Here is the greatness that Adidas is giving Indiana and Miami for men's and women's basketball... This is apparently the best they got.

Jesus, I usually like the alt jerseys more than most other people do, but that’s hideous

I'm not at all opposed to a black uniform but I hope the actual thing looks a helluva lot better than the picture.   That looks almost as bad as my crudely memed Wareadactyl.

Well, it does kinda put the Fear of God into me …

I'm hopeful they'll look considerably better under arena lighting.

That's basically what it'll look like. Plain black with red lettering and black shorts.

I think somebody at Fear of God just got a Cricut for Valentine's Day.

With 15 laps left I told a buddy we have at least 3 more wrecks before this is over. 2 down…

It’s the Craftsman Wreck Series

Don't know if anybody has seen this yet.

The ol' left-hander -- Lefty Driesell -- died this morning. 

Was a legend in these parts and lived in my city -- Virginia Beach. 

Quite a character.

Makes me want to go back and read John Feinstein's book on the ACC.

Sad news... but '"the old left-hander" was Joe Nuxhall, the Cincinnati Reds broadcaster... he signed off of every broadcast with his trademark phrase "This is the old left-hander, rounding third and heading for home".

Will never forget his quotes and how in awe he was of our team after we absolutely routed one of his best Maryland teams in the second round of the 1981 NCAA Tournament:  "They were the best team I've played since I got my program going.  Nobody's beat us like that.  If they were playing the 76ers today, they would have beat the 76ers.  There's nothing I can say but congratulations.  I hope they win the national championship."  And of course, we did.

UConn/Marquette at 3 on Fox.  Game or the day.   Loaded slate as always 

[str8baller 5,042]

Creighton at Butler. I forgot the All star game was this weekend. Kinda cool for them that there are a handful of NBA guys in attendance.

[str8baller 5,042]

Butler was on the losing end of one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen. Cost them 2-3 points right before half.  Hard to complain about “big Ten refs” after that. 

[str8baller 5,042]

Virginia is so good in close games. They can’t even make FT’s today but are going to close this out. Still amazes me a bunch of seniors botched that tourney game last year.  
 

Bennett loses his best player next year but has a nice young core coming back next year.
