And I'm watching it. The world is a strange place.

But Calipari was perhaps most impressed with the attention the game received from the Chinese media. More than one hundred reporters and photographers were credentialed for the event, according to organizers. Even more impressive was the fact that the game (and the two ensuing contests) will be shown nationwide on CCTV.

"Think about this," said Calipari, "our game with Tennessee that was on ESPN in February was their most watched regular season college game ever - it had something like five million viewers. The people here tell me that these games (two of which are on tape delay and one that will be live) will have something like 15-20 million people watching. That's unbelievable. That kind of exposure for the school, the league and the NCAA? There's nothing like that."

Yeah, but all 20 million are crammed into 5 households.

Who is winning?

No Derrick Rose, no Joey Dorsey, no CDR - what's worth watching?

Ultra Peanut 05-30-2008 07:16 AM
62-54 with just over a minute left in the third, Skip. I'll be sure to keep you updated by the minute!

Antonioooooo, Dozier, Tags, Willie, and Jeff Robinson, mostly. The Mack Attack's fun, too, and I bet the Chinese fans' eyes bugged out of their heads when they saw Pierre.

And yeah, it's weird not seeing Buckets, Rose, and Joey out there. It's also weird seeing the C-USA players who came on the trip playing alongside our guys.

Ultra Peanut 05-30-2008 07:24 AM
Pierre just came in and immediately got fouled. LMAO

El Jefe 05-30-2008 07:41 AM
Who's this Pierre?

These refs are ****ing hilarious. I mean, I know China's going to get home cooking, but they make Russia 1972 look fair. There hasn't been a single China possession in the last three minutes of the game in which there hasn't been a foul called.

It's an exhibition, guys. Great shame will not be visited upon your glorious nation if the dirty American college athletes win a game.

Hahahahaha, another phantom tech. Sweet Jesus.

YAYYYYY YOU WON DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES

The refs are just trying to save their own lives.

is it still going? im just getting some chinese espn sportscenter shit

Ultra Peanut 05-30-2008 08:09 AM
No, it ended. China won 91 or 92-88 or something like that. The last few moments were obscured by some guy browsing through Windows Explorer in Chinese.

well if they can beat Memphis by 4 without Rose, Team USA will beat them by 70

ArrowheadHawk 05-30-2008 09:35 AM
Team CUSA what a bunch of studs. We should have a big 12 all star team and play exhibition games.

I'm impressed they could beat Memphis at all and they certainly couldn't with Rose, CDR, etc. playing.

Ultra Peanut 05-30-2008 11:05 AM
Taggart didn't play very much at all, either. Speculation is that he had food poisoning.

The reason it's "Team C-USA" has something to do with NCAA rules regarding the number of practices a collegiate exhibition team can run as opposed to a school's team in the offseason, or something like that. Plus Cal's good friends with Tulsa coach Wocjik and his former assistant and current UTEP coach Tony Barbee, so I'm sure he was happy to bring them and a couple of their players along.

Tulsa's Ben Uzoh is really solid. He jammed it down a couple of times. And not that a top 50 recruit is going to come out of nowhere, but Jeff Robinson is going to surprise some people next season. He's going to earn his way right into the starting lineup if he keeps playing like he's done against China.
