Holloway killed us in the second half. NBA threes and all!

Holloawy legally changed his name to "Tu" over the summer, in part because that was his nickname growing up. It allowed our student section to hold up a sign welcoming "ESPN Tu" last Saturday because the Temple game was being telecast on "the Deuce".

I'm not sure he legally changed it, but it is his nickname since childhood. He wanted to be called Tu since he set foot on campus (b/c everyone calls him that), but over the summer Chris Mack said he had earned it.

I thought I read that it wasn't actually a legal name change (his real name is still Terrell) that it was just changed in the programs and roster sheet used by announcers.

This is correct. It is the same concept as Crag Claxton going by Speedy Claxton. It is not a legal name change, just what he goes by and the name he wanted to be recognized by in programs, in the media, etc.

ESPNTU is his Twitter handle.

Tu has made some ridiculous plays this year. Over, under, around, thru the competetion, left hand, right hand, layup, scoop, 3, floater in the lane, draw contact when needed, make the ft's, pinpoint passing, run the team....amazing and fun to watch. Whadda need him to do? He does it all.

I think it will be ironic if Tu wins the award that Crawford could not. Tu is a great player but Jordan Crawford was flat out crazy good and a first round draft pick. I actually think Crawford not winning may help Tu win the award, and KA winning it might hurt Harper. BTW, Harpers stat line is insane as well.

UD helpedn Tu's cause tonight, but I expect Harper to go off this weekend. Maybe Spiderinthe495bowl will deny it, but I won't question his fandom.

Chris Wright probably bothered Harper more than any other defender I've seen this year. Yet Harper was instrumental in getting Wright into foul trouble, which obviously had a big impact on the game. But statlines are where POY is earned, so yes UD ironically helped Tu's case.

I'll never question your fandom either. I save that for your quirky obsessiveness.

Harper scored 14 points in 39 minutes. Don't credit Dayton's defense he must have been having his period? Give Chris W credit for putting up 22 and showing what a true big man can produce.

MudFlap · 01-25-2011, 10:15 PM

Harper 4-13 and CW only played 28 mins.

Take your consolation where you can I suppose. Perhaps Wright can get the consolation POY.

stevex · 01-25-2011, 10:59 PM

Tu's the POY in this league hands down. His stats are head and shoulders above what Anderson has done this year and he has done it it against better competition per the RPI SOS (X-22, UR 107).

REF · 01-26-2011, 04:33 AM

Chris Wright a 'true big man' - what a joke. Wright doesn't have any low post moves. Unfortunately, his jump shot sucks too.

Harper is a serious threat - i like his game.
