CougCenter attempts to make you more excited about basketball than you already are

Last spring, I ran of series of my "Top 10 Cougar Plays" from last year's basketball season. [Honest to God, if I do a football version this year, "Reid Forrest punts the ball" might just be one of the them]

So, in an effort to make you even more amped about the return of Bennett Ball, let's start counting down the plays one more time. We'll stop with #6, our first play with video still available:

#10: D-Low caps Baylor comeback

#9: Forrest dunks on NC A&T

#8: Weaver denies James Harden’s attempt at a game-winner

#7: Rochestie-to-Cowgill sinks the Ducks

#6 Kyle Weaver does this:

#7

…is the reason I think we’ll miss Cowgill A LOT. Rochestie always seemed to find him for a nice inbounds play ending with a dunk.

I miss Kyle.

Me too

Although I’m pretty sure I’ll never get over the bitterness associated with him playing in OKC. Not bitterness toward him; just bitterness in general.

It would be like OKC trading for Brandon Roy in the eyes of Husky fans — just another kick in the crotch. Well, I guess not a kick in the crotch for you, MLips, but I think you get the metaphor.

Agreed

I called so many people to vent when I saw that trade. We finally have a player in the NBA and I can’t even root for him!

that was the only play we ran for him

and it was a beauty. We nailed that so well. However, I’m pretty sure Mr. Casto could duplicate Robbie’s success on that. I HOPE Casto develops into Robbie’s equal this year, he definitely has all the tools. I would guess that Casto as a frosh will be about the same as Robbie as a sophomore, hopefully a little better on the boards.

I don't believe in the existence of the St. Louis Rams. They're just an urban legend!

How about both of the cowgill last second layups

That was an amazing game against our favorite team to beat and our least favorite team to lose to. And the crowd went absolutely nuts on both of those shots.
