Today’s Play of the Day comes from Seton Hall Men’s @ UConn last night.
First is a Seton Hall ATO play, perfectly executed at the end of the first half for a lay-up. The easy basket cut the UConn lead to 3.
I have not figured out how to take clips from ESPN360.com, but I am totally hooked on watching the games there. I can get in two games a day easy. Best part…. haven’t lost one yet!
Enjoy.

Simple, but true.

Epiphanny Prince
What started at Rutgers the last three years, had a couple month stop in Russia is now headed for Botas Spor, a team in Adana, Turkey – an American-friendly city near a United States military base about 90 minutes by airplane from Istanbul.
Epiphanny Prince began her professional playing career for Spartak Moscow and Head Coach Pokey Chatman.
I heard she had yet to play because owner Shabtai von Kalmanovic was working on her Russian pass port when tragedy struck. Piph is fortunate to land in Turkey. This could be a blessing in disguise for Prince. More playing time is on the horizon and that will give WNBA General Managers a more valuable body of work to assess her draft status.
The story does not elaborate on how the progress is going towards moving her family from their Brooklyn home. The focus of Piph’s journey has been reported as two-fold: 1.) Provide for her family and 2.) Prepare better for WNBA.
Let’s update this in a month and see how her progress is going.

Hmmmm. I don’t know Marion Jones. I never saw her play basketball. I’ve been told, she can play – or could in 1994. 15 years ago. Richie Adubato brought up the idea of inviting her to training camp in New York, it never went anywhere.
It will be interesting to see where this goes.
Alex Rodriguez and others played after admitting to steroid use. She was held accountable and paid her price. She should be allowed, if her skill level and abilities (at 34) can get it done. Dan Hughes is a good man, good coach. He is respectful of the game and wouldn’t consider this to generate PR. He’s about winning games and doing it the right way.
Thoughts?…
