"Each coach was paired up with a middle school basketball player from Maui. The middle school player was given one practice shot at the free throw line, followed by three shots from the charity stripe. Each coach then stepped to the line and was given three shots, with no practice shots.

Thompson was paired up with eighth grader Emma Hanlon, who swished her third shot. Thompson, meanwhile, was the only coach to sink all three of his free throw attempts."

I'd say we've already won.

Good job, Coach. Set the example for the team.

On edit, whoops, wrong quote, but the idea was good. Foul shooting!!!

What it means: Both teams have plenty of reason for optimism. For Kansas, the win is meaningful, but not nearly as much as the means by which it was achieved -- through gorgeous, pass-heavy offense and solid help-oriented defense. It means just as much for Georgetown, if not more; after losing Austin Freeman and Chris Wright to graduation this spring, the Hoyas were picked to finish No. 10 by the Big East coaches this preseason. That prediction deserves serious revision.

-- Georgetown junior Hollis Thompson declared for the 2011 NBA draft, but withdrew before the deadline for underclassmen to return to college. It looks like it was a good move. Thompson wasn't really on the radar screens of NBA scouts before the move. Now he's getting a closer look and teams like what they see. Thompson had 14 points for the Hoyas on Monday night. He hit a couple of 3s and found his way to the basket on several plays. The 6-foot-8 small forward impressed the scouts who were there. "He's got a chance," one NBA scout said. "He can shoot the ball, he can put it on the floor and he's got good size for his position. I like him."
