As a student, can't he go to the Rec Center?
Did we move up a seed?

Hearing we're up to the 2 line.
Of the Big East tourney maybe.
denverMU has us only losing twice. Both times to ND.
Didn't even know this was going on.
Rest assured every NCAA selection committee member is tracking these - we better have won by at least 20 or it will hurt MU's seed.

Getting antsy with only 14 months left till he makes his D1 debut.
How'd Michael Beasley look?
Yep--he's gotta a lotta time to work on that shot and that position and that muscle and those hops and that approach. So he's in a good spot.

I heard he had about 54 rebounds. Complete monster!

I have to admit, following him on twitter, I have not been all that sad to see him go.

Michael Beasley still holds the record for "most points scored (60) by a Washington DC area freshman, playing for a school in the sunflower state with purple colors, in late october, at a practice facility named for a former Jesuit school basketball coach, against that same school in which that coach one a national title with, during a media blacked out scrimmage"

First ever man to score 60 points and 50 rebounds
Beasley was a beast in college. Many in Chicago thought the Bulls should take him rather than Rose with the first overall pick. Large appetite for weed, once he got his money he didn't seem to give a crap.
We one a title in '77.

"Many," sure--Chicago is a large city. But the lion's share wanted Rose. No question.

Yeah, I'd day the sentiment was overwhelmingly in favor of Rose. There were some contrarians, but there was never a serious doubt about who the Bulls would take.

No doubt.
Additionally, everyone knows Stern rigged the lottery for the Bulls to get Rose at #1.

Yeah it was just a story ginned up to generate interest. Like when the Colts were supposedly seriously debating taking Ryan Leaf over Peyton Manning.

Part three of a trilogy.
Part I = Ewing to the Knicks
Part II = LeBron to the Cavs
Part III = Rose to the Bulls
(Part IV = Wiggins to the Raptors?)

I listened to a lot of sport's talk radio back then (another bad habit I've mostly kicked) and my recollection is that while most favored Rose (partly based on him being a local kid) there was also substantial support for Beasley. Maybe my recollection is wrong.

What about Jordan to baseball for gambling?
As a Bulls fan I was one of those people that really wanted Beasley instead of Rose. It was actually pretty up in the air with reports even on draft night that the Bulls would take Beasley.

Yea, to be fair to Beasley, the numbers he put up as a Frosh. were historic.
Now, teams who interviewed him and saw him in workouts should have seen through some of the numbers... but looking at the stats, it's hard to deny Beasley's greatness. Honestly, the guy was DOMINANT in college.
College Year GP GS MIN SPG BPG RPG APG PPG FG% FT% 3P%
Kansas State 2007–08 33 33 31.5 1.3 1.6 12.4 1.2 26.2 .532 .774 .379
Some Chicago people were also worried about Derrick staying in Chicago.

I remember jumping up off my couch when the Bulls won the lottery because I was excited that the Bulls were going to get Beasley.
Wouldn't change anything about what actually happened, though.

If I remember correctly, coaches like these scrimmages because they can go as long as they want and work with the other coach to work whatever kind of specific scenarios into the scrimmage, right?
It's kind of hard to declare a "winner" in that case, right?

I'd agree with that. I haven't watched one, but I've read enough reports and talked to people at them and coaches can stop play pretty much whenever, move players where they want them to create or correct scenarios, repeat plays, it's not at all like an exhibition game. I also think coaches like that these go on behind closed doors, and even if reports leak out, there's no footage for anyone to work with.

What makes it even harder to win is that the NCAA forbids them from keeping score or running a real game clock. The NCAA has yet to get control over internet rumor-trolling related to the scrimmages though, so I'll be the first to say we pounded Virginia for the second year in a row.
Does anyone have any updates from the scrimmage with Virginia?
