Upgrade















Upgrade! I parlayed my ten dollar ticket into a courtside seat for last night's Texas-Pittsburgh game at Sprint Center. A kind friend who won a text message contest made it possible. He didn't want to stick around after his beloved Iowa fell to Wichita State. The upgrade allowed me a close look at Dexter Pittman, one of my favorite collegiate players. He once weighed 366. Look at him now.

    Pittman is a monster. He's amongst the best "big" men in the collegiate game. If Texas gets some consistency from the outside shooters, Pittman will dominate the inside and my alma mater will be a tough game this year for everyone else in the Big 12.

    As much as I love Pittman, it looks like he's still adjusting to his new body. Pittsburgh's big man showed him up a few times. But Damien James... The most talented guy on the court never stopped hustling. So impressive.

    Baby Shaq has slimmed down, eh? Bring 'em on! Jayhawks will rule the roost this year!

    eick... after last night's performance from aldrich, i wouldn't be overly confident. yes, the 'hawks won, yes other team members stepped up, but cole was beaten at his own game and pittman could do the same. - mike t.
