Around the Big East

[Ralph318!]

Spencer is gritty, talented, overachieves and a ball buster. He is one of four huge pieces missing from UConn this year. Have to admit that backcourt was tremendous at both ends of court while Clingan proved dominant in the Dance.

Cam Spencer has an amazing story, but it doesn’t compare to that of his brother Pat Spencer of the Golden State Warriors. Frank Isola on NBA radio told his story last week. If I remember correctly Pat Spencer was a 4 year lacrosse player at Northwestern? and is now playing regularly in the NBA.

While it does look like him it can’t be him because that guy jumps too high.

And not flopping

Agree, but being a nice kid has nothing to do with he has not met expectations this year and has been a big disappointment.

He’s averaging a career high in points, rebounds, assists, and blocks (double last year) while shooting 35.3% from three, 82.3% from the line, and 54% from two. You’re mad at that guy? That’s the guy you call Karabist all year. Yet you praise Vince if he remembers to wipe his ass after taking a dump.

 

[Jack Williams]

Karaban has had some rough patches this year but he’s been very solid for a couple weeks now. Honestly that little stretch he had in the second half against us at MSG might’ve been the spark that got him back on track

 

[dk423]

I'd argue Karaban was more impressive this year in that he was able to impact the game without shooting well.
