One of the several pleasures of purist basketball fandom is watching players and teams who defy the easy categorizations of the meat market approach to the game and succeed, indeed flourish, where so many saw sure failure. Geary Claxton was one such player.

If they didn't it was damn close. Illinois had an awful night shooting the basketball, making just 15 of its 50 shots. In a contest between Illinois shooting regular shots and me shooting free throws with my left foot, it would not be a blowout.
