As a high school basketball player, he did not work his way into the starting lineup until he was a junior and couldn't dunk until his senior season. Just a couple of years removed from being a lightly recruited prospect out of Leuzinger High School, UCLA sophomore guard Russell Westbrook was a lottery selection in the NBA draft.

Name Recognition (192 clicks)
I know it's the offseason because I'm having way too much fun (and trouble) with this game.
The rules are simple: Type the name of every school in the BCS conferences in 12 minutes or less. You can type them in any order, and several variations of a school's name will count. It's the honor code here, so no looking at a map or anything like that.

Basketball Dream Match-ups (221 clicks)
After reading N’s post about the home and home series with Kansas in ’09-’10, I remembered a post by M from a while back about football rivalries that aren’t, but should be. This got me wondering, what basketball rivalries are out there that aren’t but should be? I’m going to take it a little farther than that and not only limit it to rivalries, but home and home series as well.

Sitting on a cross-country flight Sunday gave me a chance to dig into a few things and that means the return of the weekly Top 10 list. Today's topic is the teams with the toughest non-conference schedule. I calculated this one based on a simple point total based on who the team is playing and where, and then averaged up the points since some schools have three games and others have four.
