The Transfers - The month of December 2010 was home to just one Buckeye team switch. Ohio State Rookie Andrea Walker parted ways with her first European club CB PIO of the Spanish LF2, and joined Sepsi BC of the Romanian League. ( Story) Walker is averaging 9 points & 10 rebounds for Sepsi (4 gms) so far. We'll have more on her in a later post about the 2010 Rookie Class.
Player of the Month - Buckeye star Ron Lewis had a red hot December for his Belgian club Dexia Mons. The four year pro scored 15 points per game and helped lead Mons to big time Eurochallenge victories over French teams Orleans & Nancy, as well as a W against Belgian Rival Oostende, he scored 18 points in each of those games.Lewis provided one of the most memorable efforts of the month when he lead a Mons comeback against Entente Orleans on December 7th, 2010. Ron scored 7 of his 18 points in the 4th quarter. The win would ultimately- prove to be instrumental in Mons advancing to the Euro-Challenge Last 16.

Honorable Mention - Mike Conley Jr. was our top player for the months of October & November. His 12 points & 7 assists per game in December certainly made a case to be top player for third straight time. Conley came out blazing by averaging 19 points in his first four games of the month, but Memphis went 6-8 in December, and we thought Ron Lewis ' contributions to some big team wins was what gave him the edge. (Clip - One of Mike's top plays of December, a wild layup off the backboard in Atlanta!)
Game 
of the Month - 12.26.2010: Vanoli Cremona 100 at CS Bologna 116 (Triple Overtime in Bologna, Italy)The game of December 2010 took place in Bologna, Italy on December 26 when Je'Kel Foster & Cremona battled CS Bologna in Italian League play. The regulation period was not enough, one overtime was not enough, even two overtimes was not enough! It would take three overtimes to decide a winner on that night. Vanoli Cremona eventually fell on the road by a score of 116-100, but it was fun seeing Foster (pictured left vs Bologna), EJ Rowland & company make play after play to stay in the game. Check out this video of the game! (part two of the Deecmber review coming soon)
