We, ourselves, had tracked the tweener hooper as a small forward in our preseason rankings but he's played a little guard as well. "Swingman," we'll call him.
Great Moments in Georgetown-Syracuse History: CJ Fair Posterizes Otto Porter
In the final Big East tournament meeting between these bitter rivals, Syracuse's CJ Fair left Georgetown's Otto Porter with a memory he'd never forget. With two minutes left in overtime and the Orange up one, Fair caught a pass at the elbow, faked right then drove left towards the hole, flushing down a left-handed facial on Porter. It would be the dagger, as Cuse would win 58-55.
WATCH: Mikal Bridges throws it down
Excellent handles by Arcidiacono to set this slam dunk up. The Wildcats are beginning to pull away from St. Joe's, currently up 72-59. The game can be found on CBS Sports Network where available.
This just in: Jalen Brunson is really good, guys. Watch this pass from Brunson to Arcidiacono
What an incredible play by Brunson to lead to the 3-pointer by Ryan Arcidiacono. The 2015 edition of the Holy War has been a sensational game so far. Get to CBS Sports Network if you can.
WATCH: Kris Dunn hits a hard, magnificent drop step and scores
Providence trails Michigan State at the half but, as usual, Kris Dunn has been magnificent including in plays like these. [h/t The Morning Hangover]
