Around SBN: 2012 Budweiser Shootout Entry List Released

Luke Winn is a 9 year-old moron

So I was over at SI's page today, begrudginly reviewing their Power Rankings for college basketball, and came upon this gem from Luke Winn:


Forgive me if I'm already thinking about next year in L.A. college hoops. Not that the scene right now is lacking; it's just a little imbalanced, what with the Bruins in the top five and USC in the middle of the Pac-10. The 2007-08, season, however, is going to serve as a showcase for arguably the nation's two best freshmen. Oregon-bred big man Kevin Love, whom coach Ben Howland called "the best outlet passer I've seen at any level since Bill Walton," will be starting in Westwood -- and No. 1 overall prospect O.J. Mayo, a combo guard who's the latest in the LeBron-Oden line of super-hyped prospects, will be playing for the Trojans. Mayo advisor Rodney Guillory told the L.A. Times, "He wanted to ink himself as the individual that changed USC basketball forever, like Patrick Ewing at Georgetown or Sean Elliott at Arizona."

Uh, what the hell?  You rank UCLA #3 and you spend HALF THE FREAKIN' ARTICLE TALKING UP USC BASKETBALL?!  What the hell is wrong with you?  If you're going to spend some time talking down UCLA basketball, at least do it with something related to this year, like our shaky 3-pt defense, or our struggles at the free-throw line.

BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, at least come in with something that applies at least a little bit.  Talking about how next year's going to be great for USC while ostensibly supposed to be doing some critiquing/analysis of UCLA basketball is not only asinine, it's damn insulting.

And comparing USC to UCLA in terms of basketball just makes my skin want to crawl.  USC hasn't done jack in basketball yet and already Winnie's on their jock.  Imagine if they happen to win something like 10 games next year.

Ugh.

Heh
His "analysis" of the other teams is all crap anyway, so I wasn't surprised when he didn't do his job properly when it came to us. But yes, he needs to get that southern cal shit out of our box. How the hell did an incompetent turd like this land a job?

What is really sad is . . .
that media experts expect the day when USC basketball will rival UCLA basketball, but never expect the day when UCLA football will rival USC basketball.

IN basketball, USC is a "sleeping giant" while UCLA is a giant.

If football, UCLA is a "joke, creme-puff, basketball school", and USC is a giant.

But if we had a coach . . .
