11.03.08 Fast Breaks

Posted by rtmsf on November 3rd, 2008

T-minus one week until the first games…

  • Pitt’s Sam Young may be changing positions (from PF to SF) to shore up the Panthers’ three-point shooting.
  • Xavier’s presumptive PG, freshman Mark Lyons, was ruled ineligible to play this season, putting XU in a pinch at the PG position unless IU transfer Jordan Crawford’s waiver to play immediately is approved by the NCAA. 
  • AP All-Americans – Hansbrough, Harongody, Griffin, Collison, Curry  
  • Some exhibition games – Notre Dame, Louisville (who struggled), and Purdue.
  • A fine interview with a player who almost pulled off one of the greatest first-round NCAA upsets ever.  Here’s a hint – Alonzo Mourning was involved.
  • Parrish’s non-BCS top 15 and all-americans.  Jameson Fleming provides us with his nine sensational sophomores – where’s Patrick Patterson, JF!?!
  • In case you missed it, SI had an in-depth article outlining the mess that Tom Crean inherited at Indiana, including allegations of drug use and 19 “F”s on the Hoosiers’ report cards last year.
  • We’re still not sure if this is a joke or legit, but the idea of PETA getting involved in a Memphis player’s weight issues is simply bizarre.
