STF Conference Reports: The Big 12

Whew. I think I have roughly two weeks worth of action to catch up on here.

You may know that the Cardinal often put a pair of twins on the court who go by the names Brook and Robin Lopez. When the two seven-footers are on the court together, they wreak havoc on opposing big men. It struck me as comical every time some poor guy would get caught between the brothers, swiveling his head and trying to figure out which guy was going to end up with the ball - the mop-top or the suede-head. In fact, it kind of reminded me of the above video. The third guy in the video is ...
