Talor Battle redux

Dedicated to you, Penn State for raining threes down on Michigan State. Mmm, what you say?

Post game analysis - SDSU/Gonzaga

Can't close games.
Horrible three point shooting.
Can't win the games they should.
No signature wins. Ever.
Dependent on other teams doing badly.
2nd tier recruits.

All those demons were exercised last night. At 1:30 am we discovered we had a good basketball team. A really good basketball team. At HOME Gonzaga only led once during the game. SDSU made the three point shots they had to make in the second half. And they closed the game by playing nearly error free basketball, outside of that charge call with 38 seconds left. DJ Gay and Kawhi Leonard can flat out ball. And the Aztecs leave Spokane with their first signature win.

Where are you now, Coaches Poll?

Yes, sir

Finally a game where Kentucky's John Wall did not single-handedly win, but it was a game that he changed the momentum with Kentucky finally beating Louisville 71 to 62. We were somewhat worried how the game started (if you didn't see it, click here for an artist's interpretation of those moments) with the fights and the technicals being thrown around.

But give the si, senor salute nod to Wall for this play:



Geez. We hate you one-and-done rule.

John Wall for Heisman

We are starting to believe in the this mix between Kobe Bryant Dwayne Wade and Jason Kidd. That UConn / Kentucky game had an NBA type of environment feel to it.

Let us be clear, we do not mean NBA type of PLAY. That would have sucked.

Michael Douglas, Pat Riley, all the stars were out. Insane fans (in a good way), and once again a last minute heroic effort by the freshman that sealed the deal 64 to 61 for the Wildcats.

We are running out of superlatives here...

Kentucky's weapon

All we can say is John motherfucking Wall. With Kentucky tied with Miami of Ohio and only 0.5 seconds left, Mr. Wall just calmly takes the ball down the length of the court and shoots the game winning 2.

Amazing.

Here is the scene from the nosebleed section:

John Wall to play college hoops up to 4 years!

In an interview with Brian Clifton (Mr. Wall's errand boy agent friend mooch guardian) he made the following statement about Wall's possible choice to play for the University of Miami...

"If you're going to be away from home for a year, or two years, or four, there are much worse places to be."

Really? REALLY?

For those who are late to the party, Wall is a ridiculously gifted high school senior that every college wants to get their paws on. And Mr. Clifton is saying that Wall might not be another one-and-done NBA thug? C'mon, we're not the fools you take us for. At least some of us.

This motherf-er is sick

Let the OJ Mayo/Erik Murphy style recruiting madness begin!



Introducing John Wall. Your wife/girlfriend would sleep with him (and we mean penetration activity, not "cuddling") if it meant that he would commit to her favorite college.

And Wall knows this. Should be interesting.
