Eric Gordon... Oh My!

What a performance on a Prime Time National stage.

Eric Gordon had 17 pts in the first quarter as North Central took a 25 - 22 lead.

I found this quote interesting:
"Eric Gordon is an attempt by Kelvin Sampson to change what has been the mass exodus of great stars in Indiana to places like Dominic James heading to Marquette, we talked about Josh McRoberts heading to Duke, even Rodney Carney he went down to Memphis, Sean May went down to North Carolina." Doug Gottleib
Interesting that they didn't mention once the coach at IU during that time frame. Could it be because Doug Gottleib was one that kept telling us IU fans that we were nuts for not "loving" Mike Davis and the "Wonderful" job he was doing recruiting at IU.

Gordon followed up his 17 pts with another 11 in the 2nd quarter as North Central took a 50 - 27 lead.

Cool to see Michael Jordon sitting beside Quinn Buckner at the game watching Marcus and Jeff. I feel sorry for those 2. They are nice basketball players, but they aren't like Mike.

Gordon had 11 in the 3rd period for 39 as NC extended the lead even more to 67 - 41.

And in the 4th quarter, Gordon had 4 and finished with 43 pts.

North Central absolutely destroyed an undefeated the #2 team in Illinois and the #22 overall HS team.

And on a side note... Indianapolis beat Chicago... just like what will happen on Sunday.

Poor Webber. You think he has been crying over not getting Gordon? Wait until Gordon goes for 40 on the Illini next year.
