Kansas State 83, #21 Dayton 75Dayton falls for the second straight game, in a slightly disappointing end to a preseason tournament that started so nicely with that win over Georgia Tech.

Denis Clemente Will Beat You At HORSE

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 16:15:47 -0500

If he makes that shot against you in HORSE, you just take the "H" and don't even bother shooting, right? The lucky shooter, if you aren't familiar with him, is Kansas State guard Denis Clemente. He's got more than a little game, if you didn't see the Wildcats last season, averaging 15 per night.

Then, in the offseason, he did this: That video was posted on July 25. (Somehow, it escaped my fiery eye until now, and I am very angry about that.) In the meantime, despite having been viewed only about 40,000 times on YouTube, Clemente has manage...

As we approach the stretch run of the 2007-2008 basketball season, we find a Big 12 freshmen solidifying his position as the frontrunner for National Player of the Year. In fact, the entire freshman class is playing at a level unlike anything NCAA hoops has ever seen, in terms of both superstar talent, and depth. Wait a minute, haven't we heard this before?
