... first half against South Carolina when big man Przemek Karnowski took a hand to the face and was taken to the locker room to be checked out.

Thornwell averaged 25.8 points through the ...

Big Ten Baseball Review, Rooting For Karnowski

... kicked, Penn State lost 39-9 over three games. Add in Michigan's previous two games against Toledo (12-0) and Central Michigan (13-4), and the Wolverines outscored their opponents 64-13. Michigan gets Illinois at home for the next conference series, so they're just gonna keep blasting away. Iowa swept UNLV. Decent series for the Hawkeyes, but, again, expected as UNLV had come in on a losing streak, and then left on an even longer one. Scores were 3-0, 6-5, 7-6… so two one-run games. In the second game of the series the Hawkeyes had to score three runs in the bottom of the ninth, and in the final game, the go-ahead run was scored because of a throwing error by UNLV, so not exactly the strongest of stands by Iowa, but they did manage to get the sweep. Illinois swept Indiana State. Nice showing by Illinois. They came in on a losing streak and swept a team that had just knocked off Indiana. Scores: 6-4, 2-1, 5-2. Northwestern ...

... who first arrived in Chapel Hill four years ago weighing 320 pounds, has slimmed considerably since then, shedding 60 pounds off his hulking 6-foot-10 frame. Karnowski’s just as big, if not bigger — he’s listed at 300 pounds in his own right, but three inches taller than Meeks. “A very big low post matchup,” head coach Roy Williams said during his Sunday afternoon press conference at University of Phoenix Stadium.

After a late three-point attempt by Ja Vale Mc Gee on Sunday in what ended up as a blowout in Oakland, the Wizards made it clear they thought the Warriors owed them an apology.

Przemek Karnowski Has Reached The Mountaintop

... a masterful performance against the Arizona Wildcats by scoring 18 points and locking down their heralded big men. The Mountain was back. Though Karnowski is averaging a career high 12.2 points per game to go along with 5.8 rebounds per game, his numbers are eclipsed by other players. However, there are few players, if any, that can match his outsized influence on a game. His size and skill level allows the Zags to run their offense efficiently through the post, with his preternatural court vision and passing ability flummoxing opposing defenses who are left wondering how many men they can commit to defending him. It’s no surprise then that Gonzaga’s best years have coincided with Karnowski’s presence. The big man from Torun, Poland has won more games in his collegiate career than any other player in the history of Division I basketball. ...

FTW: Do you think he will make the NBA. Gortat: Well, it’s going to be tough. It’s going to be tough. He knows this. The NBA is going in a different direction, different game than he’s playing right now. It’s not going to be easy for him, but there’s always a chance. Obviously, I’m cheering for him, I’m hoping he’s going to make it. FTW: Last year, with the back injury, he obviously had a really tough situation. Did you talk with him much. Gortat: Well, I spoke with him about that. He called me during rehab many times, and we were on the phone many ...
