And not because they thumped the best of the Big 10 tonight. Mostly because JJ Redick said so. In between shooting warm ups at TD Banknorth Monday night, the NCAA all time 3-Point King took some time to chat up a DC informant. After predicting a Sweet 16 for his alma mater, JJ declared this year's champs would be conference rival UNC. Why? Because they are just too damn good.
And that W at Ford Field tonight didn't look so bad either. Ty Lawson is the real deal. Two weeks into his NBA rookie season most people will be thinking Rajon who? I think it is cute that guys like Dicky V are putting Lawson and Stef Curry in the category of best point guards in college right now but let's get serious. Curry will make a nice name for himself in Barcelona or Athens. Lawson will average a triple double over his entire career.
One other take away from the MSU/UNC tilt - how terrible is it watching hoops at Ford Field? I know we've seen regional finals and other big games there in the past but I'm not looking forward to watching the Final 4 there come April.
