Alabama just scored before I could post this-Roll Tide! I know this has nothing to do with college basketball but even though we don't have a football team isn't it great to be able to pull for whatever college football team we like? (Photo credits: Stephanie)

Turnovers, Turnovers, But Didn't Rollover

Louisville imposed their will on the College of Charleston tonight winning 80 to 38. Louisville's bread & butter is to cause turnovers (averaging 21 TOs a game) and to score on these defensive efforts, which they did, causing 27 turnovers by the Cougars tonight, defeating the College by 42 points.
Cougs didn't roll over
Baru had 16 points & 14 boards leading the Cougars as they continued to fight despite the deficit and the loss of Senior Olympian (& point guard) Andrew Lawrence who turned his ankle in the 2nd half. Fight On Cougs!

In-Game Update-Cougs lead 37 to Louisville 33!

Sure the Cardinals are 10-0 and ranked 4th in the country but the College of Charleston Cougars are fearless. It helps that Louisville are inept at dunking and lay-ups.
That being said, I feel like not a lot of calls are going our way which was just explained by Melveeta as "Basketball politics: Refs probably paid off by Vegas and the Petino crime syndicate".
Also, Wideman might be sick or dream-walking; either way, we need him to get back to his normal aggressive game, pulling down more boards! Cougs keep up the pressure and chew up the Cardinals!

Anthony Johnson Crushed by Benching!

From the NBA Fan House: Article by Tim Povtak

ORLANDO -- Magic journeyman Anthony Johnson has been in the NBA 12 years, a former second-round pick from the obscure College of Charleston. He has scratched and clawed every step of the way, bouncing through 10 different teams with stops in the Development League and free agent summer camps in between.

He has had 10-day contracts and minimum wage contracts, never far from being outside looking in. He has been traded more than once for a cup of coffee and future consideration. Nothing has come easy.

It's why he thought this NBA Finals was going to be the highlight, the crowning moment of his career, coming on the heels of his most consistent, most satisfying season.

Instead, it was turned into the biggest disappointment of his life.

"This is the toughest thing that's ever happened to me,'' Johnson said Saturday afternoon. "I've dealt with a lot of stuff through the years, but to help my team get to the Finals, the biggest stage in basketball, and then get told you're not going to play, that has been very, very difficult.''

The Magic are trailing the Lakers 3-1, on the verge of elimination Sunday in Game 5. It is eating at Johnson because he was rendered helpless by the Magic decision to bring back Jameer Nelson for the Finals – essentially benching Johnson -- after being out for four months with a shoulder injury. It's a decision that is haunting the Magic because their play at point guard has been erratic, but it's haunting Johnson even more."

He (Nelson) looks like a guy who is a little rusty, but that's to be expected. He's doing the best he can after being away. He's a scorer, a shooter and the shoulder is very important,'' Johnson said. "From the sideline, you think on every possession, what you might be doing differently, but the truth of the matter is, I'm not out there. It is what it is.''

Johnson played 80 games during the season, first as a backup to Nelson and then as the backup to Rafer Alston, always providing the stabilizing force of a well-seasoned veteran. He averaged 18.5 minutes, 5.3 points and 2.5 assists. In the first three rounds of the playoffs, behind Alston, he averaged 14.7 points, 4.3 points and 2.1 assists.

He has not played in the Finals.

Johnson, 34, actually has more Finals experience than anyone on the Magic roster. He was a backup to Jason Kidd in New Jersey when the Nets lost in the Finals both in 2002 and 2003, although his role was minimal.

"I was looking forward to having a more prominent role this time, having my play help determine whether we won or lost,'' he said. "I was really looking forward to that. It's why you work so hard in the summers and during the season. This has been tough.''

Although Johnson was probably thinking it, he wouldn't say that he would have made a difference in this series. After all, neither Alston nor Nelson have played particularly well. They have combined to hit just two of 16 3-point shots. They are averaging only 3 and 2.5 assists respectively. Coach Stan Van Gundy seems to have lost confidence in both of them.

Although he saw it coming in the days leading up to the Finals, he wasn't told definitively until the morning of Game 1 that he was losing his role to Nelson. No real explanation was given.

"I guess I would have liked to know more of the reason why,'' he said. "But maybe I'm not owed a reason or explanation. That's just part of the business. It's still tough.''
