College students love to party in NBA jerseys... but how much do they know about the players they're wearing? Here's what I found at University of Texas' "Round Up" weekend.

Adam Silver era now has 7 different champions in 10 years:
Spurs, Warriors, Cavaliers, Raptors, Lakers, Bucks, Nuggets
David Stern era only had 8 different champions in 30 years:
Lakers, Celtics, Pistons, Bulls, Rockets, Spurs, Heat, Mavericks
All of these highlights are from one playoff run. In 2008, Larry Fitzgerald had the single-greatest postseason ever by a wide receiver.
30 receptions, 546 yards, 7 TD
Nuggets won their first title in a temporary city edition uniform that will never be worn again
Steph Curry’s iconic Game 4 in Boston involved a black city edition uniform that will never be worn again
Raptors won their first title in jerseys that said “NORTH”
We can do better
“What an avalanche from San Antonio!”
On this day 9 years ago, the San Antonio Spurs locked up their 5th championship, winning the 2014 NBA Finals by a record margin.
This 3rd quarter stretch remains iconic.

Fun but useless stat: Because of those replayed 51.9 seconds, Shaquille O’Neal and Shawn Marion were technically teammates on the Heat despite being traded for one another.
“What an avalanche from San Antonio!”
Seven years ago today, the Spurs got revenge on the Heat by an NBA Finals record margin of victory, en route to a fifth championship
The Sacramento Kings have the most game-winning buzzer beaters in the NBA since the 2018-19 season with 6:
- Bogdan Bogdanovic (12/27/18)
- Buddy Hield (1/19/19)
- Nemanja Bjelica (12/9/19)
- Buddy Hield (12/23/20)
- Harrison Barnes (3/27/21)
- Harrison Barnes (10/27/21)
College students often party in NBA jerseys, but do they know about the players they're wearing?
Once again, I went to University of Texas' "Round Up" weekend and here's what I found.

Jerami Grant just hit the first NBA game-winning buzzer beater since Jayson Tatum’s on April 17, 2022.
We went exactly 200 days without a game-winning buzzer beater. That was the longest drought since 2016.
Georgia State players are carrying Spuddy Buddy off the field after winning the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl
It truly is the most wonderful time of the year 🥔
A bit disappointing the most attended game in NBA history won’t look like this from a uniform standpoint.
Five years from now when these temporary jerseys are long gone, it’d be hard to identify the teams playing in this game.
The NFL Draft is no longer announcing every draft selection, which reminds me. Nikola Jokic’s draft pick in 2014 was shown during a Taco Bell commercial.
LSU 36, Georgia 16
“Georgia is clearly one of the best four teams in the country.”
LSU 40, UCF 24
“UCF didn’t deserve to be here.”
SEC hypocrisy at its finest.
Every college football fan loved watching Colt Brennan. Staying up until midnight and watching him carve out WAC defenses was one of the greatest shows in college football.
Sending prayers to his friends and family on this day.
Manu Ginobili
4x NBA Champion
2x All Star
2007 Sixth Man of the Year
2004 Gold Medalist 🇦🇷
2x All NBA
The Eurostep
The Harden Block
The game winning 3 vs. GSW
The dunk on Chris Bosh
The bat catcher
Spur for life

Buffalo athletics since March:
-won MAC tourney in men's hoops and demolished 4-seed Arizona, opens season with road win at West Virginia
-Sweet 16 appearance as 11-seed in women's hoops
-program-best 9-1 start in football, about to clinch MAC East
Buffalo is taking over.

If this is classified as a dunk, I believe it’s the first non-alley-oop buzzer-beating dunk since Tobias Harris on February 6, 2014.
Also the Magic.
10 teams that impressed me the most in Week 1:
1. Michigan State Spartans
2. Rutgers Scarlet Knights
3. Michigan Wolverines
4. Virginia Tech Hokies
5. Penn State Nittany Lions
6. Tulane Green Wave
7. Texas Longhorns
8. UCLA Bruins
9. Texas Tech Red Raiders
10. Georgia Bulldogs

Clare: What’s ruined you in relationships in the past?
Jason: I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut. My weakness is that I care too much. And my scars remind me that the past is real. I tear my heart open just to feel.
A 9-3 Fresno State team gets ranked by the committee because they heighten Alabama's strength of schedule.
Last week, a 9-1 USF team didn't get ranked because they'd heighten UCF's strength of schedule.
Think about it. Committee uses G5 teams solely to fit their agenda.
Walk-on Memphis WR Calvin Austin III was rewarded with a scholarship in the locker room after his 5-reception, 81-yard performance in Houston. Austin reflects on the moment.

Texas State OT Nash Jones said the touchdown wasn't his greatest memory from the game:
"After the game, I saw my family and I got to hug my dad. To fall into his arms like I was a little kid, even though I'm bigger than him, to see his face light up... I love my dad."
Tulane head coach Willie Fritz when asked about coaching carousel rumors from earlier this week: “I sure am glad I stayed. I’m glad I made a commitment to these kids.”
Best surprises of the 2021 college football season:
1. Baylor Bears, 12-2
2. Utah State Aggies, 11-3
3. Arkansas Razorbacks, 9-4
4. Northern Illinois Huskies, 9-5
5. Purdue Boilermakers, 9-4
6. Pitt Panthers, 11-3
7. San Diego State Aztecs, 12-2
Ray Davis was a star everywhere he went — at Temple, at Vanderbilt, and at Kentucky.
Will always remember him for his 280-yard, 3-touchdown explosion vs. Florida last fall. The newest Buffalo Bills RB:
Anthony Davis has played 7 seasons. By the time Tim Duncan finished season
#7
, he had 6 All-Star appearances, 2 MVPs, and 2 NBA championships.
Anthony Davis has won one playoff series.
Another one of my favorite stats from this game: Shawn Marion officially played two games in one night for different teams. (12/19/07)
He grabbed 1 rebound in 52 seconds in a loss for the Heat
He also scored 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in 38 minutes in a loss for the Suns
