When he asked the PXP guy if he had any Maui Gold yet today, I was on the edge of my seat to see where that was going... :lol2:

Yeah I caught that :lol2: PXP guy seemed stunned for a second!

I'm definitely watching tomorrow...wish Indiana was playing Vandy...but the Herbal One will be enough entertainment.

Johnny Jones at it again?

There was nothing good about Vandy/St John's. Well, Walton was in rare form so there was that...

 

Walton was a riot!

I love Bill Walton. A great reprieve from the tired act of Vitale. Bill makes me want to eat Cheetos and watch The Wall.

 

Simmons is a freak. Will be interesting to see what LSU becomes. I had no idea there was more help coming. Surround the best player in the country with some decent talent they could be a dangerous team, in spite of coaching.

Big win for Marquette. Simmons is outstanding, but lsu has a long way to go to be a top 25 team. They just aren't there as a team at the moment.

Go Warriers. Err Golden Eagles! :lol2:

Announcer Mark Jones called an assist a "dime" during this telecast. Thus, it appears that this word has made its way into mainstream usage. I know it's been around for a while. My question is, How did the word "dime" come to mean "assist"? What is the etymology of this use?

Dropping a dime on someone used to mean narcing on them, like putting a dime in a payphone and ratting them out. Not sure when it became an assist, but I know I've used it about 5,274 times in that form myself.

Thanks.

Arizona transfer Craig Victor will be a big boost on the interior at the semester break. Was a top 40 kid and #1 player in Louisiana out of high school. Keith Hornsby gives them a shooter with range (pun intended) to stretch the floor. Should be back in a couple weeks from injury...

 

These additions will really solidify LSU, Hornsby averaged 13.5 per game last year, including 17 in a tough loss to UK, and should compliment Simmons well, Bruce turned out some good athletes, as he had another son who ran track at the University of Oregon.
