  @HighEliteMajor re: “take Perry out of the middle”. He was pretty ineffective today and don’t know if it’s because of length of inside players on Brazil, obviously, he did well against the large Turkey players, but wonder if we won’t be hurting this year even with him when we go up against L&A teams. In my mind, Mickelson needs to get more PT with the energy he brings. That might bring down some of the careless plays he makes from time to time, but he does lots of little things that help keep the ball alive. Obviously, if one of the young ones come on strong, then it’s a different story.

  @JayHawkFanToo If anyone is using Tivo and you have it on your lan then you can move it to your computer using Tivo desktop and then convert from Tivo format to one that can be uploaded. The file is huge if you are using HD.

  @tundrahok Agreed. Only die hard basketball fans even know about this event, so there really is not a lot of pressure. The main benefit is the opportunity to get some actual game practice and get a jump on the competition; the 24 second shot clock will help get the team prepared for the upcomimg season. If KU were to win, I am sure the AD will milk it for a while but otherwise no big deal.

  @jaybate-1.0 My thoughts exactly on the twins, albeit a bit more eloquent than I would have been able to. I too tend not to believe most things out of the entertainment media. Sure, there probly is some truth to it, it is most certainly not the whole truth. “We cant handle the truth!” Ok I’ll stop now.

  @drgnslayr On the other hand, they seem to play much better when they are in the same team…

  Seriously, the bigger deal here that the busted schnozola is the neck on Carlton. Carlton was a pencil necked geek last basketball season based on the feeds showing him doing great things with the ball. Look a the Hudy-neck on the that big fellah now!!! They may have broken his sniffer, but that neck can bow up and it suggests he soon will be able to deliver a world of hurt. Go, Carlton, go!!!

  @Lulufulu Talked to Frank Boal today-he’s taking Jack’s editor job. Told me Jack is 73. Been on tv 50 years. I posted on another thread he must have no life & a humongous friggin ego. Has been living on formaldehyde IV’s & Grecian 44 cocktails for the past 20 years. Don’t let the door hit ya Jack…

  …and speaking of Wayne Selden. Self had better have his okie butt at BigWayne’s lotto-night table, as Selden has been a good soldier from Day 1, basically a McD-level glue man–but “lotto-night table” implies that Selden has a BIG year. A few 25+ ppg outings, maybe even a few 30+ppg outings. Because, to me, guys that are top30 talent, especially the Mickey Ds that stay 2 or 3 years, are the absolute BEST for Self’s system. High skill, high hops, high talent. Guys like Rush, Chalmers, Sherron, Cole, Shady. (Notice every one of those guys were part of a Final Four run). Now it is Ellis and Selden’s turn. THIS is the exact pipeline we need. The top30 guys that stay 2-4yrs. Chemistry and experience.

  All this talk about Coleby, Chukwu, Bragg, Diallo, etc…is a perfect opportunity to highlight that Self is building/rebuilding what he’s always tried to do regarding his bigs, and what type of play from them he demands. *D.Manning or not, Self is doing what he’s always done…before/during/after Danny Manning. This is Self’s same old philosophy, consistently appearing–yet again…*Tough, inside-based, high-percentage play. After all, it’s exactly what was missing vs Stanford (once Tarik fouled out), and also what was missing vs. OuchitaState…

  @oldhwkfan Yes, that rule was lifted by it does not go into effect until the start of the new season. The game was not NCAA sanctioned so it would not apply anyway. I got some information about FIBA rules but as I mentioned, nothing conclusive so am not 100 %sure one way or the other. I do know that during warmup players try take it easy before the game and even in the NBA I just don’t see dunking during warmups. I do know that some players like to dunk before/during practice warmups; LeBron is known for trying some extreme dunks during this time but not during game warmups.
