It's likely he played a little bit better when he was averaging 17.3 points in the first four NCAA Tournament games.
hahaha...it always amazes me when people make such assessments based on a weekend. the big guy was a huge reason why they were there.

I'll be the first to tell you, other than this past weekend, I don't know anything about any of the four teams.  I was making an observation about #41.  He's their "big man" and he played anything but that.  I'm not talking he had an off game.  I'm saying he plays light, like a little man, who's afraid to throw his body around and fight for some boards, go up strong and actually challenge the other team.  Aside from getting a lucky block, probably because he's so large, I didn't see anything all that great.  I'm not ripping the guy.  Obviously he had to be some kind of a great basketball player at some point in his life or else he wouldn't have gotten where he was.  It just seems like for some reason he's playing scared.  I'm not against this guy or the team.  I'm from PA and although I wasn't cheering for UC, I wasn't against them either.  I just wanted to see some great games, which I did!

I attended the D III Final Four this past weekend in Salem, VA and had a great time.  It was amazing how many fans attended from Hope and Wash U compared to the much closer Ursinius.  UC had their following, don't get me wrong, but nothing compared to the others (minus Amherst). 

Also, speaking of Ursinius, either #41's parents donated a lot of money to UC and helped build a new science wing, or he had the two worst games of his life this past weekend.  Either way, he didn't deserve to start.  #23 for them, who I believe is only a Sophomore, played much better and more aggressive.  I believe he had 11 points by halftime in the consolation game.  #41 had 3 or 4 fouls by then with not even half the points.  It made me scratch my head.  No offense to #41 but if that's the way he plays, I can't believe he was a starter on a NCAA collegiate team of any level.
