OT: College basketball thread

[Fez Hammersticks]

Evan Turner is insanely good! He's seriously a Brandon Roy clone. I'd seriously consider taking him #1 over Wall. He's a legit 6'7" with PG skills.



Ian Thomsen of ESPN agrees as he puts Turner 1b) to Wall.

The other two scouts fully endorse Turner as a top pick. "He's a point guard in our league, or a point-forward. He has the ball in his hands for Ohio State 90 percent of the time. He's strong, he can really, really pass, he's a great rebounder and he's tough. He's not a great shooter, but he can score 20 a night on tip-ins and mid-range jump shots. Why shoot threes if no one is able to stop him from 15 feet and in? If he works at it -- and everything I'm told is that he has a great work ethic -- he can learn to make enough threes and become a great player. He's a monster."

My Beavers have been a dissapointment this season. That's all I know about college basketball right now, until March Madness.

I agree too. Beavers were picked to be in the middle of the pac-10. Now there season is worse than last year.
Beavers should have beaten ILL Chicago and Seattle U. and then their record would have been 10-9 overall by now.
Beavers got up January 22nd very early.

Robinson had his players up early Friday morning for a morning practice.

Apparently they got the message loud and clear.

Freshman Jared Cunnigham and sophomore Kevin McShane got the start in place of junior Daniel Deane and senior Josh Tarver against California on Saturday.

Cunnigham had a solid game with 18 points as the Beavers took the Golden Bears down to the wire in a 65-61 loss.

The effort on Saturday was night and day from 40 hours earlier.

The dramatic change had Robinson a bit perplexed as well.

At least the Beaver program isn't being beat up like the Ducks are in Football. Man the Duck football program has been making the news lately. Whats up beating up a UO kicker? Thats screwed up.
