Good stuff JL. Thanks for all of this info and keeping the thread going.
No problem! With everybody busy, I've been trying my best. It sucks that Jimmy hasn't been around for a long while. Does anybody know where he's been? I know he's got a newborn, but I still miss him being on the forums!
Also, there are plenty of "controversial" black players that they could have made a documentary about as well. Like the brash Fab Five from Michigan for instance.. oh wait, they did, and were portrayed as the rebellious youths (good guys) who forever changed college basketball, with only those two evil teams from North Carolina beating them in the National Championship game.
In an awesome game to watch, Lafayette is headed back to the Big Dance after beating American 65-63!! The game was very close, and featured 9 out of 10 white starters, with the Leopards featuring an all-white lineup and subs. Lafayette has a dynamic point guard in sophomore Nick Linder. The quick guard drove through the Eagles' defense multiple times, including what turned out to be the clinching basket with about 25 seconds left. Linder finished with 25 points and Senior forward Seth Hinrichs finished with 16.
American played their starting five for all but 30 seconds or so of the game, and were led by Marko Vasic's 15 points and 10 boards, with Charlie Jones chipping in 14.
Also of note, Marquette absolutely demolished Seton Hall tonight. Matt Carlino put the Golden Eagles on his back, scoring a game-high 26 points (including 8/12 from behind the arc!!). Luke Fischer had himself a nice game as well, with 14 points and 7 boards.
Joey King had a game-high 20 points for the Golden Gophers of Minnesota as they beat Rutgers in the Big Ten tournament.
Looking through some scores, it looks like Fordham's Christian Sengfelder had a game-high 27 points as they beat George Mason.
