My Beloved 95 Bloggees:
If I only had an editor, he or she would have caught my fumble in the last blog that South Carolina's point guard/wide receiver is Bruce Ellington not Wllkington. NEXT
On Thursday night, Florida manhandled North Florida 91 - 55 http://www.gatorzone.com/basketball/men/boxscore.php?gameid=10279 . Four of the Gators Fabulous Five guards, Kenny Boynton (20), Erving Walker (17), Mike Rosario (15) and Bradley Beal (12) were in double figures, while the other, defensive specialist Scottie Wilbekin, did his thing with 4 steals.
The lack of frontcourt depth is worrisome which was exacerbated by the absence of Will Yeguete who was sitting out due to concussion symptoms. He took an elbow to the face last game from Ohio State's Jared Sullinger. That is a big ouch. NEXT
When was the last time you saw an ACC team only score 42 points? That happened to first-year coach Mark Turgeon's Maryland Terrapins in Puerto Rico on Thursday when they ran into Anthony Grant's defensive machine, Alabama, 62 - 42. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/boxscore?gid=201111170006 ? It was a complete wipeout, with no Maryland player scoring double figures. Not only were the Turtles outrebounded 44 - 28 but they shot just 26.5 % against the pressure of the Crimson Tide.
Alabama was led by Tony Mitchell's double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds. If I were the Tide AD. I would do everything possible to make Anthony Grant a long-time Tuscaloosa resident. I love his team and the future of Tide hoops with him at the helm. NEXT
Mike Anderson's Arkansas Razorbacks continue to be undefeated with a 91 - 68 victory over Oakland on Wednesday night in its second game of the season http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/boxscore?gid=201111160019 . Marshawn Powell was the man again with his 20 points on 9 for 13.
However, here is a freshman to watch, point guard B. J. Young, who scored 16 points in just 20 minutes on 5 for 8 shooting, 3 for 5 from the deep end. Last year I saw an entertaining televised St. Louis high school basketball game that featured two All-Americans from that town, Young and the Gators' Bradley Beal . They are both so special. NEXT
Speaking of Arkansas, do you remember Corliss Williamson, the 1994 NCAA Tournament MVP when Arkansas won the Big Dance. "The Big Nasty" is currently the 2nd-year head coach at Central Arkansas (Scottie Pippen's alma mater) from the Southland Conference. His first year was disappoining with a 5 -24 record. This year could be worse. The Bears are 0 - 3 after Wednesday night's 97 - 90 loss to NAIA's Philander Smith College http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/teams/cdm . Nothing more needs to be said. NEXT
In a battle of future Gator in-state opponents, 25th ranked Florida State held off Stetson, 79 - 66 Wednesday night http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/boxscore?gid=201111160213 . The Seminoles' Okaro White had 18 points on 8 for 11 from the field, while Bernard James had a double-double with 15 points on 7 for 8 along with 11 rebounds. Deividas Dulkys came off the bench shooting 6 times without a miss, 4 times outside of the arc for 16 points.
FSU has very large bodies with a a starting frontcourt of 6' 11, 6' 10 and 6 ' 8 and a backcourt of two 6' 5 guards, and even more size coming off the bench. It will be a "tall" challenge for the Gators when they host FSU on December 22. Also, Stetson is much improved under their new head coach, Casey Alexander, a long-time assistant (and former player) at the successful Belmont program. The November 28th battle against the Hatters in Orlando may not be a pushover for the Orange and Blue. Ask FSU. NEXT
Mark Gottfried's N C State Wolfpack won a 60 - 58 nail biter over Princeton Wednesday night http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/boxscore?gid=201111160411 giving the Raleigh school a 3 - 0 record. The key stat was N. C. State winning the battle on the boards 34 - 22. The Pack's success has taken place even while not at full strength. Sophomore 6' 8 forward C.J. Leslie will be eligible to play Saturday against Vandy after serving a 3-game suspension for accepting improper benefits. NEXT
Visiting Creighton ruined UAB's opener on Wednesday 70 - 60 . Bloggee Doug who was in attendance raved about Doug McDermott and his 27 points on 11 for 18 shooting, 3 for 4 long distance. Bluejay head coach, Greg McDermott was also pleased with his son's play.
For the Blazers, former local high school star, Jordan Swing, a Western Kentucky transfer, had 14 points in his UAB debut. Pre-season Conference USA Player of the Year, 6' 10 Cameron Moore, was not a factor offensively with just 7 points, but he had 7 blocked shots and 12 rebounds. THAT'S IT.
Enjoy....Blogee Bob's 3 - 0 Campbell Camels defeated N.C. A&T 94 - 66.....freshman Trey Freeman hit both of his free throws so he is now 22 for 22 this year,
