College basketball collisions

Two major collisions in college basketball last night. First up #2 UConn and their undefeated road record slammed head on into #10 Marquette and their undefeated home record. Unfortunately the casualty was Dominic James of Marquette whose season and career is now over after suffering a broken foot in the carnage. The Huskies restaked (fuck you dictionary.com that is TOO a word!) their claim to the meaningless #1 ranking with a 93-83 victory in a fun game to watch. Well, unless you're a Marquette fan. Or Dominic James, I guess.

Anyway, the other major collision last night was between Dave Neal of Maryland and Nolan Smith of Duke. In the video below, you'll see Smith running full tilt into a solid (but clean) screen, his head snapping back, and crumpling to the ground. While it is sad Smith was unable to return the game, I love how Coach K of Duke ran screaming to the officials about an illegal screen. Sorry Coach, but someone probably should have been warning Smith of the impending impact. If you watch the slow motion replay below, you'll see a natty pair of dress sneakers in the shot. Who was the closest Dukie to your player? YOU, asshole! Your poorly toupeed ass should have been screaming out a warning of the screen instead of bitching to the refs about your daughter's illegitimate children. Fuck you, the bitch told me she was on the pill!



Oh yeah, and Jim Calhoun becaume the 7th coach to reach 800 career wins, which is a big deal, I guess.
