Would have made an excellent gameday story. Good to see nonetheless.

Unanswered question: any chance of petitioning for another year as we had heard rumors of?

Would you rather have seen it Monday on page 6 or today on the front?

No mention of the club he’s having to wear on his hand? Did he say during the interview when he will get that thing off? It’s not affecting his shooting as much as I thought it would have, but it’s affecting his ball handling greatly.

nice job, Observer.

in reference to the club on his hand. He rarely turns the ball over anyways because he makes excellent decisions when he passes. But i’ve heard he is taking it off over break.

I watched the tape last night. Mike P, were you or were you not in Halton arena for the big game? Good to have you out there, if so. :doh: :thumbsup:

Nice article. No complaints from me.

Mike, can we have one of those big 3 page pre-game articles for our next big game, but maybe not until we get good again? :smile:

I was there, yes. Mike Davis and his byplay with the fans behind the bench was entertaining.

You got some good TV time during his technical.

I call foul.

That may be true, but it’s much easier to defend him when he can’t use his off hand to dribble. Marcus appears to be pretty quick, but if he can’t put the ball on the floor to get around his man that quickness is useless and will allow the defender to play him tighter.

and that makes a huge difference even when he tries to go the direction of his good hand. it makes it easy for the defender to overplay marcus to his good side.

How much cover has Randolph getting eligible again at KU gotten nationally? Bennett should have transfered there, he’d be in his 3 year PLAYING now.

The NCAA should be sued and killed.

Best story ever. They found a FedEx package from KU to a recruit with 30K in it (think they just came up with that number in Blue Chips?). Jerry Tarkanian said on ESPN, and I paraphrase, “Cleveland St better watch out, Kentucky just got caught.”

BTW, Tark was cool. The diff between him and Huggy Bear: he won it all and never apologized for being a rouge. Now there’s a man I can respect. I sound like a hypocrite but, Oh Well.

Like my dad Big Hootie always says, “If you’re gonna be a bear, be a Grizzly.”
