Root for the University of Arizona Wildcats.They have two whites in the starting lineup and they are both the stars of the team.Radmenovic and Budinger.

Chase Budinger has the potential to be a player similar to Lebron James at the next level.He is that good.Chase is only a freshman but would be a top 5 pick in the first round of the nba draft already.He also has a 44 inch vertical jump!

Are we going to keep track of the great white teams playing mediocre blacks? If so, Duke is on ESPN now playing all black Kent St. Dukies up 33-27 in the first half.

Washington dominated LSU tonight..and it was summed up after Hawes scored 6 consecutive points, and on the way back down the court says to a black LSU player: "You can't stop me, let's go..." He's got some swagger! Washington won 88-72.

From AP story:

Hawes, Washington's heralded freshman center, dominated Davis, LSU's
preseason All-American, with season highs of 23 points and 12 rebounds
to lead the 17th-ranked Huskies to an 88-72 runaway victory over the
12th-ranked Tigers on Wednesday night.

"Man, games like that are so much fun. That's why you sign up to do
this," a beaming, giddy Hawes said following his nationally televised
breakout game. "I mean, if I'm correct, Davis was a first-team All-
American.

"These are the matchups you live for."

Jon Brockman added 19 points, 14 rebounds and relentless banging of
Davis for Washington (9-1), which won its 26th consecutive
nonconference home game while hosting an SEC team for the first time
since 1985. The Huskies also erased all doubts from a humbling, 20-
point loss at No. 22 Gonzaga on Dec. 9 in their only other game against a
ranked team this season.

"Our front line, I hate to brag on them, but they were pretty impressive,"
Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar said, smiling ...

(Hawes) was larger than his 7-foot frame. He also belied it. He was 10-
for-16 from the field while unfurling a dazzling array of hook shots and
spinners, plus guard-like jumpers and fadeaways. Most came against the
bewildered Davis.

When Hawes spun to the baseline and hit a hook over Davis with his right
hand to give Washington a 29-14 lead 11 minutes in, Davis stood,
momentarily stunned. He then shook his head at his younger challenger.
And when Hawes swished a fadeaway from 18 feet over Davis early in the
second half to maintain Washington's 14-point halftime lead, Davis
smiled at Hawes. Hawes returned the grin.

"He did some things I didn't think he could do," Davis said.

Hawes then made consecutive jumpers with Magnum Rolle's hand in his
face at the top of the key. They put Washington ahead 57-43 with 17 1/2
minutes left.

After the second one, Hawes got into Rolle's face at the other end and
twice told him, "You can't guard me!"

"That's a little bit of my 'old' personality coming out. Sometimes, you
can't control it," Hawes said sheepishly, his ruddy face turning red.

Hawes has a VERY nice inside game and he can also hit from the area right inside the 3 point line so he is very difficult to defend. Brockman worked his as off and had a couple of nice offensive rebounds and putbacks. Glen Davis had no answer for either, and now it appears Hawes is on the ESPN radard which should bring him a lot of good exposure.

Tonight there will be a "whitey vs. whitey" game between the 2 programs we follow most: Gonzaga and Duke. Who does everyone like? Who should we be rooting for?

i stayed up late to watch this game, because i hadn't watched UW live, just read news reports and game recaps. it looked like i picked a good game to watch!

Hawes is amazingly skilled, especially at his age. he is unreal! the ability to face-up or post up and go over either shoulder was incredible. and he has a nasty streak, too! nice.

i was nearly as impressed with Jon Brockman! he completely shut down "Big Baby" Davis, while putting up huge numbers himself. Jon scored 19 and snared 14 boards, including 9 on the offensive end! and he wasn't intimidated at all by the physical play of LSU. rather, he revelled in it!

at one point, Brockman's defense, along with the help of Hawes and others, held Davis scoreless from the 9:20 mark remaining in the first half until 7:56 left in the second. wow!

UW frequently had 4 white guys on the court at a time, and judging from past box scores and the performance of this game, it is the erratic, self-absorbed play of black perimiter players dentmon, pondexter, and oliver that have been holding back the play of the Huskies.
