March Madness 2015: UAB G Hakeem Baxter brings that Philadelphia toughness to Blazers
http://www.sportsmanias.com/news/uab-bla...b373000026

Well I be dang, I just said how important Baxter is to this team. Big Dee thinks he will be coming off the bench next year, but I see him continuing to start, he has that something that stands out as being a real baller.

Am I losing my critical eye, but was that a decently written article by Birdsong.

The first paragraph was a really, really long sentence, but I don't think there were any errors in it.

It depends on what we bring in. Madison, Baxter, and Sullivan are the only guys really comfortable taking the ball into traffic down low. I think dirk is going to be more of a 3 point specialist than an all around scorer. If we get Ingram, we won't know what he is until he is here. Haase clearly knows what he is doing, I think Baxter is helpful in either role. Everybody in his rotations will get their minutes one way or another.

As opposed to the Mehinti article which is a mess. Missing a quotation mark in the first sentence.

If we can get to 50% I'll take it.

The only thing I've got is "the No. 14 Blazers face third seeded Iowa State..."

We're not #14, we're the 14 seed, but I knew what he meant. Perhaps being #14 is in our future though.

Good reporting by Birdsong. Nice story.
