Weird Hoops Happenings, Hair

Luke Winn’s college basketball blog at Sports Illustrated.com is worth a look or two. There’s a main article about the odd things that have been happening in NCAA basketball so far this season, starting with some extraordinary upsets. There have also been some interesting player stat totals, both on the good side and the bad, and there have been more than enough off-the-court issues to keep college hoops fans filled with conversation starters. If you are coming home to a Thanksgiving meal in a few weeks, you can talk hoops with your brother-in-law for hours if you read this article. Highly recommended.

Also highly recommended is “The Style Archive.” Luke Winn is a little too nice with some of the players, but he does not lack for the exhaustiveness of his research in recording and archiving the very weirdest in college basketball fashion. There are a lot of odd haircuts out there, so the “Do’s” section is long and tiresome by the end. Personally, this blogger enjoys the section on accessories, which starts off with Tyler Hansbrough’s face mask from last season. Remember that? This section will certainly jog your memory about a few funny things that college players do while they are young and trying to find themselves.
