I noticed on the front page near the bottom, Bilas wrote an article where he discusses the Defensive Player of the Year and the picture is of Eddie.
Anyone with Insider? A post would be great.
Go Niners! Good win today! Thanks for the memories, Plave, Chris and Eddie!
[b]I went to see Memphis play at Charlotte on Wednesday night, and it was the most entertaining game I had seen to date.Charlotte plays an entertaining style, shooting deep and switching defenses. Memphis has two of the best athletes in college basketball in Darius Washington and Rodney Carney.
Eddie Basden
Basden’s all-around game has Jay’s attention.Washington is ultra-quick, and it is impossible for anyone to consistently stay in front of him. He is explosive and can really get to the basket and finish. Carney is a world-class athlete that has unbelievable speed. He is a superior leaper that gets eye-high to the rim, and he can shoot it.
However, the most impressive player on the floor was Charlotte’s Eddie Basden. He was a man among men out on the floor, and showed why he should be the national defensive player of the year.
Basden leads Conference USA in steals, is the league’s all-time steals leader, and can guard absolutely anyone. He is athletic and a smart defender. Above all, he is a winner who makes winning plays.
Basden is the paradigm of a kid that stays four years and matures into a star. He will play in the NBA, and he will be a solid player in the league because he can guard people, he’s strong, and he knows how to play.[/b]
There ya go
Edit: Here is the pic that went with it
thanks Kristi… 
Pretty high praise. He should be proud of himself. Graduate, go pro. Not too shabby.
thanks for dropping the dime B)
More evidence that dookie v and digger are COMPLETE IDIOTS that obviously have a hidden, personal agenda against us. Probably because our players, fans and coaches don’t kiss their asses.
That picture is from the NCAA game against Notre Dame in 2001-2002. Couldn’t they find something a little more recent? :huh: 
Also from Jay Bilas
(Didn’t see this before; sorry if it’s a repeat)
[b]However, my Coach of the Year in C-USA is Charlotte's Bobby Lutz. It amazes me that Lutz seems to toil in relative anonymity when he routinely takes his teams to the NCAA Tournament, and does so with too few resources at his disposal. Lutz is a master at changing defenses, keeping you off balance, and he allows his team a disarming freedom to make plays without fear of failure.A fierce competitor, Lutz infuses his team with that attitude and fights like a man possessed on the sidelines. Lutz can coach with anyone in America and win.
Conference USA Coach of the Year: Bobby Lutz, Charlotte. Runner-Up: Tom Penders, Houston. High Honorable Mention: Rick Pitino, Louisville, Dave Leitao, DePaul.[/b]
