Naismith Finalists Announced - Should We Even Bother?
The four finalists for the Naismith Award are out. You can't really argue the four names that are included: DeJuan Blair, Blake Griffin, Tyler Hansbrough and Hasheem Thabeet.

I DON'T LIKE THIS...
"The refs, they have it out for me, I guess," he said. "They want to get DeJuan Blair out of the game."Ugh.

UConn/Pitt: Hasheem Gets Tha-Beasted
I have enjoyed watching UCONN play this season as they rose to
the best team in the nation with a number one ranking. I also thought
