was chester frazier's dad an nba player?

 

EDIT: Most of the story was about Derek Smith's career and his teammates

Yes, I read it. It had the sad music and then Jay Bilas? I think talking when I first clicked on it. It was fine, but damn do we always have to get a huge Duke piece before the tourny? My favorite part was the story about how he bettered Jordan in 90. Was pretty neat.

 

No Chester's dad wasn't an NBA player, but I bet Chester misses him just as much as Nolan does his NBA playing dad.

The entire story was not about how much Nolan Smith misses his dad. It was about what the NBA players did after Derek Smith's death.

Oh, I think you watched the video but didn't read the story. The story was much better than the video.

the point is, ESPN thinks everyone in the world cares about Duke, when really the only people who care are Duke fans and ESPN

Robbie Hummel made third team all Big Ten. Man we all look so stupid.

After going 0-300 in Big East play in the regular season, DePaul is about to upset Cincinnati in the first round of the Big East Tournament.

 

That came out of nowhere.

quick, sign Wainwright to an extension

Hard to see the score on the on-screen scoreboard on this BET web stream. Other than that, no complaints.

cincy lost their last three games - they got blown out at syracuse, lost at south florida and then home against seton hall. i'd guess they're just not playing well right now and that's why they won today.

 

it'd be the greatest thing ever if depaul won the big east tourney, but the odds of that happening are like 10000 to 1.

That's actually probably underselling the chances, even after today happened.

I'll go out on a limb and say at least one of the teams who are listed as 100% to win Round 2 will not, in fact, win Round 2

Round 2 odds are to make it to round 2. And all those teams who are listed as 100% are listed that way because they have a bye to that round so they automatically make it.

There should be some sort of criminal investigation as to Hasheem Thabeet getting co-Big East POY with DeJuan Blair when Pitt dominated UConn twice, and Blair all but castrated Thabeet in the first head-to-head meeting. Thabeet is the 3rd best player on UConn (Jeff Adrien, AJ Price), and that doesn't count injured Jerome Dyson.

 

What a joke.

Thabeet is averaging 13.6 ppg, 10.8 rpg, 4.5 bpg, and 1.74 pps, while shooting 64% from the field. Every one of those leads UConn, except points -- in which Adrien has a total of three more points for a 0.1 superior per game average. Thabeet also, at 7-foot-3, is a dynamic shot-blocking presence that changes the opposing team's entire approach to the game. He's easily UConn's most important, and effective, player. Multiple teams have a guard as good as Price or a forward as good as Adrien. What separates UConn is Thabeet.

DePaul actually was playing a little better lately too. They nearly beat Villanova at home and they gave Georgetown a game at Georgetown on Saturday.

 

After today, I wouldn't be surprised if they beat Providence tomorrow.

[Andy]

Notre Dame wins 61-50. I don't think there's been that few combined points in an ND game in years. Ugly to say the least.

 

West Virginia tomorrow.

Typical Wainwright. Can't even lose the right way!

 

Congratulations to the players. It's not their fault they have no offensive or defensive system. Maybe this will help their preparation this offseason.

 

You're right, Providence is beatable. Give them a 10% chance.

cleveland state giving butler all they can handle. could burst somebody's bubble tonight.

[Vanilla Ice]

bubble teams better be rooting for cleveland state.

 

Butler only up 1 with 12 minutes left

Yeah, I really, REALLY don't need Cleveland State winning this game.

[SouthSideRyan]

I'm all for the Big Ten getting a ton of teams in the tourney, and shutting up some of these smug douchebags, but I could see the committee doing something really stupid like giving Butler a better seed than Illinois, so sorry conference pride.
