It's an impressive dunk, though the goon center barely seemed to even try to defend it.

But this is one of those weird things that should never happen, hence the mechanics don't have any means of catching it - the entire point of mechanics is to try to ensure that the officials are NOT looking at parts of the court that don't matter.

He might have seen something out of his peripheral, but he isn't going to take his eyes of the play.

:yes:

I would much rather have the ref's full concentration on the stuff he is supposed to notice.

Wyoming beat a good Colorado team 56-33 (yes, Colorado only scored 33...9 in the second half).  It was an impressive win and right now Wyoming looks darn good on defense and capable on offense.

I don't know if this will be a great year, but it could well be a darn good year for the Cowboys.

WVU dominated UCONN last night to win the Puerto Rico Tip-Off championship last night.  Kind of nice seeing them ranked for the first time in ages.

Baby Terps have their first real test against ASU tonight.  So much young talent came in this years' recruiting class, but their biggest impact player is sitting on the bench, losing a year of eligibility in transferring from GT.

They have no real man-child beast at center, and nobody with enough skills or experience to run the game a la Steve Blake.

Did you see 34 year old Steve Blake give the youngster the old Shake-and-Blake last night?

I just realized Texas is going to Kentucky on Dec 5th.  That should be fun.

Michigan had a decent win against a good, but very younger (even younger than Michigan) Oregon squad in the Legends classic in Brooklyn.  Oregon committed entirely to stopping the three, so Michigan only shot from behind the line 13 times.  However, Oregon left themselves open to the slashing attack on the hoop that is Michigan's preferred attack, and Michigan ended up with 23 of their 70 points on free-throw shooting.

Next up is a likely "good loss" to #12 Villanova tonight.  'Nova is too balanced for Michigan to hide its freshmen, and whoever on Michigan is having a bad night will get exploited.  Michigan doesn't have the depth yet to cover for someone having a bad night.

Wyoming is now 6-0 with a couple of decent wins over teams that went to the NCAAs last year.

So far the plan to win all the games this season is progressing at a good pace.

yeah UDub is 6-0 as well, though The toughest teams they have faced are Long Beach St and UTEP.
But have meetings with SDSU and Oklahoma coming up in non conference play.

Have excellent Point Guard in Williams-Goss, transfer from Fresno St. a 7-0 is breaking records for blocks for team already and Sean Kemp JR.  is playing more and more like his daddy.

Texas is 7-0.  They brutally beat down Texas-Arlington tonight in a typical Rick Barnes grinding mauling.  The final was 63-53.  I think Barnes was upset his team had to score so much to win, he dreams of a 1-0 game.

Wyoming won last night - they are now 7-0.  They beat Denver, run by former Princeton coach Joe Scott.  It was a slow game, but the 'Pokes won 68-42.

The Wyoming coach, a protege of Barnes, was mad that Wyoming had to score 68 points.

Arizona won last night, but I am not going to post that every time they win. Just assume they did until you hear differently.
