Jon Scheyer
I’m really only posting this because a Duke player is listed on the team. Yes, yes, I have a bias.
University of Tennessee Volunteers coach Bruce Pearl will guide the team, with Harris Adler of Lasalle University and Doug Gottlieb, ESPN college basketball analyst and former Oklahoma State University and Notre Dame player, named as assistants.
Jon Scheyer of Duke University is perhaps the biggest name on the roster.
The 21-year-old is in his third season in Duke University and is one of the team’s best players, averaging 14.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game this season.
Other players to make the team include Derek Glasser of Arizona State University, Steven Gruber from Brown University, Zachary Rosen of University of Pennsylvania and the head coach’s son from Tennessee, Steven Pearl.
Scheyer just received the ACC Tournament MVP award.

Well, you learn new things about your alma mater’s team everyday, besides the fact that most of my fellow Dukies seem to be so full of themselves to think that the “know-nothing” commentators just live to bash Duke (and yes, I’ve gotten into an Internet fight with my fellow Dukies over their pretentiousness at the shock, SHOCK, that the commentators think Pitt is better than Duke).

Oh, another thing: Jewish Life TV is carrying the Maccabiah Games over its Internet feed at jltv.tv/

Can we take advantage of this to permanently resettle Dick Vitale in Israel?
