			GAME OF THE WEEK

	  Syracuse Orangemen at Lousiville Cardinals,  Jan. 18, 1986


	  My favorite Orangemen will be taking on my second-favorite
    team, Denny Crum's Louisville Cardinals this saturday in Louisville.
    Although I'll be cheering at both ends of the floor, my heart is
    with 'Cuse. This may be their year.

          This will be a great test for the Orange. I'm sure it
    will be a great game as there are so many quality athletes on
    both teams. I'm interested in seeing a certain guard for
    Lousiville, I think his name is Kevin Walls.
    He was supposed to play last year but a broken foot
    sidelined him for the season (and broke Crum's 20-wins+
    streak). He was a highly recruited guard out of the New
    Jersey area.  Anyone who averaged 44 points a game as a
    senior is worth looking into.

	   Did anyone catch the end of that Bradley game on Saturday?
    Whew! Nuff said.

	  On an NBA note, those tough Celts are slowly catching up
    to the Lakers in terms of the best won-lost record. The Green
    was stumbling at the end of December and I'm not sure if I'm
    totally sold on Walton yet (his "O" or lack of it bugs me)
    but they do know how to win.

	  In all those years the Celtics were dominating in the 60's,
    they never had the league's leading scorer. I thought it was
    due totally to team ball, but I've been noticing something
    lately. The great teams usually yank their starters mid-way
    through the 3rd qrtr. Larry (no last name needed, kinda like Elvis)
    The Lakers and the Celtics keep their best players off the court
    when the game is in hand.

	  I heard a rumor that Isiah Thomas quit the Pistons. The next
    day I saw him playing against Philly. After all night of praying that
    Red Auerbach would somehow pick him up. Damn.

	  Next to the Lakers, the Hawks have the most exciting team
    in the NBA. Not only CAN all their players jam with authority,
    they DO. Even Spud.
