Weekend Linkfest

Its been a crazy week in college basketball and not just for people named Fine. Here's a stab at rounding up links to some of the biggest headlines:

Rebel Yell - UNLV, lead by a guy named Oscar and a guy named Chace, knocks off #1 UNC by 10.

Early season losses happen, the bigger concern for UNC fans should be Harrison Barnes leaving the arena on crutches after rolling his ankle. It doesn't sound serious. Too bad, would be karma for faking an injury this summer (only UNC kids would play pickup on a tennis court. Duke kids play pickup on lax fields).

The excellent Andy Katz with his "Impressions after two weeks of covering games."

Grantland has been a pleasantly surprising website. Obviously, we love them going after Duke. Here is Sebastian Pruiti's "The Problems With Austin Rivers."

Staying on the Grantland theme, here is Chuck Klosterman's "The 50 Greatest College Basketball Players of All Time." It was written in the beginning of the November, but it's still a great read.

Written before the Battle 4 Atlantis, ESPNs John Gassaway makes a case for UConn as the top team in the country.

It's much easier to read him than listen to him - Dick Vitale with an interesting, albeit brief, overview of the top transfers in the country. I didn't realize Prince/Mike Rosario had transferred from Rutgers to Florida. Nicely played, sir.

Farmington's Finest, Tim Abromaitis, is out for the season with a torn ACL. That's what you get, Notre Dame, for holding UConn hostage from joining the ACC. The good news is this will keep Calhoun from having a Ryan Gomes-esque meltdown after Timmy would have lit UConn up again.
