Earl Clark does a bad thing to Luke Harangody

By Eamonn Brennan

Poor Luke Harangody. So good at basketball -- he might be the Player of the Year! Luke Harangody! -- and yet, so goofy-looking, so susceptible to being that guy people really, really want to dunk on. It's a tragicomic existence. Like Richard Nixon's.

Take last night. Sure, Harangody's Irish lost to a suddenly impressive Louisville team, but Harangody still got his: 28 points and 11 rebounds. And yet, the most notable thing about his game last night was what Earl Clark did to him on the above drive. Watch the beginning, and then fast forward to the 2:20 mark to see the thing in its full glory.

Guh. Nasty. (Update: Card Chronicle has every Louisville fan's new poster. Oh, my.)

    It is newsworthy when Luke Harangody name keeps popping up in the news like he is the second coming of Jesus. I find it amusing!! lol

    He takes 2 steps for those that are having trouble counting. Oh, and just FYI, that's legal. Glad to see learning to count is now optional in our public school system.

    Luke Harangody is like Tyler Hansbrough, Big slow white kids that will look great in college but will flop in the NBA, Trust me on this fellas, Nick COllinson, J.J Riddick, Adam Morrison and Raef Lafrentz were supposed to be phenoms as well, LOL
    Hansbrough will be a great roll player thats it Luke Harangody, slightly less

    Seriously? It was 1 play. Not like the guy put up 30 on him. This is referred to as "Making a mountain out of a mole hill"

    who cares. anybody that attempts to play good defense will eventually get dunked on. if you bail out on a play because you're more concerned about being posterized than playing defense, you shouldn't be on the court in the first place.

    one dunk who cares? it's just two points, this sort of concentration on singular plays is what has ruined sports journalism, and is quickly ruining the game in general.
