6 GAMES
 THIS SEASON THE TARHEELS HAVE SCORED 100+ PTS.  WHAT IS KEEPING THE TARHEELS F
ROM WINNING IT ALL?  I CAN ONLY SEE ONE THING AND THAT IS SPEED. THE HEEL'S ARE
 BIG BUT SLOW.  THIS SHOULDN'T BE TOO MUCH OF A PROBLEM THOUGH.  AFTERALL THE H
EELS DID BEAT TEXAS (BY 38!) THIS YEAR AND THEY'RE A PRETTY FAST TEAM.  I HAVE
A GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS YEARS TEAM AND I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS SEASON.
 WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE HEEL'S CHANCES THIS YEAR?  WRITE ME BACK AND LET M
E KNOW.  I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM OTHER HEEL FANS AND COLLEGE HOOP FANS IN GENERAL
.
