Lance Stephenson is on a mission.
The 6-foot-5 Stephenson dropped 46 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists as Lincoln downed Transit Tech 91-67 Thursday in the Brooklyn Borough semifinals.
Maryland-bound forward James Padgett added 14 points and 8 rebounds and St. Francis commit Darwin "Buddha" Ellis tallied 10 points and 12 assists.
Lincoln (15-will face Thomas Jefferson, a 70-62 winner over Boys Girls, in Sunday's 7 p.m. championship game at Long Island University.
Stephenson has now scored 96 points in his last two games, including a 50-point outburst Tuesday against FDR in front of Maryland coach Gary Williams. Ironically, Williams is facing increasing scrutiny for his recruiting failures.
Stephenson will make an official visit to Kansas for the Jayhawks' Feb. 21 game with Nebraska, according to two sources close to the situation.
"Yes," one source said.
The 6-foot-5 Stephenson is the No. 1 player in the Class of 2009 according to Hoop Scoop and No. 9 according to Rivals.
Kansas head coach Bill Self attended Lincoln's ESPN game with Duncanville (Texas) earlier this year and sat courtside.
Self and Kansas assistant Joe Dooley also had an in-home visit with the Stephensons last fall and tried to impress upon Stephenson that he could help the Jayhawks if he committed to being coached.
"We definitely plan to visit Kansas," Lance Stephenson Sr. told me previously. "Coach Self talked about how secluded it is, and how the college rules the town."
Stephenson now says St. John's, Kansas, Maryland and USC are at the top of his list and recently told me he could announce after the PSAL championship at Madison Square Garden on March 21, assuming Lincoln makes it that far.
"Hopefully when I win the city championship - hopefully we get there - I'll name right after that," Stephenson said last week. The Railsplitters are the three-time defending PSAL AA champions.
The Railsplitters have a busy weekend ahead, potentially with four games in four days, beginning with today's tilt against Transit Tech.
On Friday Lincoln meets Dexter Strickland and St. Patrick in the Nike Super 6 at Fordham, a game that will be televised on ESPN2. On Saturday Lincoln faces Westchester (Ca.) in the Primetime Shootout.
The PSAL playoffs don't begin until Feb. 24, meaning Stephenson would have a window to take the visit.
That snubb rubbed him the right way/wrong way if you have to play against him. He's on %@#+ right now, I'd actually pay to see his next game. He's going for damn near 50 from here on out

Raising Arizona?
By Yoni Cohen on Fri Feb 13, 2009 at 10:46:38 AM EST
Don't believe the hype.
Arizona has yet to earn an at large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Yes, the Wildcats are currently on the right side of the bubble. If Selection Sunday were today, Arizona's six game winning streak and non-conferencevictories over Kansas and Gonzaga would send the Wildcats dancing.
But, no, Arizona's bid is far from certain. All six of the Wildcats' remaining regular season games are difficult -- and three of the Wildcats'next four are simply brutal. On Saturday, Arizona hosts UCLA. The following two Sundays, Arizona travels to the Pac-10's other two standard-bearers,Arizona State and Washington. The always dangerous Bruins crushed Arizona last month. After losing to Arizona State in Tempe, Ben Howland will have UCLA firedup and ready to go against Russ Pennell & Co. in Tucson. In the hunt for a regular season Pac-10 crown, the Sun Devils and the Huskies will also be ontheir best behavior against the Wildcats.
The easier three of Arizona's remaining regular season games are also far from gimmes. Between trips to Tempe and Seattle, Arizona visits Pullman. Finally,Arizona ends its regular season with a homestand against Cal and Stanford. Though the Wildcats should triumph over the struggling Cougars, nothing isguaranteed. Washington State earlier won at Arizona State. The Wildcats must also play well against the Golden Bears and Cardinal. Cal and Stanford both beatArizona by double-digits in early January.
The Wildcats' schedule suggests that the rest of the way, Arizona will go at best 4-2, which would be enough for a 25th consecutive NCAA Tournament. Asshould 3-3, with or even without another win in the Pac-10 Tournament. But a very possible 2-4 finish -- which KenPom.com predicts -- would likely relegate theWildcats to the NIT.

I know this pic doesn't really show it well... But this chick got some hips on her. I peeped her last week against Michigan when Thabeet stomped onDyson's chest and she came out to help him to the back. And she also came out to help him when he hurt his knee this past week against Syracuse... Bothtimes I saw her, I did a double take. What do y'all think? Am I reaching??
Photo caption had her name as Kaitlin Kelly
edit:
I caught this on SC
P.S. Cadillac, no action shots in that abomination of a game y'all played.

This is the 2nd time i've watched him and he looks nothing like a program changer. I know they playing one of the best teams in the nation but still hecould do better.
This dude on Lincoln just got blocked something filthy on a dunk attempt.

he looks average to me... take away his size and i don't see much actual skill. granted, it's one game, but i'm completely underwhelmed with him.

I was somewhat impressed by him when I saw him play against Duncanville in Dallas. He looked really average (maybe even below average) in thefirst half, then came out and dominated in the second half. If he would have played the first half the same way he played the second, I probably would havebeen a lot more impressed.

[/h2][h2]Holmes Twins Pull a Fast One[/h2] By Adam Himmelsbach
LEXINGTON, Va. - I think one of the worst parts about being a twin would be the inevitable questions about being a twin.
"Do you dress alike?"
"Has your twin ever taken a test for you?"
"Did you ever go out with someone who didn't know you had a twin, excuse yourself to the bathroom, then have your twin jump out from under atable?"
Maybe that last one is a stretch. Anyway, identical twins Chavis and Travis Holmes have played a key role in the revival of the Virginia MilitaryInstitute's basketball team, and I admit that during a recent interview, I asked a few questions like the ones above.
Chavis made it very clear the brothers never tried to fool their girlfriends, but he revealed a different kind of subterfuge.
"When we played Richmond," Chavis said, "we did a little switcheroonie."
In that Dec. 31 game, Chavis had missed three free-throws in a row early in the first half, and Travis could seethat his brother was struggling. So the next time Chavis was fouled, Travis had an idea.
"He just walked up to me like, Man, let me shoot these," Chavis said. "So I just lethim."
Travis made both free-throws, and the Keydets went on to win, 73-70. The twins said theirparents were the only people who noticed the switch.

Lance's drive is paralell to no other player in his class. It looks more likely that he won't actually go to St. Johns. I'm thinking eitherMaryland or Kansas will end up with him.
