A Few B-Ball Things

Filed under: Uncategorized — Chas @ 8:12 am

Last year, Joe Starkey defefended Carl Krauser after the Oklahoma St. game. He reprises the defense once more. I know most of the complaints I read or get about Krauser tends to be about his turnovers. I find it a bit misleading considering how much he handled the ball and the fact that Pitt as a team was about average in turnovers (#169 out of 330).

Krauser seems to create love or hate feelings. I’m on the love side, but his game is still nowhere near ready for the NBA.

Now, regarding the Trib article where they were looking for Pitt fans rooting for WVU? The results are rather shallow.

Louisville Coach Rick Pitino briefly talks about going to the Big East next year.

Some Football Notes

Since I haven’t posted like spring practice is the most important thing, so here’s a contrary view.

I’m here to tell you spring practice is more important than any practice outside of the regular season. More important than the utterly useless bowl week practices. And — believe it or not — more important than fall camp.

“Spring practice is critical,” N.C. State coach Chuck Amato says, “because summer is right after it.”

Translation: There is no bigger motivating factor than four months of wondering how hard the guy ahead of or behind you on the depth chart is working. A month of fall camp can’t make up for 16 weeks of preparation.

There are other reasons spring practice is important — a new staff implementing its systems, young players getting used to more prominent roles — but the lure of playing time remains the No. 1 factor.

Fair enough.

The Big East, apparently deciding not to wait until May to make it official, now announced that instant replay will be implemented.

Finally, since it is the offseason, there is mostly speculative pieces. How about Tyler Palko included in this list of the top 10 Heisman candidates.
