    I do. Although not terribly assertive in college, he will do fine in the NBA. His defense, strengthened by his lengthy and lean NBA physique, will carry the day. His improvement in shooting this year is a big plus. All IMHO, where the H stands for hubristic. YMMV.

    Proctor is on a team with three first round/lottery picks. I am not surprised his statistics bounce around from game to game.

    Tyrese looked like an NBA player from day one. Defense, length and strength, etc.... I expect Him to be a long-term NBA player.

    I always thought that Scott Goelsch off the bunch might have delivered some hits to Givens that discouraged his penetrative of the lane.

    Medicare Advantage? Not for those with high medical expenses. Cost-sharing can get very, very expensive.

    Weren't those long skirts sexy? Ah... Dean Mary Grace Wilson -- I miss her so much. Cheerleaders back then relied much less on routines and, I guess, mostly led cheers.

    BTW, do you agree that, with Trump's actions against DEI programs, Title IX enforcement will likely dry up? Ergo, policy paper on NIL being shared proportionately by men and women college athletes will go nowhere.

    MBB Nerd Polls 2024-25

    Sorry, Torvik, but "average lead" is a very mischievous stat. Lessee... a team starting a game 20-0 gets a higher game score than a team that ends the 1st half 20-0, even though halftime and final scores are same. Perhaps I misunderstand (which happens often).

    Down Memory Lane

    Thanks, Stray. Art grabbed the smaller Larry Brown around the shoulders to keep him from shooting (a common foul back then). Brown started throwing punches. They were playground rivals on LI. Apparently, Art kneed UNC Coach Frank Maguire in the groin during the melee. This, I guess, was the...

    There is no tape or film of my first Duke-UNC game. It was the game eons ago with the fight between Art Heyman and Larry Brown. The film -- at least the exciting parts -- were confiscated by the ACC office and have never been released. But Duke won.

    I had two 15YOs in my class at Duke -- eons ago. And, Duke Med back then regularly enrolled Duke students after three years. I believe, but am not certain, that they received bachelor degrees after 1st year of med school. Oh, and there was a silly tempest in a teapot about Sen. Rand Paul's...

    Are we witnessing Kyrie 2.0 (Flagg)

    Didn't Zion get hurt in a freak "equipment malfunction" and miss a whole bunch of games. Wasn't that what set the team back?

    FB: 2024 Bowl Games

    Lessee, all home teams won in the first weekend. Second, all teams with byes lost in the second weekend (nos. 1-4). What changes would I make as a consequence? "None. The coaches and teams can see which way the field tilted this year, and need to prepare themselves better next year."
