The final score might not tell the real story of how poorly the Bears played in this game.

That was a pretty blatant foul by Davis there on Jones. The refs got him close to fouling out, but they won't call that last foul.

As good as Davis has been, it was eye opening how easily PJ3 could back him down in the post. I suspect that at least in the first few years in the NBA this is going to be the model for playing against Davis- go right at him. He was dominant on any weakside penetration today though and it changed the game.

+1

Until he adds weight, he's going to be an easy player to back down. He still has length so his shot blocking won't drop off as significantly as his scoring in the early stages of his NBA career.

Imagine how hyped this guy would have been if Baylor won :lol:

Without Marshall its kinda hard tho. But the last cats/unc game was epic...hopefully unc survives this one thru and marshall can play in final four.

There is something to this bias stuff. Barkley the moron, I did not like him before this, said the Raptors can not beat Kentucky but the Bobcats may be able too. What is up with so many dumb people being rewarded for it? It is so frustrating.

Barkley is an idiot so I really do not care what he says. It is annoying that people actually listen to his crap though.

yeah it's the same thing he said before. He included the Bobcats this time, don't know why he doesn't mention worse teams like the Wizards or Hornets

It's funny though, because several years back when Demar was in the dunk contest, Barkley said that we have lots of talent and cap space to be a great team in years to come. Barkley has a tendency to bandwagon any "good" things in the world of basketball.
