Friday Live Blog

12:35- This GT-UNLV brings back a lot memories. Lethal Weapon 3 and Tark's bunch were two teams that led me to love college hoops as a kid. It's a good matchup today, but couldn't they have brought back Tark and Cremins for some ceremonial BS. -PS

12: 37- Lundquist drops some knowledge. Memphis shooting 61% from the stripe? That will hurt. Nothing beats not being at work and Raftery calling games. I'm eagerly awaiting the first Onions call of the day. -PS

12:42- Seems that more teams are getting the doors blown off early this year. Today's early victim is semi popular upset special, Albany. Down 29-11 and we haven't even reached the under 8 timeout. Thanks for coming, Albany. -PS

12:53- Thaddeus Young- Stay in school! It seems a given that some NBA GM is going to take this guy in the lottery, but he isn't ready. The talent is there, but this guy isn't at the level yet where he can consistently be a #1 option. He'll disappear and than start forcing bad shots. Javarris Crittenton is the more NBA ready player on this team. Give it another year, Thaddeus. -PS


1:18 Looks like there is an addition to the token contest-- it's Justin Howerton for the Mean Green of North Texas. A 6'10" sophomore, Howerton is easily the stiffest and most cerebral player for Johnny Jones' team. He hasn't really contributed much in terms of tangible results, but I like what he does out there-- which is look awkward, recklessly fly into the picture, and diving onto the floor for the ball two seconds too late. -JH
