The Orangemen looked very incompetent against Louie C's
Redmen. They missed almost all their chippies and the Pearl seemed
to force things that weren't there too often. Even so, they lost by
5 points. St. John's looked pretty good though. Syracuse's Greek
Center, Rony "I'm an American" Seikaly looked VERY impressive. I think
he's a frosh so he's going to be one of the top NBA picks in a few years.
It's too bad he's with Jim "I couldn't develop a center if my life
depended on it" Boeheim.
Look for Louisville to kick the Metro Conference's ass next year.
Denny Crum's streak of 20 win seasons is going out the window this year
due a cruel amount of injuries amongst the Cards. Milt Wagner, their all-
American shooting guard was out all season with a broken foot and their
number one draft pick screwed up his knee so no go for him either. He's
a 6'2" guard who averaged 44 points per game for a Jersey high school
so I'm sure he'll be deadly with Milt at his side. Most of their big men
are coming back.
There is no way St. John's will win the NCAAs. Louie will be
wearing that sweater in front of the TV while the finals are going on.
Oklahoma looks tough. Bobby Knight's a geek. Larry is still god.
P.S. Larry Bird recently said in the Sporting News that when he's hot
he feels Jesus himself can't stop him. Will children stop buying
his records now?
