Did That Really Happen Last Night?

LAHAINA, Hawaii -- Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun joked last week that he still didn't know all his players' names, much less how good they're going to be. After knocking out a heavyweight in a championship-caliber bout, he -- and everyone else, for that matter -- should know these young Huskies are for real.Trading blows in the first half and big shots in the second, Connecticut solidified its return to elite-program status by knocking off No. 2 Michigan State 70-67 in a physical Maui Invitational semifinal on Tuesday.  "We just showed the world we can play," said UConn's Kemba Walker, who scored 30 points and hit a key jumper with less than a minute left.

What is Kemba Walker? He's not a point guard, right? I hope not because I don't want my point man putting up 30 and 3 every night. Yeah, the 30 points are great but that's not a point guard's job and no team can afford that guy to average 38 minutes a night and still be breathing by January. I don't mean to take away from the big win last night but you gotta be fucking real for a second. It's game 4 of a long season. I was ready to write them off after the near loss to Wichita State so there's no way I'm getting excited over that win last night. Any team could have gone in on a neutral court and knocked off a sloppy Michigan State.
