i don't watch much college basketball, at least when my cats aren't involved. i'm particularly disinterested in these preconference games, games that are in many ways meaningless. [by meaningless, i mean that a maryland win over indiana or vice versa won't keep either team out of the ncaa tournament---by meaningless, i mean that the good team's championship hopes can't be dashed by a poor outing in november or december (that's why I love college football as is---in no other sport is every game, every quarter, so monumentally important...the iowa hawkeyes have played well for 47 out of 48 quarters...they're out)] but this indiana-maryland game was tremendous. a made half court shot---just after the buzzer. some schlub making his 1-of-2 when he needed it. tom coverdale. packed fieldhouse. dickie v, who i find tolerable. [give me raftery, i say!] i've loved watching the development of jeff newton...i remember watching him as a skinny freshman with no game but a lot of heart. his game's about a third of the way there. coverdale proved that he's the top white senior point guard in the country, by a nose over steve blake. but what a fun, fun game.
no other news. i'll watch more buckets tomorrow. cats in their biggest game of the season. woof. winston. jitim. jb. aj. d-squared. j-male. tj. i love this roster. woof.
