Amazing that that quiet image of Tim Duncan, Ben Moore, is second in career points. I did love his game.

[Hoofprint]

I never would have guessed that Bandoumel was that close to Davis in 3-pointers

[Charleston Pony]

Amazing that that quiet image of Tim Duncan, Ben Moore, is second in career points. I did love his game.

Actually Ben is 25th on the scoring list but he was a special talent. I think he and Sterling have the record for having played in the most number of games and/or have the most number of wins in their careers. Those guys were both 4 year players under Larry Brown

[shadowman]

Any word on Tristan? I assume it was just a minute management deal, they had him take off this game to be fresh for Temple and Memphis. Hopefully that is the case.

I have to say though, I do like when Young is in there, he is quick and with that long span, he can scrape the rafters and is really good at swatting those shots away.

Speaking of which, Michael Weathers has to be one of the best shot blockers for his size of all time. He can flat out soar, his vertical leap is incredible.

Go Ponies!

That one goal tending call on Young was bogus.
