The Drubbing

The “John Cena lookalike” award to Chris Kramer from Purdue.

I wonder if Chris Kramer can bust out horrible rap lyrics.

The “sniper” award to Jermaine Dixon.  I think i saw the shooter in the upper deck, Jermaine.

The “Look its Enrico Pallazzo” award to the NCAA Refs.  So let me get this straight, i can hand check the hell out of someone out on the perimeter and draw easy offensive foul calls underneath the hoop?  There are more hand check fouls called in the NBA.  Don’t get me started on charging calls, either.  I have seen more no calls in high school ball than i have in the college game.  A defender can be standing underneath the basket and fall over on a cough, and the ref gets uber excited, does his two hop step and points like a NFL first down, “Charge”! Ridiculous, this is more like Euro soccer than it is basketball.

The “Dennis Green” Award goes to Tyler Hansbrough.  He was who we thought he was.  Tyler’s inept performance against an NBA caliber player (Blake Griffin), along with his attempted dunk, that ended up being 2 feet short, pretty much tells us all we need to know about his future in the NBA.  Tyler needs to improve his outside jump shot if he wants to be the considered the next poor man’s Eduardo Najera.
