UConn not psycho for Psycho T
Submitted by lchavez on 11/09/2008 - 17:28
ESPN The Magazine came out with its College Hoops Preview this week. It focused on the big men who stuck around for another year like UNC senior Tyler Hansbrough, the reigning national player of the year, Notre Dame junior Luke Harangody, Okalahoma sophomore Blake Griffin and Connecticut junior Hasheem Thabeet.
Thabeet got off the best line, which was prominently displayed on the Mag's cover for the world to see. Asked who he thought were the toughest big men in college, Thabeet said, "Nobody's better than me, only more experienced. I played Luke Harangody and he was not tough. Tyler Hansbrough? I don't see nothing."

Hilarious

Harangody OWNED Thabeet
Mon, 11/10/2008 - 01:03 — Sportz Assassin (not verified)Harangody wasn't tough? The last time UConn and Notre Dame played, he dumped 32 points on the Huskies and grabbed 16 boards. Thabeet? Four points and 10 boards.

Thabeet
Sun, 11/09/2008 - 19:21 — melvinfurdThe 7-3 Thabeet averaged 10.5 ppg & 7.8 rpg last season.
I never heard of the guy until today. And I understand why.

Sun, 11/09/2008 - 17:44 — gvillegatrHasheem Thabeet ... this guy disapperaed soooo many times, in games, last season you'd a thought he left the building. All he is trying to do isa get noticed.
This kinda stuff makes me laugh and Tyler focus and give/do that much harder.
