WOooooooooooOOOOOWWWWWWW...today was midnight madness...and i've been in my room studying...%+% man, %+%...Originally Posted by allen3xis
STORRS, Conn. - It's difficult to take much from Midnight Madness. However, here are some observations from my day spent up at UConn.
- It's going to be awfully difficult to keep freshman point guard Kemba Walker off the floor. Despite the fact that the team played a 10-minute intrasquad scrimmage, there's a reason why Walker looks as though he belongs. He's quick, gets into the lane and a three-guard lineup of him, A.J. Price and Jerome Dyson would be scary in transition.
- Hasheem Thabeet has added about seven pounds of muscle and is certainly oozing with confidence - especially on the offensive end. Thabeet has also opted to get rid of the braids.
- People have to remember that the 21-year-old Thabeet started playing basketball at the age of 15. He said he started playing because he was tall, but that he has grown to love it.
- Jim Calhoun looks much thinner after radiation this past summer to treat skin cancer.
- A.J. Price on his knee. ``If it was a game tonight, I'd be playing. I'm very close to 100 percent."
- Price on North Carolina being the clear-cut preseason No. 1 team: ``They have a good team and deserve everything they're getting now. As far as them being number one now, it's not how you start, it's how you finish."
- Adrien on the Tar Heels: ``I'd rather be under the radar."
- Adrien has a chance to become the first player under Calhoun to grab 1,000 career rebounds. He needs 232 this season. ``He's a stud," Calhoun said.
- Price also said he welcomes the opportunity to play off the ball with freshman Walker. ``He gives us something we didn't have last year - another point guard. If we need more scoring, I can slide to the two and we won't miss a beat."
- Calhoun said he would have rather been watching the Boise State football team.
- One insignificant footnote: Jerome Dyson edged out Walker and Gavin Edwards to win the Slam Dunk Contest.
