Here it is, not great quality but enough for people who didn't see it to know what everyone is talking about.

Unfortunately I know what that pattern is: a blackberry on vibrate. When I first watched the video I instinctively reached for my own.

#1 for the U in the background is great.

Someone needs to photoshop a purse onto his arm.

That's a no call in the Big East, ACC is soft.

Better than the dunk I thought was Reggie calling his own number to take over the last 2-3 times on offense not by calling a play but by grabbing the "0" on his own jersey repeatedly. Really funny, telling everyone in the building he's going to take over. And he did. At which point half the team came out to screen for him. It's his team, he's leading the others now.

Has anyone ever seen 20(!) offensive rebounds in a half like BC had in the first half?. Incredible. Raji was absolutely killing them, although Miami was standing around quite a bit. He cannot be kept off the boards, too quick and just fights and claws for position on much bigger guys. Uncanny.

Good game overall for BC, but they really were a two man team, the lineup when Al rested Reggie and Raji and Miami closed the gap was a nothing lineup....(Trapani, Roche, Elmore, Dunn, Paris). Bad team without Reggie and Raji.

Really concerned about Trapani, my first game in person, but he's regressed offensively, just not the impact player he was hyped to be and that he showed at the very beginning of last year. I'm not quite ready to say Martin Clark, but we need him to find some confidence offensively. This is trouble.

This is Reggie's team, he is now leading, barking at the other guys (in a good way) and getting others to play harder. Have to wonder what Sanders is thinking seeing Reggie run this team, can't wait to see how Sanders and Reggie interact. Could be something if Sanders meant what he said about maturing.

I think he just had an bad shooting night.

I tend to agree with Nick here. But it will be worrying if a couple of these bad nights stack up on each other. Currently he's shooting better from behind the arc than from the floor in total. As long as he keeps rebounding and hitting his FTs, he'll be a solid contributor. We don't necessarily need him to score a ton once Rakim gets back.

Not to be an apologist, but I think he has been sick the past two weeks. That could explain things a bit.

I think he has been, plus he was getting hacked like mad inside last night and it was clearly frustrating him. Don't think its time to worry about him yet.

This is the most positive OJ post ever. I wonder why...

oooh oooh I know pick me pick me, is it because trapani is white?????

[cvilleagle]

Reggie clearly saw that this team was rudderless and decided to assert himself, and now I have a lot of excitement for this team. Now we just need Rakim back and for Skinner to move Reggie to the point and kick Paris to the 6th man role.

I like Paris, but this team makes a big offensive leap when Reggie is on the floor. I think they need that.

[DuchesneEast]

Foul or not, Jackson has a few more dunks like that and kids will start filling the arena to see what he does.

[twballgame9]

I believe the shirt grab thing is a play indicator. Bell, Hinnant and Rice used to do it all the time. That said, it makes for a cooler story your way.

[jrlbc06]

Yeah, Trapani has/had the flu.

i just watched birdmans dunk on mcroberts in the acc championship game, that was pretty nice but i think it got extra point because it was against duke and on that waste of life mcroberts. Reggies was better but i enjoy watching birdmans more

THAT'S what that guy's name was. I was trying to remember yesterday after Reggie's dunk. All I could think of was "Josh McEurope. I know it's McSomething..."

That call is disgraciad. In the clear video (thanks, shock) you can see that when Reggie plants, the guy is almost directly under the rim, and Reggie is already about two feet off the ground by the time the guy gets to his spot. And ignoring the fact that he never actually set his feet, he STILL had to lean to the left to take the contact in the chest.

[b0mberMan]

Even the commenters at The Big Lead know that was a BS call

[cvilleagle]

Katz called it "questionable"
