The Dagger - NCAAB

Extra Onions is a roundup of college hoops stuff from around the 'Webs. As always, email or follow me on Twitter to send along links I should see.

Everybody loves Josh. Josh Pastner's introduction to the public could have gone a lot worse: Pastner's coaching performance was reserved, competent, and had Stone Phillips-level gravitas. It was easy to forget Pastner is merely 31 and in his first head coaching role (that is, until a roommate walks in the room and says, "What is this guy, 14?"). In any case, the world is signing Josh Pastner's praises today, from old-school guys like Alexander Wolff to our bloggy friends at Deadspin, who deem Pastner "last night's winner." Look at Josh. All grown up!

Meet Scottie Reynolds. Again. Scottie Reynolds is awesome on the basketball court. His family story -- which is new to me -- is pretty awesome, too.

"Possibly never -- Digger Phelps." Yet Another Basketball Blog's Dan Hanner has the must-read recap of yesterday's marathon.

Evan Turner: Good at basketball. This is an obvious statement, but Seth Davis's breakdown of exactly what Turner is doing to the positional nature of college hoops is interesting stuff all the same. Before the season's over, Evan Turner could lead a revolution.

Briefly: Storming the Floor posts last night's chat; Searching For Billy Edelin takes note of what has thus far been a disappointing start for the SEC; Gary Parrish notes that tonight Rhode Island will be the 347th of 347 teams to play a 2009-10 basketball game this season; UM Hoops is happy to see Manny Harris get some love; and Casual Hoya hands out a set of very sardonic awards for the Hoyas after last night's near-disaster against Temple.
