South Texas Death Ride.
Well, apparently, someone forgot to tell Kevin Durant that he's supposed to lie down and accept Carmelo status to Greg Oden's LeBron James, because he lost his ever-lovin' mind tonight. Durant poured in 37 points and grabbed an astounding 23 rebounds (he also had 3 steals) in Texas' 78-64 victory over Bobby Knight's Texas Tech Red Raiders. The manchild Oden managed only 9 points and 6 rebounds, along with two blocks, in tOSU's 78-60 victory over Purdue (a team nowhere in Texas Tech's league).
Before you begin, tOSU marks, I know. Oden's still not playing with both hands, blah blah blah, I don't fucking care. Kevin Durant has never been held to less than 10 points in his college career, and he's snagged 13 double-doubles in 21 games. Durant is, by turns, an unstoppable inside force and impossible to stop on the perimeter.
Oden's a great pure center, don't get me wrong, but he's Bill Russell, while Durant is something like a faster Kevin Garnett, if Garnett didn't mind mixing it up inside. You can throw bodies at Oden and get him in foul trouble, but Durant's either going to run around your big guys or run through your guards. Good luck trying to stop him.
