Decision Imminent
March 16, 2008Sabathia In Pinstripes? Not So Fast
March 17, 2008Welcome back, Zydrunas Ilgauskas! Yesterday’s Cavaliers game was entirely too close for my liking, but there is no denying that Z’s presence in the post was huge on both ends of the floor. Yes, he had 16 points, nine boards and three blocks, but indirectly enabling Ben Wallace to do his thing (15 rebounds, three steals, one block) helped out immensely. Proof in the pudding: Emeka Okafor and Nazr Mohammed combined to go 8-for-23 from the floor.
And while it’s good to see LeBron laughing off DeShawn Stevenson’s comments from last week, I think he could have come up with a better reference than this – you know he was sitting on that one for a while.
The brackets are out! While Ohio State pulled a number one seed in the NIT, it will be up to Kent State (nine) and Xavier (three) in terms of repping the state of Ohio. After seeing the numbers, it looks like the University of Dayton got a bit of the hose by the committee. 32 RPI and not getting a bid?
For those CSU fans, if you’re the vindictive type, you’re likely pretty happy to see the bid that Butler received. With an RPI of 17, and a season-end AP rank of 12th overall, you’d expect at least a top-five seed…right? Wrong. Butler got slapped with a seventh-seed and an opponent of South Alabama. I should also mention that the game will be held in Birmingham.
22 straight from the Houston Rockets. A career-high 31 from a guy that used to make a living playing basketball in a tour that made stops at Tri-C Metro Campus.
And don’t look now, but your Cleveland Gladiators are a perfect 3-0 on the season. Need I remind you that this squad won two games ALL of last year? Otis Amey put together a 238-yard day this weekend, and this team looks like they’re having a blast out there.
Have a great St. Patty’s day, folks. If you’re coming downtown, feel free to have a green one for me while I sit in my office!
