Posted Apr 5, 2009

Here came Durrell Summers, a 6-foot-4 sophomore, flying on a fast break, and he rose for a jam and went right into UConn’s 6-foot-9 Stanley Robinson, like a fly going into a windshield. And it didn’t matter. Not the 5-inch height difference. Not the sub versus starter. Not the fact that Robinson usually dunks on everyone else. Summers was absolutely going to plow through the mighty Husky en route to the Promised Land, and his teammates were about to do the same. (Detroit Free Press)
