Snowflakes: C-USA/Big East Hoops

Posted: Jan 30, 2008

by Patrick Snow

* Could this week finally bring the contest where #1 Memphis actually loses a conference game? The last time that happened was at UAB on March 2nd, 2006. On Wednesday night, the undefeated Tigers travel to Houston to battle the 15-3 Cougars. After Memphis beat Gonzaga on Saturday, Coach John Calipari said that he believed his team will lose at least one or two conference games. I think Coach Cal is just trying to build up C-USA so national voters won’t hold it against his Tigers if they do lose those games. While I think Memphis should prevail, it will definitely be a great atmosphere at Hofheinz Pavilion.

* West Virginia had won four in a row before losing a heartbreaker last Saturday against Georgetown. I thought Bob Huggins did a good job of not losing his cool after the Mountaineers game-winning attempt appeared to be goaltended by Patrick Ewing Jr. West Virginia did not get the call, and Huggins chose to accept missed free throws as the cause for the loss instead of the ending no-call. If WVU can score in the 60s or even 70s each game, their halfcourt defense will continue to make them the surprise team in the rugged Big East.

* Louisville was expected to challenge Georgetown for the conference crown, but the Cardinals have already lost 3 conference games. Coach Pitino’s clubs have always been known for their firepower, but this year’s squad is in the lower half of the league in scoring and shooting percentage. Pitino has shuffled lineups in and out this season, but he must find a go-to guy for critical baskets late if the Cardinals are going to achieve their postseason goals.

I saw something shocking on my way to work the other day. uggs new york While bundled in a long sleeved shirt, wool sweater and coat, with a Pashmina, hat and gloves, I saw a man with his bike a the bus stop in SANDALS. He wasn’t overly well dressed for cold weather, in jeans, t-shirt and open jacket. Now, having lived in Oregon for the past decade I have come to be aware of what “true Oregonians” consider winter attire. This primarily consists of the inbred belief that flip-flops are a necessity year round, and sweaters and umbrellas are for tourists. I do not uphold this belief. I love getting dressed up for winter, layering on leggings with my sweater dress and ugg boots new york, a sweater and a jacket, and a rotating army of scarves, hats and gloves. I don’t enjoy being frozen, especially knowing how easy a situation that is to avoid. uggs new york saleSo personally, I do not consider myself a “true Oregonian.” I like umbrellas, and only wear flip flops when it’s above 75 degrees.Based on the population of Oregon, ugg new york I’m probably in the minority. Although I have come to accept that these people are just immune to cold in a way I am not, uggs new york of sale I do still think they are crazy. I’m guessing that the good folks at UGG Australia caught wind of these people because look at what they have to offer: sandals with fleece!uggs new york on sale

Want to purchase a pair of basket ball replica watches but not sure which is the right one for you? The most popular basketball shoes possibly ever created are the fake Louis Vuitton watches.The price tag on these fake Ulysse Nardin varies greatly and it is often difficult to tell if you are getting a genuine pair or a Skagen watches fake.There are many knockoffs created by scam businesses, they look real enough, almost perfect, but can be in fact be fakes.How do you know replica Hermes watches then whether you are getting a real pair and getting the genuine article or you are getting a fake pair and being part Aero fake of a full scale ripoff? There are many businesses that will take gullible consumers and sell fake or replica Hermes Air Jordan shoes, not only online but on black market stalls on the streets.Either way you don’t want to be part of a replica Vacheron Constantin ripoff and you want your genuine Air Jordan shoes, but what will you actually get and where will you get DandG watches replica them?The problem is that you don’t know if the shoes are real or fake if you base your decision only on price, because replica Aero watches genuine shoes can also be sold at a much lower cost than the so called genuine Jordan shoes. Genuine Jordan fake Rolex SubMariner can sometimes be sold at 25-30% of the normal cost.You can buy these shoes online or from the so called black fake Elini watches market operations.Those people who are not aware of the various different versions of the Air Jordan may have no idea Rolex Explorer replica what the differences are between the fake or knock off shoes being sold by a scam artist or the real genuine or fake Rotary watches product being sold by the big business in America or a wholesaler. It is very difficult with good quality knock Longines watches fake offs to tell if they are real or fake.The main reason for this is that all of the Air Jordan shoes will be made in another Aero watches replica country.As an example, if a factory worker called P1 (Person1) in Asia somewhere is making Air Jordan shoes that will Jaquet Droz watches fake be shipped to America for sale as the real genuine article for perhaps $300 or more then the person next to P1 Body Glove fake in the factory, we will call him P2 (Person2), is also making the same shoes they are called a replica IWC and a knock off version because it is not going direct to the “Big N”.You know which company I mean name has only four letters in it and based in America.The shoes that are sent to the “Big N” are they therefore fake Rotary real or fake? They are quite probably made next to P2 who makes the shoes for a wholesaler so which ones are real Hermes watches fake and which ones are fake? Which ones are genuine and which ones are replica Bertolucci watches? When you buy the shoes made by P1 at $350 you may in fact being more involved in a ripoff, since these shoes may Piaget fake be the same as those made by P2, sitting at the table next to P1, but they are called a fake Chanel because they will not go to the “Big N” in the USA? Which is real or fake? Which part is the rip off, buying TechnoMarine fake the same shoes for $300 being a rip off or buying them for $99? You have to decide which shoes are knockoffs Tag Heuer replica and why? Do you want the so called real shoes made by P1 or the Guess watches and so called fake shoes made by P2? Tricky isn’t it! So when you consider the fact that the shoes are quite probably made in the same factory but distributed to different retailers/wholesalers for fake Casio watches different prices, where is the scam? The expensive so called genuine article made by P1 or the replica A.Lange and Sohne watches or knockoffs made by P2.You have to make the decision whether you want to pay $300 or more for a genuine “fake Piaget” made by P1 or the “fake” fake Zenith watches made by P2 and pay less than say $100.They are mostly made in the same factory so how do you figure it out?? fake Body Glove Fake or real, real or fake $300 or $99! I want the shoes made by P2 and pay the better price for the same Air Jordan shoes fake Pulsar watches – don’t you? One thing is sure those who are selling Jordans at $99 per pair are not making billion dollar Parmigiani fake profits.Author Michiel Van Kets writes articles for toetoeshoes.com and spends his time trying to fake Puma watches counter all the misinformation circulating regarding knockoff products and in particular fake shoes.
