Stephon Carter

Carter is 14 points from becoming the CSB's all time leading scorer. Got a chance to get it tonight at home.

Got a chance to see him in person again last wednesday, I love watching him play. Dude is a greyhound. Long, athletic, and quick. Great all around player, which is what makes him so special.

He's not a pure scorer because he isn't a great catch and shoot player. But Carter can really get to the rim, he tore Wyoming up in the 2nd half coming off that high pick and roll. Ate them alive. Great mid range shooter and can create his own shot. Carter also is a good passer and an excellent rebounder. Can really pressure and turn over the ball on defense too.

More than anyone else, Carter made me a Roadrunners fan. Good luck to Stephon on getting the record tonight.

He better get it tonight (vrs CS San Marcos...NAIA) or it will be broken on the road.

BTW...CSUB TRAILING now.... by about 2.... second half.

[RunnerBall]

Record broken! Congrats Stephon!

I regret too, that he never played for a Runner team in a conference. Would have been interesting how teams would adjust to him the second time around and how HE would alter HIS game in response.

CSUB wins 82-71
Carter has 23 points (game high)

I think Brandon Barnes is playing impressively and bodes well for next year.

Good for him. I didn't have a chance to listen to the game tonight. Did they stop the game when he broke the record?

I agree about Barnes. He is going to be key next year too. He is the most athletic Runner after Carter.

BTW, Corey warned us about San Marcos, apparently they are a really good NAIA team full of D1 transfers.

Good interview of Carter and Barnes about Stephon getting the record.

[RunnerBall]

I think they stopped game, but very briefly. Game was pretty much a nail-biter but CSUB closed pretty well...tonight anyway.

Earlier in the year I said Carter hasn't made the quantum leap we were hoping for as a senior. In the second half of the year Carter has gone nuts. His numbers are crazy. Points, rebounds, steals, assists. They are huge across the board.

He had a huge game again tonight at UTPA. Unfortunately the Runners blew a lead and lost the game. Bummer that his effort was wasted.

I suspect Carter will play pro basketball in Europe. If he had a better perimeter shot, he'd play in the NBA. There are so many good guards though, I can't see him making it without a better outside shot. I finally figured out who he reminds me of. Aaron Afflalo from UCLA. Very similar player. AA is a better shooter though, which is why he is in the NBA.
