Comments on: Huskies-Cards http://www.bigeasthoops.com/2008/01/28/huskies-cards-2/ Bloggin' Big East basketball since way back (2006). Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:04:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Dan'l B http://www.bigeasthoops.com/2008/01/28/huskies-cards-2/#comment-12057 Wed, 30 Jan 2008 14:05:04 +0000 http://www.bigeasthoops.com/2008/01/28/huskies-cards-2/#comment-12057 A certain unnamed writer here and I have argued for 15 years about soccer. I of course have always loved the Beautiful Game. Kudos to him for conceding that debate by proposing a fantasy European Football League last fall. Little sports nugget of the day: if you're up at 6AM (like me) Saturday and Sunday mornings, when you've had your fill of SportsCenter, try out Fox Soccer Channel and GolTV, if they're available. By 9 EST, it's live games for the day in season. Sports review gives me tired head in minutes; I'll take live games anytime I can. Well, UConn should be thankful for the world's most popular game. Thabeet may have a long way to go with his hands, but its those feet that dominate on defense and translate to so much potential as an overall player.

It was kind of funny before the game monday night. The Huskies were out doing their shoot-around before the game and Thabeet was playing around with the ball up at the half court line like a soccer player. Bouncing it from his feet to his head. I remember pointing that out to Coach O at the time and said no wonder he can't catch he still thinks he's playing soccer. Well I guess he's been practicing with his hands now. Not only has he learned to catch the ball but he actually has some good moves. That one basket he made from behind the hoop was very athelitic. http://www.courant.com/sports/ It's the fifth picture in the series.

When he caught that alley-oop and dunked it, I had to pinch myself to make sure it really was happening. Somewhere, Thabeet learned how to catch.
