TOUGHEST PLACE TO
PLAY
Oregon ... 50%
" McArthur Court is crazy. It's been there for 80 years. The stands go
straight up, and the band plays the fight song on every dead ball." ...

even know about a teammate."

turn around and complain."

be." ... "His potential is great, but he hasn't lived up to his

DUNKER
Hassan Adams, ARIZONA ... 50%
"If it's a fast break and you're on that side with him, they are going to
throw it up in the air. Most of the time you won't be able to jump and get the
ball, so you'd better just move out of the way or you're going to be on
SportsCenter."
