After the win tonight, there is no question that we are happy with him and the effort he gave to this team. First, lets give him props, however, with Lucas comin to town next year, is Doge the point guard of the future? He can't shoot, and Lucas can, i respect Doge, for he has helped us and rejuvinated us more than anyone could have this past year, but does he have a place on next year's team??? Cynically, i say no, but he is a good kid, and i hope he can contribute...thoughts????

Kevin Durant to have Jersey Retired

During Halftime of the Tech game, Kevin Durant will have his jersey retired. I know that this has always been a hot topic around here, considering that he only stayed here for one year. However, my freshman year on campus was the only year he was here, and watching him play and watching how effortlessly he would put up 30+ pts. a game will be one of my favorite basketball memories.

Add in the fact that he essentially swept every national player of the year award, and is excelling in the NBA, i think he deserves it. Thoughts?

I was at the game and unfortunately, or fortunately, from what i heard, they didnt show any replays of his injury. I was literally sick to my stomach when he was carted off the field, he was a very promising player at tight end and i hope he is ok. However, from someone who was watching the game from television, how does his injury look? Is it season ending, or is there any chance he can come back? If it is season ending what is our current situation at tight end behind him? Here's hoping to a speedy recovery for blaine.

I know we are all deeply saturated right now in the great season of college football, but i just ran across this on Texassports.com. Kenton Paulino is now an administrative assistant on Rick Barnes's staff after ending his career with the Austin Toro's. It is good to be able to see him start his coaching career at his alma mater. I am excited to see what he can bring to the team, and who could forget the shot against the West Virginia Pittsnogles in the sweet 16
