November: Other NCAAB Games

Man, Richie Springs barely being in the rotation at Quinnipiac continues to puzzle me. 6'9 and fluid and a good rebounder. He's not even hitting the glass in limited minutes like he originally did at QU.

There's really no story there? No injury? He's just not good enough to see the floor at Quinnipiac?

Some guys just don't have game.

Two extremes for this:

Tony Robertson was blazing fast, a great shooter, good handle, could jump out of the building, but just didn't have "game". All the pieces were there, but the whole was less than the sum of the parts. He wasn't a bad player, and there were times he would do something that would take your breath away, but he could just never consistently put it all together.

Khalid El-Amin was short and slow, with short T-Rex arms, and did not exactly have the physique of a top level D1 athlete, but he just had game.
