Keep watching those TNT games, Bucky! The pros play their arses off (hell, Iverson who you mention was relentless on that Philly team that broke Bucks fans hearts). The pro game is much closer to pure ball than the coach-controlled college game. It's a defensive league now, much moreso than most college conferences. Man-to-man D all the way, snap decision-making, the best players in the world, even better referees (the college refs are so bad that the make up calls in the NBA MAKE SENSE).

And let's not forget: When the NBA didn't play so much D, the college fans complained that the pros didn't play D. Now that the pro teams setting the standards play lock-down D, the college fans complain that there's not enough scoring in the men's league. The core of the "college is better" argument never has been about basketball.

I propose trading 14 win Looper back to St. Louis for Rasmus. When did that kid ever win 14 games?

Dan, you have a lot for faith in the Badgers tomorrow than I do. I'm just not feeling comfy about this game. Hope I'm wrong and you're right.

"Predicting McPawsitive to make halftime adjustments?"

klwillis, I have no doubt I will regret writing that McFatty will make adjustments.

Intern Tim, you should ask her about that.
