NY,
If I remember correctly, Rivers really didn't guard Flynn exclusively until crunch time. The bulk of that game we were zoning, or we were trying to guard Flynn with Sapp, which didn't work out too well. Remember we still had Wallace that year and we were still going to play him 30 minutes plus. We went offense/defense down the stretch and Rivers did his job beautifully, coming up with stop after stop when it counted

You foolish mortal you dare talk to Bronxitos in anything other than hushed tones? Since you do not overstand let BX spell it out for you. From watching him play offense and his movements along with his body type one who is basketball educated such as myself can tell he is not going to be an effective defender. Dude, don't tell me you've seen DSR or Anrio or any of these recruits play defense, because we both know you haven't. You've watched highlight clips on youtube. You're no kind of scout. No offense to Daytona who is a good poster and knows his stuff, but I'll take stats (or STATS) over half remembered possessions from 4 years ago. If you're a consistently good defender, it shows up on the stat sheet. If you contested a tough three and it rimmed out a couple times in OT, well, that's all you did. |

Rivers did a great job of staying in front of Reynolds and Flynn on those late game possessions, but it was to our benefit that both of those guys were too selfish to pass the ball after they drove into traffic without getting any separation.
I think Jonathan Wallace was a good defender because he understood that basketball is 5 on 5, not one on one. Wallace overplayed on the perimeter to prevent open threes because he had interior defenders. Even though he couldn't stop a quick guard from driving, he knew how to position himself to steer the quick guards into Roy or Jeff or PE Jr. and then Jon would tip their panicky passes.
Guards missed a lot of shots against Wallace and Sapp because the team forced them to shoot contested two-point jumpers.

they had an NBA front line behind them. That may never happen again here.

Apparently just committed to Kansas. Wonder what this means, if anything, for Andrew White. Also, may not be true, but it's being put out there that he committed.

What's with Kansas getting all this mediocre talent?
