That Kid From YouTube Won the College Dunk Contest

Jacob Tucker (that kid from YouTube) from Illinois College won the NCAA Slam Dunk contest.  Normally this would be shocking, but this really couldn't be less of surprise.  I mean he is 5'10" and has a 50" vertical, and we have all seen him dunk, there was no way he was gonna lose.  As soon as he was invited to this contest, it was inevitable that he would win.  But I don't really get why he was in it at all.

What's Going on With Bruce Weber and Oklahoma?

 

Chicago Sun-Times -  The Norman (Okla.) Transcript, citing a “well-placed” source, said Illinois coach Bruce Weber has emerged as a viable candidate to become the next coach at Oklahoma, saying there appears to be mutual interest.

Weber, who has been at Illinois the last eight seasons, appears to have some reasons to find Oklahoma attractive, the paper said.
Earlier this season, athletic director Ron Guenther issued a statement supporting Weber’s future at Illinois when it looked like it might miss the NCAA tournament for the third time in four years.
Illinois must replace four senior starters next season.
The source said another factor that could make OU attractive to Weber is that Guenther’s contract expires at the end of June. If it’s not renewed, the paper said Weber’s seat could get hot under a new athletic director.

MJ is not happy about Harrison Barnes wearing Kobes

Hey Harrison Barnes, show some respect!  You go to North Carolina, aka the University of Michael Jordan, you better be wearing Jordans at all times.  And to wear the Kobes, that is just a slap right in the G.O.A.T.'s face.  It's just a lack or respect.  MJ has got you wearing custom Jordans that only the UNC basketball team gets and you are bitchin' about not getting the "cool greys".  I can't wait until Ohio State kicks your ass.

This also raises a question.  Did Jordan commit an NCAA violation by promising them "anything they want" if they make the Final Four?  Or can he do that because he is basically Jordan Brand, which dresses them?  The NCAA is so fucked up, nothing would surprise me.

PS - What kind of ride is that Jordan is about to get on?  Some kind of street legal quad?
