Isn't NW considered one of the best defensive pressure teams in the nation?

I don't think he was going to get many calls yesterday if his life depended on it.

But this is every game. They share his jersey with him with the ball or without it

With 12 minutes left, Williams and Sampson are 4 - 17


Williams can't shoot very well past the rim when dunking.

On the plus, I really like Hollins. He is really smart, and he makes things happen on defense. And how about the big stepback from Armelin late in the game?  I love his guts and toughness, even when it leads to some stupid freshman decisions. Those two players will be big contributors for the next 3 years.

Sorry dad, but I can't stand watching the product you help coach.

NBA ball has become less worth watching as I've gotten older.

Status: offline 		I love the college game, and I don't think the NBA will ever be as good as it was in the Magic/Bird days again, but I'm really enjoying the NBA right now. Kind of like baseball, there's such a huge crop of great young stars in the game right now. And that makes it enjoyable to watch to me.

I think Bill Simmons wrote this earlier this year, but there's legitimately 2-3 VERY interesting games pretty much every night in the NBA now.

Especially the bigs in close missing their shots

He's not great or anything, but the Gophers should make a play for him.

Sampson is a piece of crap. Might be the laziest big man in the country. It's like he's not even on the court on defense.

Sullinger is good, and is getting swarmed, but he's also overrated. The double standard with officiating on him is ridiculous.

What I don't understand is the hacking and mauling the Ohio State big men get away with. What does it take to get to the free throw line?
