why not a thread about Omar? The man has knocked down his threes given the opportunity unlike others. This year's surprise along with Greg's immediate success. GO OMAR!

where are we with the irony button thingy?  (Sorry admins. I know that's against the rules, but I couldn't resist. You can delete my post, but I hope you can understand I had to do it.) |

Thanks, Boz. I was worried we were under some sort of irony blackout.

I can't believe this post made it to 2 pages. That said - yes Omar has been a nice surprise - but for a "pure shooter" he has missed a lot of 3 balls too.

We have more than our share of 3-point specialists with Omar, Nikita, and Sims to some degree. Kidding aside, keep working hard, guys.

I just wish Vaughn would hurl up a few more threes each game. I think he's gotten rim or backboard on at least 60% of them.

Why can't we post pics, by the way? Can the servers not handle it? I'm pretty sure nobody here is using dial up anymore so page loading shouldn't be a problem . . . |

You have to change that to I'm pretty sure nobody worthwhile here I don't get the Rush reference, but I can't view the link here at work since I am on slow dial up. Maybe it will be evident when I view the link from home. ;D ;D |

I think he chucked one up in the 2nd half in Hartford (when the lead was closer to 3 than 17). I turned to the '92 classmate sitting next to me and said that I hoped he never took another 3 for the remainder of his career at Georgetown. I take it back now, but meant it in the heat of the moment. |

According to his senior season's Hoya Basketball Preview, Ronnie Thompson was an in-bound specialist. Not kidding... This is also very funny. One of my favorite memories of Alonzo was one year at the BET (probably 91 or 92) - we were sitting in one of the first rows of the sudent section behind the basket. Ronnie was inbounding the ball and Alonzo was fighting for position under the basket waiting to receive the inbounds pass. While Ronnie pondered when and to whom to inbound the ball, Alonzo said to him (direct quote): "Jesus christ, Ronnie, cut the sh*t and pass me the f*ing ball" Priceless. I love Alonzo Mourning. |
