Nike Hoop Summit 2009

April 16, 2009

This weekend I watched the Nike Hoop Summit All-Star Game 2009. Usually I avoid all-star games like the plague.

November 24, 2008

I watched the Duke-Michigan game last night Friday night.  Duke looks very good.  Obviously well coached, they can score inside and outside.  Gave the vaunted Michigan zone defense fits with their ball movement and the ability to knock down the three.  Also, very active on defense.  Michigan looks to be much improved over last year’s team.  [...]
