[AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy]

man.... playing i nthat game man! Woulda been awesome!

I doubt they used the same 12 man roster for the whole duration... It must have been like LeMans 24hrs, switching places for 8 hours or so while the other rest (or actually sleep).

[Fresh8]

Maybe the missing 20k went towards the players' hospitalization fees.

From ESPN:

Who's the leading scorer in America? Take a guess. Adam Morrison? Wrong. J.J. Redick? Uh-uh.

And no, he's not some guy from an obscure mid or low-major team either. He's a North Carolina Tar Heel. His name is Rickmon Logan.

And he's averaging 652 points per game.

Logan has only played in one game this season -- obviously he played pretty well. He was the leading scorer in the first Carolina-Duke showdown of the season last weekend. Only this one wasn't played in the Dean Dome, or Cameron Indoor. It took place in Fetzer Gymnasium, on campus in Chapel Hill.

Final score? Duke 3,688 -- UNC 3,444.

The game tipped off a little after 8 a.m last Saturday, and didn't end until Monday evening around 6 p.m. The two teams played continuously for 57 hours, 17 minutes and 41 seconds -- shattering the previous world record by over 20 hours.

Basketball Marathon
A couple of the players who put it on the line in the basketball marathon.
Besides setting the record, the players also raised nearly $60,000 for the Hoop Dreams Basketball Academy, a non-profit organization that helps children with life-threatening illnesses. They're still accepting donations -- if you're interested, click here.

But records and fundraising aside, to participate in this event you clearly had to really love the game. And Rickmon Logan does. He played hoops all through high school, and one year of junior college ball at Surry Community College in Dobson, N.C. But after that, he realized he wasn't going to get a shot at playing Division I -- so he decided to transfer to UNC and concentrate on his studies, settling for being a Tar Heel fan.

Little did he know he'd be Carolina's leading scorer this season. But when a friend who was helping organize the basketball marathon asked him to participate, Logan thought it sounded like fun.

Each team consisted of 12 students. When the game began, they rotated in and out on one-hour shifts. But as the game progressed, they switched to three hours on, three hours off -- with a little longer individual break for sleep overnight. The players weren't permitted to leave the gym for longer than five minutes -- but they were provided with air mattresses, plenty of food, and medical attention, if necessary. "When I was off, I mostly stuffed my face," says Logan. "Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, bananas, donuts ... I ate it all."

The game started off at a pretty quick pace, but then slowed down considerably until the pace picked back up in the final few hours. Logan says his toughest shift was Sunday morning from 2-5 a.m. "Walking back up the court, my body just hurt all over," he says. "I'm used to being asleep during those hours."

Logan got some shut-eye after that shift. But when he awoke, he found that Duke had broken open a pretty close game, to take about a 300-point lead. "At that point I realized the win was probably out of reach," Logan says. "So I just went back out there and tried to enjoy the experience."

And enjoy it he did, scoring from all over the floor -- mid-range jumpers, 3-pointers, with even a few dunks mixed in (Logan is 6-foot-5). But his 652 wasn't quite enough, as the Tar Heels fell by a paltry 244 points.

Logan hasn't heard from Roy Williams or any member of his staff since the game. But that's OK. He's actually going to be laid up for a little bit -- he had to have his surgically-repaired right knee drained a couple days after the game, because it had swelled up so much. And anyway, Logan graduated in December with a degree in biology. He plans to become a physician's assistant.

Despite the knee problem, Logan's glad he played. "I really enjoyed myself," Logan says. "I'd do it again if I had the chance."

Go for it, Logan. But that career-high will be tough to top.
