This morning, while fumbling around for my underwear, I turn on Sports Center to see that Sam Thompson had 3 of the "Top 10" plays!

The best (I think it was ranked #3) was the dunk where the defender was about 8 inches above the rim, but the lob and Thompson's hands were 2 feet above the rim.

I don't know how to do it but if someone could link the Top 10 (or at least #3) that would be cool.

Good defense, most of the time.

Loving is going to be a star.

Although pleased with the result from last night, I still have some pretty major concerns about this team. Free throw shooting was abysmal again last night. Maryland killed OSU with 2nd chance points - 17 offensive rebounds allowed. As good as Williams has looked at times, he was pretty awful last night - he was abused on pick-and-roll defense, made almost no offensive contribution, and got just 1 rebound in 28 minutes.

That was the most ridiculous game I've ever seen.

I see that game and raise you with the 93-65 beatdown of Wisconsin with OSU making 14 of 15 three point attempts. :lol:

yeah, that's it. Thanks.
The second dunk is the one where the defender thinks he is in position to stop it somehow, and Thompson skies above him and slams it down anyway.

I agree with the FT assessment. Turrible.

Williams is still a work in progress, too, but his confidence has grown exponentially from last year.

I thought the team played very well against Maryland but Shannon and Q got a little sloppy at times. Our free-throw shooting really needs to improve although a lot of those missed free throws were by Trey. I do not understand how Ross misses so many free throws. I do not know if it is lack of concentration or what but it is very strange. We do have to improve our defensive rebounding but that Has to become a team effort. The only thing that I do not like about Michigan State losing last night is that we are probably going to go up in the polls and even though we have not lost a game I do not think we are that good yet.

Well, to be fair, you don't think they're that good any year this early, now do you?

Yeah, I thought about that one, but picked Duke because I never thought a blowout of magnitude proportions would happen against Duke.

But I can't disagree with the Wisky game. That was absurd. Fuck Wisky!
