VMI beat kentucky and dropped 113 on them.

I'm saying, Syl's debut is only one (fast-paced) game.  In the Kentucky game, Jodie Meeks doubled his previous career high.  He's not twice as good as he was last year.  And I don't know what Gillispie does early season in with his Kentucky squad, Gardner-Webb and now this?  Just strange losses.  It's a good game and a win for Virginia, but take it with a grain of salt.

at this point i would take a grain of salt for this program. when was the last time a freshman scored 28 points in any game for SJU?

When was the last time ANYONE scored 28 points?!  Actually... no, really, besides Mase last year, when was the last time a player put up 28, 30, or so points?  I can't remember.  Was it Hill?  Or do we have to go back to Hatten?

Apparently, Lamont Hamilton vs. Columbia in '06-'07.  So I am entirely wrong.  The last few years have been a low-scoring haze for this observer.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP)—Sylven Landesberg nailed a layup with 13 seconds left and sank a free throw six seconds later to seal Virginia’s 77-75 victory over South Florida on Wednesday night.

Landesberg finished with 21 points for the Cavaliers (2-0), and Jamil Tucker added 15 points and a team-high seven rebounds in the win. Tucker also went 2-for-3 from behind the arc.

Dominique Jones scored a game-high 23 for the Bulls (1-1), and Jesus

i'm surprised he's playing this well.  i knew he'd be good but not this good.

Well they only beat USF by two at home.  I'm guessing that means they don't have many other options.

I'm guessing that means we're a better team than Virginia.
Before we sweat Landesberg for dropping 21 on USF, remember that our freshman blew them out of the building last year.

Jesus plays for USF?? How many did he drop? The Big East is screwed if the Almighty starts playing in sneakers instead of Birkenstocks.

Virginia has been sittin back and lettin Singletary carry them for a while.  It's just natural that those guys let somebody else take all the shots.

Willie Shaw against Hofstra (December 16, 2000).
