I was at that game ! I was an exchange student at Texas Tech from France... That night I saw this tall skinny kid nailing shot after shot and hitting his chest with his fist ... no one has dominated college basketball as a freshman the way he did... amazing! thanks for posting this vid!

averaging 32 points a game as a FRESHMAN... unreal

EveryDayIsAGoodDay u don't know what you talking about man. College hoop means alot in terms of NBA success. Hansbrough wasn't dominant in college he was dominant against certain players and teams but when he faced nba talent and size down low he wasn't. KD was hitting 20 a game every single game against anybody. He had the same consistency he has in the nba.

Ralph sampson is in the hall of fame so

saw him live against KU. I've never seen a college player so obviously on another level than anyone else on the floor.

as a lifelong texas basketball fan, this was one of the greatest and most entertaining seasons i've had the pleasure of following. what a player.

I always think what if Lamarcus Aldridge would have stayed one more year. You would have had Aldridge, Durant, D.J Augustine, and A.J. Abrams. That would have been a legendary Texas team.

He had a lot of talent too bad he's in China now. Could've been a good 12-14 points off the bench.

+Marcus Hooks To be fair, KD was the man in Texas, he had no one to take shots away from him. Ingram in Duke has other players that take shots away from him. For Example KARL ANTHONY TOWNS in Kentucky only avg. 10 pounds and 6 rebounds his freshman year because he had other players that ate up on his stats. Stats could be misleading.
