→ Rush The Court on Indiana’s Destruction of North Carolina
So this is why Indiana garnered the #1 preseason ranking for the 2012-13 season. Despite coming into Tuesday night’s game with a 6-0 record and 32-point average margin of victory, the AP poll’s top-ranked Hoosiers had yet to produce a statement performance to legitimize their candidacy as the best squad in all of college hoops. It took overtime to dispose of previously unranked Georgetown last week, and Tom Crean’s team faced another tough test with the Tar Heels coming to town for the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. Indiana did not fool around this time, easily disposing of North Carolina, 83-59, in a game that showcased a tantalizing display of offensive basketball by the Hoosiers from start to finish. All doubts about IU’s true “top-seed upside” are quelled for the time being after it ran a young-but-explosive UNC team off the floor in Bloomington by out-executing and out-smarting the Tar Heels; even in an imperfect shooting night.
The Hoosiers domination of the second half was breathtaking. As I have been saying to people all day: Indiana is really good.

On the plus side, they’re definitely better than Maryland in both basketball and football.

The proposed rules that would prevent “anchoring” the putter when putting. The main effect of these rules: no more belly putters.
→ Season Review: Che-Hsuan Lin
I am linking to this purely so I can say that it is an absolute joy to watch Lin play the outfield. I saw him in a few AAA games and in a game at Fenway. He got great jumps and covered an unbelievable amount of ground. The only guy I saw last season that I can compare him to is Mike Trout. Of course, Mike Trout is a slightly better hitter.

This-at a minimum-delays the destruction of the ACC. Hopefully, the ACC takes this opportunity to re-align the conferences to allow FSU and Clemson to meet in the ACC title game going forward.

The only way that Clemson will be able to keep against programs from the SEC and Pac 10 is to get higher caliber players on both lines. The question is whether or not that happens before the ACC is disbanded.
