PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
Jason Rozycki, Oakland: It was Shock City last week when Oakland University of the Mid-Continent Conference, in its third season in Division I basketball, put the hurt on Brian Ellerbe's Michigan Wolverines. One of the key players responsible for the upset was Jason Rozycki, who scored 32 big points. He hit six trifectas, grabbed five rebounds and dished eight assists. Yes, reality set in as he struggled in the loss to Michigan State, but you can't take away what he did against Michigan. Rozycki gets my nod as PTPer of the week.

Kenny Gregory, Kansas: Gregory was explosive and Mr. Clutch at crunch time for Roy Williams' Jayhawks as they won the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. Also give credit to Joseph Forte of North Carolina, a member of my All-Rolls Royce team, for scoring 38 big ones in a win over Tulsa.

DIAPER DANDY OF THE WEEK
Rodney White, Charlotte: Charlotte, the school people used to call North Carolina-Charlotte, is a real sleeper team. Bobby Lutz has a dangerous club and the 49ers sent word that they are legitimate with a big win at Raleigh over N.C. State. Many projected the Wolfpack to be a Top 25 team, and the 49ers put the hurt on them, 95-78. One big factor was Rodney White, an inside-outside player who put up 21 points against the veteran frontline of N.C. State. He knocked down three trifectas and played a big role.

TEAM OF THE WEEK
Georgia State and Tennessee Tech, Co-Teams of the Week: Let's start with the TAAC and Georgia State. Lefty Driesell's team came up with a big win at Georgia. The magical enthusiasm is so contagious around the lefthander. Then there is Tennessee Tech, coached by former North Carolina guard Jeff Lebo. That's right, Lebo, who was recruited to play for the Tar Heels by current Gamecocks coach Eddie Fogler. The Golden Eagles of the Ohio Valley Conference stunned South Carolina of the SEC. What a way to start the season with big-time upsets.
